Gear Component sub-categories
A gear bearing is a mechanical device integrating the functions of a gear and a bearing. It consists of an inner ring, outer ring, rolling elements, and a gear structure. The rolling elements reduce friction for smooth rotation like a regular bearing, while the gear part transmits torque by meshing with other gears. Gear bearings are widely used in automotive transmissions, industrial machinery, etc. Their compact design saves space and simplifies mechanical systems, enhancing overall efficiency and performance in various applications.
