The design and specifications of customized gears involve multiple key elements, which together determine the performance, lifespan, and application effectiveness of the gears. Here are some key elements:

Tooth shape selection:

Choose the appropriate tooth profile according to application requirements, such as straight teeth, helical teeth, herringbone teeth, spiral teeth, etc.

Modulus:

Modulus is a fundamental parameter in gear design, representing the ratio of gear pitch to pi, which affects the load-bearing capacity and size of the gear.

Number of teeth:

The number of teeth affects the gear speed ratio and transmission smoothness, and needs to be determined according to application requirements.

Pressure angle:

The pressure angle is the angle between the gear tooth surface and the normal, which affects the contact strength and transmission efficiency of the gear.

Gear material:

Select appropriate materials such as steel, cast iron, plastic, etc., as well as corresponding heat treatment processes based on the working environment of the gear.

Accuracy level:

The accuracy level affects the transmission accuracy and smoothness of gears, and needs to be determined according to application requirements.

Gear hardness:

The hardness of gears affects their wear resistance and fatigue resistance, and the required hardness is usually achieved through heat treatment.

Surface Treatment

Select appropriate surface treatment methods based on the usage environment of the gear, such as coating, painting, etc., to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

Gear size:

The size of gears (such as outer diameter, inner diameter, width, etc.) needs to be designed according to installation space and application requirements.

Gear shaft hole:

The size and fitting method of the gear shaft hole need to be determined according to the design of the shaft.

Gear keyway:

The design of keyways needs to consider the size, type, and installation method of the keys.

Gearbox coordination:

The fitting dimensions between gears and gearboxes need to be precisely designed to ensure the installation and positioning of the gears.

Bearing capacity of gears:

Design the size and material of gears based on their expected load and service life.

Gear noise and vibration:

When designing, it is necessary to consider the noise and vibration performance of gears to reduce the impact on mechanical equipment.

Lubrication of gears:

Choose the appropriate lubrication method and lubricant based on the speed and load of the gears.

In the design and specification process of gear customization, manufacturers usually work closely with customers to ensure that the gear design meets specific application requirements. After the design is completed, detailed calculations and simulations are needed to ensure the performance and reliability of the gears.
