To understand how precision engineering companies design and manufacture gears you need to speak to them directly. Every project is different: with differing materials, timescales, and equipment. This is even more important when you need gear cutting at a sub micron level. With some types of precision engineering specialist clean […]
To the outsider, the world of gear cutting and gear machining is a complex one.Highly specific types of gears (which are made of differing materials, with a largevariety of specifications) are required for every type of machine you can imagine. The sizes of a gear can range from those that […]
Getting the right gear design is a matter of real importance when you are preparing specifications for a new piece of machinery. Some engineers prefer to use their own gear designs, others work in partnership with the gear manufacturer. If you are looking to generate your own gear drawings there […]
The angled way in which teeth are cut for helical gears means they are a quieter gear than the spur gears. The angle cut to the face of the gear creates a more gradual engagement of the gears and are found in almost all car transmissions. Again, the angle means […]
The testing of a gear is an essential part of the process of providing quality, longer lasting gears. Using the excellent Klingelnberg CNC Gear checking machine, allows gear manufacturers to not only test the gears, it produces precision graphs to the NAMAS standard (National Accreditation of Measurement and Sampling). This […]
During the process of manufacturing gears there are many different materials that are used. Their use is dependent on what kinds of design the gear is to be made to. Although steel is used in for high strength designs, the ease of making complicated shapes out of cast iron, makes […]
The use of gears can be traced back to ancient Greece, but it wasn’t until the birth of the industrial revolution that the use of machinery created a level of noise that was so extreme it caused physical problems to those working in them. In the USA a state bureau study into […]
