Cogs, Gears, and Sprockets

Gears, cogs, and sprockets are all mechanical components used for transmitting rotational motion and torque between two shafts or other elements.

Harmonic Drive

Harmonic drives are a type of gearing system that use a flexible outer wheel with internal teeth, and a rigid inner wheel with external teeth, separated by a series of ball bearings. The unique design of the harmonic drive allows for high gear ratios, high torque-to-weight ratios, and precise positioning with low backlash. The compact...

Gear Manufacturing

Gear manufacturing is the process of creating gears, which are important components in many machines and mechanisms. There are several methods used in gear manufacturing, including hobbing, shaping, skiving, milling, broaching, and grinding. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of method depends on the type of gear, its size, material,...

Gear Types

Spur Gears Spur gears are the most common type of gear and are used in a wide range of applications. They have straight teeth that are parallel to the axis of rotation and transmit power between parallel shafts. Spur gears are often used in applications where noise and accuracy are not critical factors. Helical Gears...

Gear Design & Specification

Gears are mechanical components that transmit power and motion between rotating shafts. They are found in a wide range of machines, from simple hand-cranked devices to complex industrial equipment. The design of gears is critical to the performance and reliability of these machines. Gear design involves the selection of appropriate gear types, sizes, and materials...
