Developments in manufacturing have increased people's interest in gears. In this article, we will try to provide information that will help you choose the gear that will solve your problem.
What is a Gear?
A gear is the common name given to gear mechanisms with cylindrical, circular, or conical geometry. It consists of teeth machined into the material at equal intervals. Gears can also be called gear wheels, cogs, and pinions. Cutting, forging, powder metallurgy, extrusion, casting, and similar methods are some of the methods used in gear manufacturing. Gears are generally connected to a machine via a shaft and are driven through the teeth to increase movement and force within the mechanism.
The Most Common Gear Types
Today, there are many different types of gears, distinguished by their shape, size, and the number or arrangement of teeth. The most common gear types are:
Spur gears
Helical gears (and screw gears)
Double helical gears (and herringbone gears)
Rack and pinion gears
Bevel gears
Straight, spiral, zero, hypoid, crown, and miter gears
Worm gears
Internal gears
