The innovative gear wheel
Gears have been around for hundreds of years but have essentially looked and functioned exactly the same. And to manage higher forces you basically just increase size of gear so that the total contact surface increased.
But there's a drawback to this solution, increase size of gear wheel increases weight and thereby the inertia. Adding more gear wheels on the same rack leads to an overdetermined system resulting in unequal load sharing. To assemble such a system would be a challenge in itself!
Superior acceleration
Smaller gears with less built-in inertia allow for rapid acceleration and deacceleration.
Safe from shock loads
The built-in flex saves cdGear systems from wear and damage.
No backlash
CdGear systems combine flex without generating any backlash.
Equalized load distribution
With equal load distribution amongst multiple pinions, wear and tear on engaging surfaces are reduced, increasing gear life.
No overshoot
Electrical actuators eliminate the problem of moving past the target position and then having to reverse. Our actuators hit the target position directly every time.
