Worm Gears - Knowing Its Types and All Other Facts

Image
A worm, in industrial parlance, is a shaft with a helical thread. It is commonly a part of a gear that meshes with a toothed wheel. Worm gears, on the other hand, are known as worm wheels. Sometimes many people are confused with the terms worm, worm gear, and worm drive, thinking that these three mean the same thing. Worm gears are important especially when there is a need to reduce the gear size. It is the worm that has the capacity to make the gear rotate and not the other way around. With the shallow angle on the worm, the gear does not have the capacity to rotate it. There are basically three different kinds of worm wheels: non-throated single throated double throated Non-throated worm wheels are those that do not have throats in both the worms and the gear. Single-throated categories are those whose gears are throated. Lastly, double-throated ones are those with throated worms and gears. Worm gear Characteristics :  There are notable traits of a worm wheel. First, it has the...

Are You Familiar With the Gearbox?

Image
What is a Gearbox? As its name implies, it is a Gear transmission component, whose function is to transmit the power through the function of the driver gear. What features does the Gearbox have? It is said that its features can be summarized as follow. The Gearbox adopts a stable design. It can be changed according to the customer's need. The common cases, such as cases with parallel axes, cases with rectangular axis, vertical-type cases, and horizontal-type cases, are widely used in the gearbox. The circular gear and spiral bevel make full use of the advanced grinding technology. Owing to the technology, the temperature, and the noise can be reduced, and meanwhile, the operation reliability can also be improved. The input mode belongs to axis input by the way of flange connection. As for the output mode,     it is realized by connecting the solid axis and hollow axis. What function does the Gearbox have? As is known to us, it is widely used in the applicat...

Timing Pulleys - Comparing Nylon and Aluminum

Image
In any application where there is a drive, driven or idler pulley, engineers and designers need to consider the properties of the materials used in the  Timing pulley construction before committing to a final design. Nylon and aluminum are the two most common construction materials for timing pulleys . Both materials have their advantages and disadvantages depending on the application. Nylon timing pulleys are lightweight, offering excellent inertia control which in turn enhances energy savings. They feature good wear characteristics, inherent chemical resistance, material cost savings, and have no oxidation issues. Aluminum timing pulleys are also considered lightweight, although heavier than nylon. They have moderate inertia control and display excellent wear characteristics. They are mechanically durable, but have some oxidation issues if untreated (clear coat or anodizing). Additives to the nylon can give the end-user important, and sometimes necessary, properties incl...

Spur Gears - Greatest Mechanical Discovery

Image
Mechanical gears play a crucial role in the history of machines. Gears are basically mechanical transmission devices that have a wide range of applications in industries. A gear is a toothed-shaped mechanism that may be either a wheel or a cylinder. It is a device that meshes and rotates by administering force to a toothed part of another device to produce a mechanical advantage. There are many types of industrial gears of which Spur Gears are the most common types of gears. A spur gear is a unique gear with straight teeth mounted parallel to the axis of rotation. How do they work: These gears can be connected and interlocked easily when placed next to each other. However, make sure that the gears are placed in such a position that the gear wheels are on the same plane. Now when the main gear is rotated the teeth present on the main gear automatically push the interlocking teeth forward. As both are on parallel axles it causes the consecutively linked gear to turn and rotate in the o...

Industrial Gears: Their Types and Usage

Image
Gears are utilized in a huge number of industries and mechanical devices. Gears are responsible for doing a lot of jobs, but most significantly they are used to supply a gear reduction in motorized equipment. By means of a gear reduction, the production pace can be reduced while the torque can be enlarged. These gears are also used to regulate the direction of the rotation. Gears are of various types, one of which is the industrial gears. Industrial Gears are mainly toothed shaped equipment parts such as a wheel or a cylinder. Industrial gears are used to determine the torque, course, and pace of revolution for the moving parts. Industrial gears are available in various forms such as spur, helical, bevel, and worm, etc. Some of these types and their uses are been discussed below: Spur Gears : Spur gears are the common gears that transmit power between two parallel shafts. Since the tooth surfaces of the gears are parallel to the axes of the shafts, there is no thrust force generated i...

About Gears and Gears Manufacturers

Image

Industrial Gears: An Insight

Image
Industrial gears are machines that cause torque/motion in mechanical systems attached to them. These are generally tooth-shaped rotating machines that form a couple with one or more tooth-shaped parts of a mechanical system. Such an arrangement that provides motion to the whole system is termed as a "Gear". The main objectives are to convert mechanical energy into some form of motion and to change the speed and direction of that motion. When many gears work simultaneously in sync, it is termed as transmission. A transmission generally contains gears which are different in size. If two different gears of different sizes are in transmission, then the smaller gear will move more swiftly than the bigger one. Although, the torque generated by the bigger one is more than that of the smaller ones. Transmission is very much similar to a cross belted pulley motion with two wheels. Though in the case of gears we have an advantage - gears do not slip due to their tooth-shaped structure...
