兰州交通大学毕业设计(论文)1 Gears and gear drive Gears are the most durable and rugged of all mechanical drives
They can transmit high power at efficiencies up to 98% and with long service lives
For this reason, gears rather than belts or chains are found in automotive transmissions and most heavy-duty machine drives
On the other hand, gears are more expensive than other drives, especially if they are machined and not made from power metal or plastic
Gear cost increases sharply with demands for high precision and accuracy
So it is important to establish tolerance requirements appropriate for the application
Gears that transmit heavy loads or than operate at high speeds are not particularly expensive, but gears that must do both are costly
Silent gears also are expensive
