Product Details
Gear customization is a service that designs and manufactures gears based on specific needs. Here are some key information about gear customization:
Customization process
Requirements communication: Customers communicate with manufacturers to clarify the usage scenarios, working conditions (such as speed, load, working environment, etc.), transmission requirements (transmission ratio, accuracy level, etc.), and other special requirements (such as appearance, material characteristics, etc.) of the gears.
Design Calculation: Manufacturers conduct gear design calculations based on customer needs, determine the basic parameters of the gear, such as module, number of teeth, pressure angle, tooth width, helix angle, etc., and perform strength checks to confirm that the gear can meet usage requirements. At the same time, use computer-aided design (CAD) software to draw two-dimensional drawings and three-dimensional models of gears Material selection: Choose the appropriate material based on the working conditions and performance requirements of the gear. Common materials include high-quality carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, copper alloy, and engineering plastics. For some gears with special requirements, such as those working in high temperature and corrosive environments, special alloy materials or surface treatments may need to be selected Processing and Manufacturing: Gear manufacturing is carried out using corresponding processing techniques based on design drawings and selected materials. Common processing methods include gear hobbing, gear hobbing, gear shaving, and gear grinding. For gears with suitable precision, multiple machining processes and meticulous measurements may be required to protect the accuracy and quality of the gears. At the same time, heat treatment such as quenching, carburizing, nitriding, etc. should be carried out on the gears as needed to improve their hardness, strength, and performance Surface treatment: In order to improve the corrosion resistance (based on actual reports), performance, and lubrication performance of gears, surface treatment such as hard chrome plating, zinc plating, phosphating, blackening, etc. may be necessary. In addition, coating techniques such as spraying lubricating coatings such as polytetrafluoroethylene can also be used to reduce the friction coefficient of gears, minimize wear and noise Quality inspection: During and after the manufacturing process, strict quality inspection must be carried out on the gears. The testing items include the accuracy indicators of gears (such as tooth profile error, tooth profile error, cumulative circumferential error, etc.), dimensional accuracy, surface roughness, hardness, and mechanical properties of materials. By using meticulous measuring instruments such as coordinate measuring instruments, gear measuring centers, etc., it is confirmed that the various indicators of the gear meet the design requirements Assembly and packaging: Assemble customized gears with other related components to form a complete transmission device or product. Then package the assembled products for transportation and storage. The packaging method is usually selected based on the characteristics of the product and customer requirements. Generally, wooden boxes, cardboard boxes, or plastic films are used as packaging materials to ensure that the product is not damaged during transportation
