Customize Non Standard Steel Aluminum Stainless Steel Iron Copper Alloy Gears
Non standard gears are relative to standard gears, and their design, manufacturing, and application do not follow national or industry standards. The modulus, pressure angle, tooth top height coefficient, backlash coefficient, and root fillet radius coefficient of standard gears are clearly defined, while non-standard gears may have different parameters.
Non standard gears are typically used in specific mechanical equipment or products to meet specific transmission or functional requirements. Due to the particularity of non-standard gears, their design, manufacturing, and testing processes may require more customization and professionalism.
When selecting and using non-standard gears, it is necessary to fully consider their performance, reliability, lifespan, and compatibility with other components. At the same time, in order to ensure the quality and performance of non-standard gears, it is necessary to choose gear manufacturers or suppliers with professional capabilities and experience for cooperation.
Common gear materials include carbon steel, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, cast iron, and copper alloy. Here is a brief introduction to these materials:
Carbon steel: Carbon steel is one of the most common gear materials, with high strength and hardness, and relatively low price. Carbon steel can achieve appropriate hardness and improve its wear resistance through heat treatment. However, carbon steel has lower corrosion resistance and is prone to rusting in humid or corrosive environments.
Aluminum alloy: Aluminum alloy gears have a lighter weight and good thermal conductivity, which can improve transmission efficiency. In addition, aluminum alloys also have good corrosion resistance and reliable durability.
Stainless steel: Stainless steel is an alloy material with good corrosion resistance, commonly used in gear manufacturing that requires high corrosion resistance. Stainless steel has high strength and hardness, and its mechanical properties can be further improved through heat treatment.
Cast iron: Cast iron is a commonly used gear material with high strength and hardness, and is relatively inexpensive. Cast iron gears can further improve their hardness and wear resistance through heat treatment.
Copper alloy: Copper alloy gears have good thermal conductivity and wear resistance, and have good impact resistance in high-speed and high load environments. In addition, copper alloys have high strength and hardness, making them suitable for various working conditions.
The process of customizing gears involves multiple key steps and parameter considerations, as follows:
Determine gear type: Firstly, it is necessary to clarify whether the gear is spur or helical. Straight tooth gears have strong load-bearing capacity and can withstand large torques, but may produce significant noise during high-speed operation. Helical gears have the characteristics of high overlap, smooth transmission, and low noise, making them more suitable for high-speed operation, but may generate axial force.
Determine modulus and number of teeth: modulus and number of teeth are two important parameters in gear design. Under the same number of teeth, the larger the modulus, the larger the size of the gear. Similarly, under the same modulus, the more teeth there are, the larger the size of the gear. When selecting, it is necessary to determine the appropriate gear size based on the load situation.
Determine gear accuracy: The accuracy of a gear has a significant impact on its performance and lifespan. Normally, the unified accuracy of gears is level 6, but specific accuracy requirements need to be determined based on actual application scenarios.
Determine aperture size and tolerance: The aperture size and tolerance of gears are also important parameters to consider in the customization process. If the gear needs to be installed in conjunction with the shaft, the size and tolerance of the shaft need to be provided. Meanwhile, different installation methods (such as top thread installation or hot fitting) can also affect the tolerances between the hole shafts.
Consider other parameters: In addition to the basic parameters mentioned above, it may also be necessary to determine other parameters based on specific output methods and design requirements, such as parameters for special situations such as flange output and hollow shaft output.
Design drawings and sample confirmation: Based on the determined parameters and design requirements, draw the design drawings of the gears and make samples for actual testing. Ensure that the customized gears meet the actual usage requirements through testing and verification.
