Results for tag: "Running Gears"

Within the context of mechanical power transmission, the running gears market encompasses the components and systems integral to the operation of belt and chain drives. Belt drives rely on pulleys and continuous belts to transfer motion and power between rotating shafts. They offer the advantages of smooth operation, low maintenance, and the capacity to handle a variable load profile, making them suitable for a range of applications from small domestic appliances to heavy industrial machinery. In contrast, chain drives employ a series of links or chains, meshing with toothed sprockets to ensure positive transfer of power. They are typically more robust than belt drives and are preferred in applications that require durability, direct power transfer, and the ability to operate in harsh environments. Some well-known companies operating in the running gears market that provide solutions, including belt and chain drives, are Rexnord Corporation, which offers a wide variety of mechanical components for power transmission; The Timken Company, known for manufacturing engineered bearings and power transmission products; Gates Corporation, which specializes in the production of power transmission belts and fluid power products; and Tsubakimoto Chain Co., recognized globally for their chain drive systems and other power transmission components.
