Turbine gears are usually used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The types of gears used in turbines include helical gears and Worm turbine gears. The materials which are usually used include Cast iron, Steel, Aluminium, etc.
Gearboxes are commonly used in windmills to connect the wind turbine to the generator. The gearbox helps in converting the low speed, high torque of the turbine into a high speed, low torque output for the generator.
Helical Gears are cylindrical gears with helicoid teeth. The angled teeth of these gears result in a gentler engagement, resulting in the gears running quieter and smoother.
Planetary Gear systems consists of one or more outer planet gears revolving around a sun gear. The planet gears are usually mounted to a movable arm which then rotates relative to the sun gear.
The rack gear is a linear shaped gear which can mesh with a spur gear. The pinion gear is a cylindrical gear which engages the teeth of the Rack gear. Together, the Rack and Pinion Gear converts the rotational motion applied to the pinion into linear motion, like turning the wheel of a car to move left or right.
They are cylindrical gears with teeth arranged parallel to their axis. They are the most common type of gears available.
Sun gear is typically a central mounted circular gear around which the planetary gears rotate.
They are cylindrical gears with teeth arranged parallel to their axis. They are the most common type of gears available.
The worm shaft is a cylindrical gear with meshes along the diameter, resembling a screw thread. The worm wheel is a helical gear designed to envelope the worm shaft. A Worm gear system offers a very large gear ratio in a single thread
