What Is the Purpose of the Coal Machine Bevel Gear?
Apr. 25, 2024
Coal machines use bevel gears to rotate the intermediate section and end sections, and to mesh with other gears. For example, a coal mining machine may have a small bevel gear assembly that meshes with a large bevel gear assembly that is parallel to the coal surface.
What Is the Difference Between a Hypoid and a Spiral Bevel Gear?
Apr. 17, 2024
A hypoid is a type of spiral bevel gear whose axis does not intersect with the axis of the meshing gear. The shape of a hypoid gear is a revolved hyperboloid (that is, the pitch surface of the hypoid gear is a hyperbolic surface), whereas the shape of a spiral bevel gear is normally conical.
Spur Gears vs. Herringbone Gears
Mar. 21, 2024
Spur gears are versatile, efficient, and widely used in various applications. They are suitable for transmitting power between parallel shafts. Herringbone gears, on the other hand, provide advantages in terms of noise reduction, high torque transmission, and elimination of axial thrust forces.
Herringbone Gears: Characteristics and Applications
Mar. 18, 2024
Machine tools: In precision machine tools, such as lathes and milling machines, herringbone gears are used to transmit power between motors and moving parts. This helps ensure accurate machining and reduces unwanted vibration.

Feb. 29, 2024
Industrial gearbox gears transfer power between a system and allow for a wide variety of speeds/loads to be achieved for a fixed range of input speed/loads. They come in many unique designs and materials depending on the application.
A Guide to Gears: 6 Gears, Their Traits, and How They Work
Jan. 29, 2024
Similarly to helical gears when compared to spur gears, the curvature allows for a higher tooth contact ratio, meaning that spiral bevel gears are more efficient than the standard bevel gear; they are stronger, less noisy, and vibrate less.
