  • Reliable Gear Reduction Units Are Critical For Many Applications
    It's pretty obvious that there are a great many more electric motors in use. They are used in many industries - from airports to office buildings to production lines. Many important applications use gear motors and speed reduction gears to gain optimum use of all sizes of electric motors
  • The Advantage of Strain Wave Gear
    arc-sec. Strain wave gear (harmonic reducer) units are reversible and can be used for speed increase as well as speed reduction. With only three elements high single stage reduction ratios ranging from 50:1 to 320:1 can be achieved.
  • What Gearing Types are Typical of Fractional Horsepower Motors
    Originally, gears and the structure that houses them (called gearheads, gear reducers or gearboxes) were created for two main reasons: 1.To increase motor torque. 2.To enable more adjustments to be made to a motor's speed. However, advancements in technology has enabled gearboxes to make additional
  • MagneGear TM Linear and Rotary Magnetic Gearing Devices for Downhole Applications
    of reduction gearing has long been used as a simple way to gain that mechanical advantage.
  • Planetary Gearheads Key to Advances in Medical Applications (.pdf)
    Micron gearheads are used widely across a huge range of engineering sectors in order to provide efficient, accurate and reliable gear reduction. Since the development of the true planetary gearhead by Micron, however, interest has spread into the medical devices sector. So much so that they are now
  • Reduction of Hot Oil Carry-Over in High Speed Running Turbo Application Bearings
    Tilting pad journal bearings are used in turbo machines like turbo compressors, turbo gears, gas turbines and steam turbines. By increasing the power density, the applied loads and velocities have been increased simultaneously over the last decades.
  • New Universal Drive Sets Turnaround Records
    take as little as 24 hours. Additionally, Philadelphia Gear engineered its versatile new UCT drive to replace virtually any brand cooling tower drive. The quick turnaround times are primarily due to the fact that the main gear set is not touched after it is manufactured and stocked. Only the smaller
  • Gearbox Preventative Maintenance is a Priority
    clean and free of foreign materials, and maintaining a sufficient supply of lubricant. Selecting the correct lubricant will depend upon the gear type, load, speed, operating temperatures, input power and reduction ratio. Lubrication problems can cause several gear problems. Scoring and galling
  • Replacing a Mechanical Adjustable Speed Drive with a Variable Speed Drive
    motor is connected to a variable diameter sheave (item A in Figure 1) that transmits power through a belt to another variable diameter sheave (Item B). An internal gearbox can then be used to further reduce speed as necessary. The variable sheave/belt assembly will act as a reduction gear up
  • Automated (Robotic) Manual Transmissions
    Driven by the need to provide the functions of an automatic transmission, along with weight reduction and higher efficiency, many manufacturers are considering conversion of traditional manual transmissions to robotically position gears either via program control or an operator on demand. Actuators
