Gears Application
Today gears are almost used in every
industry. It is the most common device for transmitting power in
mechanical engineering. Gears are an important component of small but
complicated machines like clock to large kiln and mill drive system. The
gears form an essential part in running of various machines and
automobile.
There are variety of gears available that are used in different
industries according to the specific requirements. These gears can be
classified under automotive gears, mining gears, wind turbines, bicycle
gears, mill heads, instrumentation gears, conveyor system, marine gears
and more.
The basic function of the gear is to alter the rotational speed, power
or torque and direction between input and output shaft. Torque is the
measure of force required to produce torsion and rotation about an axis.
When a large gear drive is coupled with a smaller gear drive, the torque
is reduced and the speed of the rotation is increased. Different
arrangement of the gears can also be used for enhancement of positioning
system.
Gears are widely used in the agro industry. They are used in
processes like tilling, seeding, ploughing, irrigation, pest and insect
control etc. The agriculture vehicle, tractor also make use of gears in
its mechanism. Usually Spur Gears, Helical Gears, Worm Gears and
Sprockets are used.
Automotive Industry require gears for high torque capacity and
to convert mechanical energy smoothly and noiselessly. The type of gears
used are Manual transmission, Semi automatic transmission and Automatic
transmission.
Gears are also used in Conveyor Systems for optimizational of
mechanical energy. With the help of gears, goods are transported from
one place to another through belts.
Marine uses gears in various vessels like fast ferry boats,
luxury yachts, frigates and work boats etc. These gears are usually more
powerful and they meet critical applications. Types of gear used are
Planetary Gears, Worm Reduction Gears and Helical Gears.
Few of the gears are used for mill heads in cement plants, sugar
mills, sag mills, tube mills, coal mills, sponge iron plants, gold mine
sand many more. These gears are Girth Gears, Spur Gears, Face Gears,
Spiral Bevel Gears and Helical Gears.
Different types of gears are used in mining industry to keep the
machines run efficiently by power transmission in both above and
underground operations. Types of gearboxes used are Bevel Gear , Helical
Gear, Right Angle Gear, Parallel Shaft Gear, Planetary Gear and Worm
Gear.
Power Station make use of high quality and high precision gears
for the use in power generation equipment and machines. They are used
for for high speed application. The gears that are usually used are
Parallel Shaft Gears and Planetary Gears.
The wind turbine makes use of gears to make the slow blades
rotate faster. Types of gearbox used are Planetary Gearbox, Helical
Gearbox and Worm Gearbox.
