When it comes to mechatronic actuators and robotic gearing systems, gears are more than mechanical components, they are translators between control logic and motion. They convert the digital output of a servo or motor into precise, reliable movement. From industrial robotic arms to surgical robots, the quality of your gears...
Within the world of modern engineering, the line between mechanical systems and intelligent automation continues to blur. As an engineer who has spent years working with precision gears and automated systems, I’ve witnessed firsthand how the evolution of mechatronics has transformed robotics and reshaped the way we design, build, and...
Common Types of Industrial Gearboxes The five most common kinds of industrial gearboxes are outlined here. Covalo Industries specializes in the design and manufacture of gear systems and we are more then willing to support you with your next project. Helical Gearbox Helical gears are a type of cylindrical gear with teeth that are...
Fundamentals of Gearbox Design Gearbox design is a complex engineering process that involves selecting and arranging gears to transmit power from one rotating component (like a motor or engine) to another. Gearboxes are widely used in mechanical systems to alter the speed, torque, and direction of motion. The design of a...
Exploring Forged Carbon Fiber: Versatile, Cost-Effective, and Lightweight Carbon fiber is one of the most sought-after materials in industries ranging from aerospace to automotive, thanks to its impressive strength-to-weight ratio. However, traditional carbon fiber, made from long continuous fibers, can be expensive and challenging to mold into complex shapes. Enter chopped...
Involute Spline Applications When the application is properly selected, an involute spline is reliable and robust elements of power drive systems. Let’s take a deeper look into the involute spline and the preliminary aspects of designing a spline driven gearbox. What is an involute spline? An involute spline is an external spur gear...
The Idler Gear How to effectively incorporate an idler gear into a gear train. The idler gear is a well-known gear used within machines, but it has been found to be a misunderstood component as well. What is an Idler gear? Idler gears are located between a driving gear and a driven gear...
Linear Actuator Design Knowing how to develop a durable linear actuator through detailed lead screw design is vital. One important aspect of designing a linear actuator is the lead screw. Electric linear actuators consist of three key mechanical components: lead screw and nut, gear train, and the electric motor. Within this...
Over the years, 3D printing technology has been increasingly popular in manufacturing industries and design-engineering. As the engineering industry progresses, it can be anticipated that more 3D printing and 3D printed metal gears will be widely available for production. Therefore, it is important for manufacturing engineers and teams to understand...
Cutting precision gears is no easy feat, and that’s why wire electrical discharge machine cutting (EDM) is so specialized and sought after for gear cutting. Just over the last ten years, gear cutting via wire EDM has become increasingly popular for machining helical gears and gear components. It is a...
