In the world of custom gear manufacturing, teeth are some of the most important parts of our job. Our engineers and equipment focus on cutting teeth precisely, and that means understanding their function in the broader system, and being able to define and describe them correctly. Why Gear Teeth Are Important Teeth are the main …Continued

Gears are a simple machine used in thousands of different applications, from wrist watches to space shuttles, but what do they actually do? Why do we need gear manufacturing to keep our world moving? Gears are significant because they allow us to transfer motion and power in efficient, controllable ways. But what are those ways, …Continued

There are dozens of types of gears, and dozens of types of materials to choose from when making them; that’s why custom gear manufacturing is such a necessary, yet complex industry. For a gear manufacturer like Federal Gear, there are a few main things we need to keep in mind when designing or producing new …Continued

Custom made gears are made from scratch to be used in specific applications. For these jobs, it’s highly important that we maintain a high level of precision; if a gear is cut incorrectly, even if it’s only off a fraction of an inch, it could compromise the gear’s ability to perform its intended function, causing …Continued

定制齿轮有多种形式,世鹏科技电子es, and applications that extend far beyond the conventional spur gear that most people are familiar with. Helical gears, for example, are cylindrical shaped gears with slanted teeth that give them a curved appearance. Advantages of Helical Gears Helical gears’ teeth have a larger contact ratio …Continued

With custom made gears, there’s nearly unlimited potential for engineering applications. Traditional “spur” gears are some of the most common gears we produce, but they represent only a fraction of gears in the market. Worm gears, sometimes called a worm drive, is a special kind of gear that utilizes the movement of two very different …Continued

Gear engineering is about more than making sure two shapes of gears fit together. There are a number of functional considerations gear manufacturers need to bear in mind when designing gears for various applications. In addition to enabling the other components of the machine to operate as intended, we need to ensure the gears can …Continued

There are dozens of types of gears available, but some are more popular than others. For example, you’ve undoubtedly heard of a spur gear, which is the most traditional and recognizable gear in the industry. And even if you can’t picture helical gears or bevel gears by name, you’d recognize them to see them because …Continued

If you know anything about gear manufacturing, you’re probably somewhat familiar with hobbing. But if you’re new to the game, it may sound like a strange term. Hobbing is an important machining process that allows manufacturers like Federal Gear to cut precision gears from raw materials. It’s one of the most widely used techniques for …Continued

Historically, gears have been made from metals, metal alloys, or in some cases, varieties of plastic. Gear materials need to fulfill a wealth of conditions simultaneously, which makes them hard to come by. Materials need to be hard, but also malleable and cuttable to allow precision in the manufacturing process, and also need to be …Continued
