EasternGear's Successful Exhibition in Tokyo!

Participation in Manufacturing World [Tokyo] ! 🎉

Warm Greetings from EasternGear!

From the 19th to the 21st of June 2024, EasternGear participated in the Manufacturing World Tokyo at Tokyo Big Sight. We proudly showcased gear sets of various sizes, with center distances ranging from 17mm (0.67 inches) to 135mm (5.3 inches).

Visitors to our booth were highly impressed by the versatility and reliability of these innovative gears, which represent a significant advancement in efficiency and precision for mechanical power transmission. To facilitate a closer examination of the gear sets, we provided magnifying glasses, allowing attendees to scrutinize the wheel teeth and shaft threads.

The event provided an excellent platform to share our expertise with fellow industry professionals and enthusiasts.

We are grateful for the enthusiastic response from all who visited our booth and for the opportunity to connect with our industry peers. Our commitment to innovation and precision in mechanical engineering continues to drive our efforts. We look forward to future endeavors and collaborations that will further enhance our contributions to the field. Thank you for your continued support and interest in EasternGear.

Putting Efficiency into Motion

A gear set is a part of a moving machine or device and a key component that enables the transmission of torque and speed.

At EasternGear, we strive to create products with performance that sets us apart and higher efficiency based on innovative ideas and technology rather than standardized products. We provides design, processing, manufacturing, and testing of all gears, but we specialize in globoid worm gears.

We are a technology, development and engineering company that provides one-stop services for all industries.

What are Worm Gears?

A worm gear set consists of a screw-shaped worm or shaft and a gear wheel. This set is specifically used to reduce speed and amplify torque. Worm gears are used in various different industrial fields. They have many advantages such as having a structure that is relatively easy to produce, self-locking properties, and increased space efficiency.

One of the downsides is that they have fewer engagement points between the worm thread and wheel teeth, which can lead to increased heat generation and a higher risk of premature breakage and damage.

Non-parallel, non-intersecting axis
The meshing of surfaces in the form of point or line contact
Less contact surface

An example of the damage incurred:

Fracturing of tooth
Worn out and thinning of teeth

What are Globoid Worm Gears?

Similar to normal worm gears, globoid worm gears provide a high gear ratio but have a seemingly simple yet challenging-to-produce structure. Globoid worm gears can push higher outputs and are more precise compared to regular cylindrical worm gears. Their structure involves more engagement and continuous sliding contact, resulting in efficient transmission, reduced heat generation, and has a higher resistance to sudden and momentary weight or impact.

High Efficiency, High Output

Structure has higher gear teeth engagement between the wheel and the worm
Increased efficiency through simultaneous surface contact area
Approximately 10% higher efficiencies than regular worm gears

Reduced in Size, Increased Resistance

Better transfer of energy due to more engagement of teeth while also reducing the dimensions of the gear set
Enhanced durability and impact resistance attributed to simultaneous surface contact
