The PK/PM 22 Series of planetary gears feature a revised gear design with optimized noise behavior, improved efficiency and a new rigid flange design. The PM 22 has a steel internal ring gear with an ...

From a load-capacity point of view, the most suitable gearhead ratio has the highest torque density for the most compact (and cost-effective) package. From an application point of view, the best ...

The choice between helical and spur gears in gearboxes may seem straightforward. Go with helical gears if you want the gearbox to run as smoothly and quietly as possible. Choose spur gears when you ...

ELECTRONICS: Austrian bearing specialist NKE introduces modular bearing systems for planetary gears in wind turbine gearboxes. The new bearing assemblies offer the advantages of a standardisation of ...

Gears come in all shapes and sizes. They are the toothy wonders that make the world go around, and they're incredibly important in the operation of a motor vehicle. There's a more specific type of ...

For folks with high horsepower street cars, the allure of a "clutchless" manual Lenco gearbox—and the cool-looking lightning-rod shifters—is pretty clear, but historically, the cost has been ...

Gears provide two main functions in motion-control systems. In power systems, they match the relatively low-speed, high-torque requirement of the load to the high-speed, low-torque, high-efficiency ...
