Driven gear, as the name suggests, refers to the gear in a mechanism that receives power.
Typically, it gets its power from the “drive gear” and transmits that power to other parts of the machinery or mechanisms. Gears, also known as cogwheels, transmit power through the meshing of their teeth, a movement that is crucial for countless mechanical devices and equipment. However, this precise process of power transmission cannot be achieved without the right machining techniques.
In the manufacture of gears, relatively soft materials like low carbon steel are often used. Such materials can produce long, continuous chips during cutting, posing risks such as chip entanglement on tools and hindering the proper transport of the workpiece.
Achieving effective chip disposal contributes to the stabilization of the process, maintaining the quality of the driven gear and improving production efficiency. Accurate and efficient machining supports the vital role of the driven gear and is key to maximizing the performance of the entire machine.
