The automatic lubrication system is connected to a control system via switchs. The control system may involve human input or may be computerised (computer numerical control or CNC). [2] [3] There are advantages of using an automatic lubrication system over a manual system. For example, there are savings in the costs of human resources. The ...
The module is the measure of gear tooth size which is normally used for metric system gears. It is similar to the Diametral Pitch (DP), which is commonly used for UK system (inch measure) gears but they differ in the units used and in that they bear a reciprocal relationship. Module is the pitch circle diameter divided by the number of teeth.
As usual, the forward helical cut gears are synchronized. However, the reverse gear operates through a fully synchronized constant-mesh system. The TR-6060 contains removable wear pads on the shift forks, and uses aluminum alloys for the main case, extension housing, and clutch housing. It is a double overdrive transmission.
A harmonic gear or strain wave gear is a specialized gearing mechanism often used in industrial motion control, robotics and aerospace for its advantages over traditional gearing systems, including lack of backlash, compactness and high gear ratios. Though the diagram does not demonstrate the correct configuration, it is a "timing gear ...
A lubrication system serves to ensure lubrication of the bearings and gears and to maintain sufficiently cool temperatures, mostly by eliminating friction. The lubricant can also be utilized to cool other parts such as walls and other structural members directly via targeted oil flows.
A split housing is like a walnut shell, the housing is divided in two parts, with a lower part that ties down the Gear Box to the structure, supports all the components during the assembly stage and holds the lubrication oil; and the upper part that completes the enclosure and provides mechanical integrity to the housing. The upper and lower ...
In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash, play, or slop, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or motion to the next part in mechanical sequence."
In 1921, US government lubrication specifications were drawn up to facilitate the purchase of oil by the government. [9] Representatives from the government, SAE, and the American Petroleum Institute met in 1922, [13] resulting in SAE adopting a specification for 10 grades of oil in March 1923. [11] [9] This specification was not adopted for ...
