Are the gears round?

There are many types of gears, in addition to round gears, there are also non-circular gears (abnormal gears), umbrella-shaped, rectangular, round bar-shaped and so on.Let's learn about it along with EP processing!

XNUMX. Non-circular gears:

The non-circular gear is a variable transmission ratio gear transmission mechanism, which can achieve special motion and function calculations, which is beneficial to the motion characteristics of the mechanism, can improve the performance of the mechanism, and improve the motion conditions of the mechanism. The indexing surface is not a rotating surface.gear.

After the non-circular gear and another gear form a gear pair, during the meshing process, the instantaneous angular velocity ratio changes according to a certain established law of motion.

XNUMX. Bevel gear:

Also called bevel gear, it can change the transmission direction and is generally used for intersecting shaft gear transmission.

of course,Cylindrical gearIt is the most commonly used product at present, which is a gear transmission mechanism with a fixed transmission ratio.For questions about whether the gears are round, if you have more questions or related needs, you can click on the consultation window on the right side of EP processing for free consultation.
