Gear Manufacturing

Spur gears have straight teeth and are the most common type of gear. They are used to transmit motion between two parallel shafts and are known for being highly efficient and producing a lot of power. Depending on the application, they can be mated with a rack, another spur gear, or an internal gear.

Helical gears have teeth that are “twisted” or set on an angle to the gear axis. The features and benefits are similar to spur gears but can be a better option when higher velocities are needed. Helical Gears can be produced in a right hand or left-hand configuration or as mates in pairs consisting of one right hand and one left hand gear with the same helix angle. They helix angle creates more tooth contact between the gears resulting in more of a sliding motion the yields quieter, smoother operation.

Splines are used to connect two parts together. Unlike gears they are not usually used to transmit motions. The external teeth on a shaft mesh with the internal teeth of the mating part allowing torque to transfer from one piece to another.

Worms and worm gears sets are used to transmit motion between nonparallel shafts. Worms can be single or multithreaded and look like large screws. A worm gear system consists of a worm and worm wheel positioned as a cross axis and is the most compact type of gear system. The worm is paired with a worm gear, that looks similar to a spur gear. Worm gears systems are compact, offer large gear reductions and large speed reductions. Due to the compact design, worm gear reducers are able to be placed in relatively small spaces and provide high-ratio speed reduction. Worm gears are known to run smoothly and quietly, as long as they are properly mounted and lubricated.

Bevel gears are cone shaped gears designed to transmit motion between intersecting axes. They are usually mounted on shafts that are 90 degrees apart but can be designed for nearly any angle. There are several types of bevel gears including straight, spiral, zerol and hypoid. The choice of gear is dependent on the requirements of the application.

Sprockets are used in bicycles, film projectors and tanks. They are known for being a dependable drive system for continuous drive applications providing the maximum absorption of shock and minimum torque load.
