American Gear Provides World-Class Gear ReducerGear Drive Services

Gear is an integral part of many industrial products. Gears have a wide range of application in diverse industries such as Automobile, Machine Tools, Aerospace, General Engg. and so on. Manufacturers are now increasingly seeking machine tools and technology for better productivity and quality of gears for that can meet their requirements as there is a growing demand.

The customer expects improved performance, cheaper cost, light weight, better efficiency, minimal noise, and rapid development. The technology of Gear manufacturing has evolved over the years from the traditional gears made by casting and forging to plastic gears,. With a combination of innovative manufacturing technologies and superior materials Gear manufacturing process have become more simple and productive.

Spur gears transfer rotary motion between parallel shafts having straight teeth which are parallel to the shaft on which the gear is mounted.  Spur gears are simple in design and manufacture due to their structure. There they are used for a wide array of applications.

Helical gears transmit rotary motion between crossed or parallel shafts having gear teeth that are inclined at an angle to the gear axis. As they have an Inclined angle, there are two or more teeth are always in contact with each other during gear rotation and working.

These Gears have helical angled teeth in opposition to each other. That means one is Left handed and the opposing side is Right handed helix angle. Often the both helical angled gears have a small gap in the middle to facilitate gear hobbing operation.

Double helical gears have double the contact gear tooth area compared to single helical gears and hence have more load and power transmitting abilities operating at low noise levels and high speeds.

Places where large speed reductions are needed Worm gears are usually used. The reduction ratio is determined by the number of starts of the worm and number of teeth on the worm gear. Worm gears have sliding contact which is quiet but tends to produce heat and have relatively low transmission efficiency.
