A Machined Gear is a mechanical component with precisely cut teeth designed to mesh with another gear to transmit torque and motion. These gears are manufactured through CNC machining processes, ensuring high accuracy, durability, and performance in various industrial applications.
Our machined gears are available in various specifications to meet diverse needs. Below is a detailed table of standard parameters:
| Parameter | Specification | Range/Options |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Steel, Brass, Plastic, Aluminum | Custom materials available |
| Module (mm) | 1 to 10 | Standard or custom modules |
| Number of Teeth | 10 to 200 | Based on application requirements |
| Pressure Angle | 20° or 14.5° | Commonly 20° for most applications |
| Gear Type | Spur, Helical, Bevel, Worm | Select based on motion transmission needs |
| Surface Treatment | Black oxide, Zinc plating, Hardening | Improves corrosion resistance and lifespan |
| Accuracy Grade | AGMA 6 to 10 | Higher grades for precision applications |
Machined gears are used in numerous industries, including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and robotics. They are essential in systems requiring precise motion control, such as conveyor belts, engines, and gearboxes.
What materials are commonly used for machined gears?
Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, and engineering plastics like nylon. Material selection depends on factors like load capacity, environment, and cost.
How do I choose the right type of gear for my application?
Consider the motion type (e.g., parallel shafts for spur gears, intersecting shafts for bevel gears), load requirements, speed, and noise levels. Consulting with an engineer is recommended for optimal selection.
What is the typical lead time for custom machined gears?
Lead times vary based on complexity and quantity, but standard custom orders typically take 2-4 weeks. Rush services may be available for urgent needs.
Can machined gears be repaired if damaged?
Yes, minor damages like worn teeth can often be repaired through welding and re-machining. However, severely damaged gears may need replacement for safety and performance.
What maintenance is required for machined gears?
Regular lubrication, inspection for wear or misalignment, and cleaning are essential. Follow manufacturer guidelines for specific maintenance schedules based on usage.
