Types of GearBoxes
Bevel Gears- There are two types of bevel gearboxes available; straight bevel which is used in doing works that require slow speed because of their unique teeth which are tapered and are straight in shape and the spiral bevel, on the other hand, have a curved like shaped teeth which are oblique for better application of work that require much power and speed in their performances.
A the bevel gear is made from different materials.
Helical Gears- If you are looking for a gear that you will use for cutting through some of cutting edges then a gear that is appropriate for you is a helical gear, a gear that has special features that can make it to work through out in a much smooth manner and with no sound produced by it, unlike other gears available.
Because of their special feature, a gearbox that is made from helical are applicable to work from high power spread machines.
They are made from various kinds of steels that include iron and aluminum.
Spur Gears- Another type of gearbox is a spur box which is made up of a parallel shaft with teeth arranged to it in a straight line making it produce much noise as their teeth collides making it to worn out very quickly.
This sort of apparatus is produced using plastic, steel or even metal which come in different size and their rigging proportions giving clients a modest opportunity to look at the sort of speed that they need for work effectiveness.
Planetary gearbox- Adding on to the list of different kinds of gearbox available, we have the planetary gearbox that is retracted from the solar planet term, a gear that is made up of three main parts of the levers that is; sun gear, planetary gear or the ring gear, parts that work together to enable efficiency if the gear.
The same as the above gearboxes available, a planetary gearbox is made of the same materials as the overhead gear system open.
Worm Gears- There are various benefits of a worm gear, some of the benefits that can be of great significance for any user using this kind of machine; when working with it, cases loud noises would not be experienced, loads that are considered to be high shock loads can easily be withstood.
Another an added advantage of using a worm gearbox is that the gearboxes are made from different types of materials that range from plastic, steel and even iron to it, all of these but just depending on the manufacturers preferences.
Despite the comparison and indifferences, gearbox is mostly made from the same kind of material in mainly all the gears, and their functions are still the same in all gears with the differences between them been quite minimum.
