Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are some common questions about Other Gears products, answered in detail to assist with your selection process.
What materials are best for high-temperature applications?
For environments exceeding 200°C, we recommend gears made from heat-treated alloy steel or specialty materials like Inconel. These offer superior thermal stability and resistance to deformation.
How do I determine the correct module for my gear system?
The module is calculated based on the pitch diameter and number of teeth. Generally, smaller modules (e.g., 0.5-2) are for precision instruments, while larger modules (e.g., 5-10) suit heavy machinery. Consult our engineering team for custom calculations.
Are custom gear designs available?
Yes, we provide fully customizable gear solutions. Submit your specifications including dimensions, material preferences, and application details, and we will manufacture gears to exact requirements, with prototypes available for testing.
What maintenance is required for Other Gears products?
Regular lubrication with appropriate oils or greases is essential to minimize wear. For corrosive environments, select gears with protective finishes. Inspect gears periodically for signs of pitting or fatigue, especially in high-load applications.
Do you offer international shipping and support?
We ship globally with logistics partners to ensure timely delivery. Technical support is available via email or phone, providing assistance with installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance guidance.
How does gear accuracy affect performance?
Higher accuracy grades (e.g., AGMA 5-7) reduce noise, vibration, and increase efficiency in precision systems. Lower grades (e.g., AGMA 10-12) are cost-effective for less critical applications. Choose based on your tolerance requirements.
