What is New in Gears?

Today gears have become an integral feature of any industrialised products. Most of the industries ranging from food processing industries to highly advanced robotics the gears are employed everywhere. To keep pace with the developments there has been phenomenal improvement in the type of gears. From the traditional gears made by conventional methods of casting and forging to plastic gears that are made with light but durable materials the gears have traversed quite a long road for itself. After considerable research the gearing industry has now come with gears that whose diameters range from a few millimeters to gears, say for example the girth gears that comes with large diameter. Discussed in this section are few of the latest advancements made in the field of gear technology, that are making the gears more productive and gear making more simple and productive.

Miniature Gears
Miniature gears are very small gears used in small and tiny components. The main task of minature gears is to transfer movements from one component to other and in some cases power too.

Application of Miniature Gears
Miniature gears are used for specialized applications.
