According to the invention, when a plurality of radial ribs are formed integrally with the web of a spur gear for the sake of rigidity thereof, the same rigidity as that of heretofore known gears can be assured while increasing the size accuracy of gear in comparison with the usual gears by locating the ribs with outer ends thereof opposed to the base of corresponding teeth.

A gear includes a gear body which includes a rim integral with a plurality of teeth at an outer peripheral surface thereof, and a boss disposed concentrically inside the rim. The gear further includes at least fitting section which is formed from a material having a low hardness and a low flexural strength as compared with a material for forming the gear body, and which is provided between the rim and the boss, so that the gear with a rotational-power transmitting member fitted into the fitting ...

A gear having good fatigue strength and corrosion resistance has a body with gear teeth formed of a hot isostatically pressed alloy powder. The alloy is cobalt based and consists of 10 to 35 wt % Cr, 0-22 wt % Ni, 0-20 wt % W, 0-20 wt % Fe, 0-10 wt % V, 0-10 wt % Mo, 0-6 wt % Nb, 0-3 wt % Si, 0-3 wt % C, 0-3 wt % B and 0-1 wt % Mn, the balance, apart from impurities, being cobalt.

A gear is provided with double rows of teeth having the same pitch circle, which are deviated from each other in the circumferential direction. The gear can be mutually engaged with another counterpart identical with no backlash between the meshed teeth, whereby a rotary motion can be efficiently and smoothly transmitted between the rotating gears engaged without involving vibrations and noises.

A gear comprises a hub and a gear ring mounted thereon, each formed with peripherally spaced apertures and interlocking elements extending peripherally between adjacent apertures to hold the hub and gear ring against axial movement relative to each other. The apertures of the hub and gear ring register. Torque is transmitted between the hub and gear ring by a plurality of first abutments on the hub which have radially outwardly facing surfaces adjoining respective apertures therein, a plurality ...

A composite gear of metal and plastic is provided and specifically a composite ring gear for a cement mixer. The ring gear for rotating the mixing drum of a cement mixer is commonly formed by stamping teeth in a metal flange circumjacent an intermediate portion of the mixing drum. Such gears have been noisy and lack impact resistance. The new ring gear comprises a metal flange to which is affixed a plurality of arcuate gear segments of a plastic material having gear teeth formed therein. The tee...

A gear comprises two co-operating gear wheels (1,2), one (2) of which, in operation, performing a conical pendulating movement (nutation). One gear wheel (2) is non-rotationally connected to an adjacent element (8) by resilient elongated members (9), preferably extending mainly in the circumferential direction of the gear wheel between two supports (10,11) arranged diametrically on the gear wheel and two supports (12,13) arranged diametrically on the adjacent element and offset about 90.degree. ...

A gear, chiefly for use in timepieces, acoustic devices and like precision apparatus, is made of an elastic material and comprises teeth alternately arranged in two rows, that is, a front and rear row and axially positioned away from one another. Each of the teeth has a leg extending from the main body of the gear and a meshing portion integral with the outer end of the leg and engageable with another gear with which it is adapted to mesh. The legs of each two adjacent teeth in each of the front...

To provide a gear having high strength and high dimension precision. A cut material is heated in an anti-oxidation atmosphere. Then, a form including gear teeth and having a nearly completed shape is formed from the upset material at one time by hot forging. The form undergoes gear grinding, whereby a finished product is obtained. The form has a curved surface previously formed at a corner along a tooth trace of a tooth flank.

A relatively simple gear-forming process is disclosed, which enables the production of a set of gears that is especially useful for a particular type of gear pump, and which also produces a set of gears which operates with a high degree of rolling contact. The gears are produced by first forming an initial cutter gear having teeth with cylindrical tips supported by narrow supports, and using this initial cutter on a gear shaper to cut a first gear having bullet-shaped teeth. The first gear can t...
