Internal Gear Application

The main applications of internal gears are in rollers, indexing, timing and other light duty applications. They are used as tools for
creating solid models of drive components.Features of Internal Gear:

Internal gears are hollow. The properties and teeth shape is similar as of external gears except that the internal gear had different addendum and dedendum values modified to prevent interference in internal meshes. They are designed to accommodate a wide range of equipment. These are ideal and cost effective. The teeth are cut into the inside diameter while the outside diameter is smooth. These gears are available only in brass. Internal gear offers low sliding and high stress loading. They are used in planetary gears to produce large reduction ratios.
