Common Types of the Gear Accessories

Gear accessories are the mechanical parts playing vital role in many industries. The gear accessories match with gears, and support gears functioning normally, they should be chosen according to types of gears that are applied. Here are some of the gear accessories.

1. The gearbox which can provide speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device using gear ratios. It is quite popular. It can be used in various situations such as fixed machines, pedal bicycles, and anywhere else. The gearbox parts include automotive differential housing, automotive shift block, automotive shift forks, etc.

2. The gear motor which has a gear reduction system or the gearbox integrally built into the motor. Its main advantage is that the driving shaft may be coupled directly to the driven shaft.

3. The transfer case. It is a power take off unit that can route torque from the transmission to both the front and rear axles.

4. The axle. It is also a very necessary part in the assembly. It can be fixed in position with a bearing inside the hole in the wheel or gear to allow the wheel or gear to rotate around the axle under some situations.

5. Gearbox housing is the center part of the gearbox. It can be widely used in many places such as robots, electric motors, aerospace transmission and so on.

6. Gear coupling is a mechanical device for transmitting torque between two shafts that are not collinear. It has many types, for example, the flexible coupling and the rigid coupling. They have the specific features. The lubrication of this accessory is also very important. The appropriate lubrication can make the service life longer.

Many others such as the gear hobs, gear cutter, mandrel and so on, aluminum shift block, are important parts which can cooperate with gears to have better function.
