GEAR TECHNOLOGY

Advantages of Gear Technology

The advantages of gear technology over other transmission means are:

• Gear technology gives positive drives and constancy of speed ratio without any slippage
  
  
• In Gear technology, the drive is very compact due to short centre distances in such drives.
  
  
• Gear technology has high efficiency, service, and simple operation.
  
  
• Gear technology drives are capable of driving loads subjected to shock at speeds up to 20 m/s
  
  
• Maintenance of gear technology drives is inexpensive and if properly lubricated and operated, gear drives have the longest service life compared to other drives.
  
  
• Gear technology can be used where precise timing is desired.
  
  
• Gear technology can drive much heavier loads than other drives.
  
  
• Gear drives can be used for a wide range of transmitted power.
