- Parallel Gear Drives
A parallel gear drive, also known as a parallel shaft gear drive, is a type of gear mechanism where the input and output shafts are aligned parallel to each other. This configuration is commonly used to transmit power between shafts that run in the same direction.
Advantages:
- Smooth Operation: Helical gears used in parallel drives provide smooth and quiet operation.
- High Load Capacity: Capable of handling significant loads and stress.
- Compact Design: Efficient use of space due to parallel shaft arrangement.
Typical Use Cases:
- Conveyor Systems: To transfer power between parallel shafts.
- Industrial Machinery: Where alignment and load handling are critical.
- Pumps and Fans: Often used in systems where space and alignment are essential.
