Gear Types Used in Packaging Machines
Packaging systems require various gear types, each with a specific role in optimizing motion and force:
- Spur Gears: Simplest type, ideal for parallel shafts and consistent speed.
- Helical Gears: Quiet, smooth operation, ideal for high-speed packaging machines.
- Bevel Gears: Used for shaft alignment at angles, such as rotary tables.
- Worm Gears: Provide high torque at low speed, used in lifting or precise rotation applications.
