Designers generally turn to gear reducers in servopositioning applications for two reasons. First, many applications require less speed and more torque than economically available from a servo-motor ...

From a load-capacity point of view, the most suitable gearhead ratio has the highest torque density for the most compact (and cost-effective) package. From an application point of view, the best ...

The choice between helical and spur gears in gearboxes may seem straightforward. Go with helical gears if you want the gearbox to run as smoothly and quietly as possible. Choose spur gears when you ...

Gears provide two main functions in motion-control systems. In power systems, they match the relatively low-speed, high-torque requirement of the load to the high-speed, low-torque, high-efficiency ...

Even if you’re an experienced home mechanic, there are parts of your car that probably give you trouble. They’re either too hard to access or too complex to work within your garage. Transmissions tend ...

Gears come in all shapes and sizes. They are the toothy wonders that make the world go around, and they're incredibly important in the operation of a motor vehicle. There's a more specific type of ...

A clock is perhaps one of the the most popular projects among makers. Most designs we see are purely electronic and do not bother with the often more complicated mechanical part. Instructables user ...

Both transmissions have a planetary gear design and are ready for up to 400 Nm of input torque. The rear coaxial unit weighs just 16 kg and has an integrated parking lock for very high loads.
