The terms “rotary cutter gearbox,” “rotary mower gearbox,” and “rotary tiller gearbox” generally refer to different items, although there may be some overlap in their design and functionality. A rotary cutter gearbox is typically used in a rotary cutter, which is a type of mowing equipment used to clear grass, brush, and small trees from fields...

Power take-offs (PTOs) are mechanical gears used to connect to truck transmission apertures and transmit engine power to auxiliary components, most frequently a hydraulic pump. Think of wreckers, garbage trucks, and dump trucks when picturing how the hydraulic flow produced by the pump is subsequently directed to cylinders and/or hydraulic motors...

Whether you are in the manufacturing industry or are simply looking for a way to increase productivity, hydraulic cylinders can help you perform your tasks more efficiently. There are many different types of hydraulic cylinders available, all with different features. A common hydraulic cylinder has a piston rod that is used to transmit power from...

A taper bush is a standard type of conical bushing used to secure wheels, pulleys, shaft couplings, and more. They are typically manufactured from cast iron and are available in both imperial and metric sizes. Depending on the application, they may be used with a wide variety of shafts.A taper bush is made by utilizing several screws or bolts...

A helical gearbox uses a worm wheel with teeth on the perimeter to transmit rotational energy. The teeth are made of SAE 8620 Case Hardening Steel, and the pinions are made of EN 353 Case Hardening Steel. They are machined on a Gear Hobbing Machine and are then surface-ground to tight tolerances on a Teeth Profile Grinder. The output shaft is...

A gear rack is a mechanical device that is used for transferring rotary motion to linear motion. It is often compared to a ball screw because of its high load carrying capacity and large length. However, gear racks have some disadvantages, such as backlash. Ball screws, on the other hand, have a lower backlash but are limited in length because of...

A chain is a movable assembly made up of a set of linked elements, called links. In a chain, each link is interleaved with the next one, forming an endless chain assembly. A chain may also be made of a single link set that extends across the width of the chain, or of several interleaved links.The present invention provides a chain with a special...

To choose the right pulley for your application, you must know what to look for and how to measure it. The distance from the centerline of the pulley to the outside edge of its bore is known as the offset. This distance is measured from the centerline of the pulley's V, which is usually the edge of the hub. The frontside offset is much longer...

Spiral bevel gears are beveled gears that frequently have their axes cross at a 90-degree angle. The teeth have an involute contour with a mild lengthening curve. Despite having no offsets, they can nevertheless be referred to as hypoid gears. Power transmission through a right angle is frequently done using spiral bevel gears. They may be made...

A power take-off (PTO) is a mechanical gearbox that attaches to perforations on truck transmissions and functions as essentially an addition to a vehicle's drivetrain. Snowplows, winches, blowers, hoists, vacuum pumps, cranes, and lifts are just a few examples of auxiliary equipment that can be powered by a vehicle's engine through the usage of...
