Gears

Angle gears for brush cutters and clearing saws

Function

  • The angle gear transforms torque from the engine to the cutting equipment.
  • The ratio of the angle gear gives the cutting equipment the right speed.

Technical requirements

  • Impact resistance.
  • High demands on material.
  • Traceability.
  • Both professional and consumer variants.
  • Long lifetime.

Dimension, Weight and Material

  • Machined parts in high quality steel, alloyed, < Ø70
  • Light metal castings, < 400 g /unit
  • Grease, different types, 5-25 g/unit
  • Bearings, different types.

Production process

  • Die casting in both aluminum and magnesium.
  • Machining of die casted parts.
  • Machining of steel parts.
  • Manufacturing of gear sets with conical spiral gears.
  • Heat treatment, both trough and case hardened.
  • Assembly of complete units.
  • High demands on backlash and tolerances on assembled units.
  • Surface treatment, manganese phosphate and others.
