What Are the Top Mistakes to Avoid When Designing Spur Gears?
Designing spur gears isn’t just about tooth geometry—it’s about avoiding costly specification mistakes that inflate manufacturing costs without improving performance. As gear manufacturers, we’ve seen engineers waste budget on unnecessary tight tolerances while overlooking critical factors that actually determine gear life and reliability. The most expensive spur gear mistakes include over-specifying tolerances, undersizing teeth for […]
Debunking 5 Gear Pressure Angle Myths
Engineers often face conflicting advice about gear pressure angles, leading to over-specified designs and unnecessary CNC machining complexity. With decades of experience manufacturing precision gears for aerospace, medical, and industrial sectors, proper pressure angle selection can dramatically reduce both production cost and design risk. Answer Section: Five common gear pressure angle myths persist in design […]
How Spur Gear Size Affects Torque and Speed?
In mechanical design, spur gears are fundamental components that can make or break your system’s performance. Whether you’re developing industrial machinery, robotics, or precision instruments, understanding how gear size influences torque and speed is crucial for achieving optimal results. Spur gear size directly affects both torque and speed through nine key mechanisms: gear ratio, torque […]
