What Are The Types of Gears That We Deal With And Their Applications?
For your convenience, here are the aftermarket type of gears that we offer:
Spur Gear
Spur gears are simple and compact gears that are used in transmission systems, conveyors, pumps and so on. These are meant to increase or reduce speed or build up more torque.
Helical Gear
Helical gears are quite similar to spur gears, although, their teeth are cut to an angle in comparison to the axis. These come in use earthmoving machinery, printing industry and so on.
Double Helical Gear
A double helical gear is the type of gear that is made of two opposite helical gears placed face to face, with a space in between them. These can cancel out the opposing energy of the gear itself and can transmit high power.
Herringbone Gear
A herringbone gear is like a double helical gear but has no space in between and is placed side to side, unlike the face-to-face arrangement found in the other type.
Bevel Gear
Bevel gear systems are those where the axes of two shafts are placed at an angle or perpendicularly. The resulting arrangement from this type of gear is extremely efficient.
Worm Gear
In a worm gear arrangement, a shaft with spiral threading rotates the worm gear wheel. This type of gear has a wide range of speed reduction ratios.
Hypoid Gear
A hypoid gear is a combination of bevel gear and helical gear, though the gear axes do not intersect. These are the most common type of gear applied in rear-wheel-drive vehicle transmission systems.
