Introduction Pinion gear types can look similar on a drawing, but they behave very differently in real machines. In most gear pairs, a pinion is the gear with fewer teeth and a smaller outside diameter. A common exception is the miter gear set, where two gears are typically specified as a matched 1:1 pair. This […]

What Types of Precision Gears Are There?

Types of Precision Gears

1. Introduction When people talk about precision gears, they usually mean gears that run accurately, repeatably and reliably under demanding conditions. These gears are used where backlash, noise, torque capacity and lifetime all matter, not just in simple, low-duty mechanisms. As a precision gear manufacturer and custom gear supplier, Wenlio Gear focuses on bevel and cylindrical […]
