Today there is vast application of
gears 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, marine gears, wind
turbines, bicycle gears, mill heads, instrumentation gears, conveyor
system 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.
Automotive Industry require automotive gears for high torque
capacity and to convert mechanical energy smoothly and noiselessly. The
type of automotive gears used are Manual transmission, Semi automatic
transmission and Automatic transmission.
Marine uses gears in various vessels like fast ferry boats,
luxury yachts, frigates and work boats etc. These marine gears are
usually more powerful and they meet critical applications. Automatic of
marine gears used are Planetary Gears, Worm Reduction Gears and Helical
Gears.
Agricultural Gears are widely used in the agro industry.
Agricultural Automotive Gears are used in processes like tilling,
seeding, ploughing, irrigation, pest and insect control etc. The
agriculture vehicle, tractor also make use of these agricultural gears
in its mechanism. Usually Spur Gears, Helical Gears, Worm Gears and
Sprockets are used.
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.
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
Automatic of Gears are
used in mining industry to keep the machines run efficiently by power
transmission in both above and underground operations. Automatic 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. Automatic of gearbox used are Planetary Gearbox, Helical
Gearbox and Worm Gearbox.
