Gears are nothing but rotating machine parts having cut teeth which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque. Gears transfer torque and motion or set mechanical motion in action through the engagement of other gears, a shaft or a series of parts.
Gear applications are quite diverse and highly customizable; they appear anywhere that an application requires speed reduction, speed increase, power transmission, motion transmission or force reduction.
Most often, industrial gear applications appear in industries including: automotive, aviation, railway, transportation and food production. They can be found in: cars and trucks, gear motors, bicycles, motorcycles, airplanes, belt pulley systems and more.To increase or reduce shaft rotational speed, manufacturers join differently sized gears and to improve the working life of gear systems, gears generally use some form of lubrication. Gearsare made from number of materials, depending on their application requirements mostly metals or hard plastics. Some common types include: spur gears, gear sprockets, planetary gears, bevel gears, spline gears, helical gears, rack and pinion spur gears, worm gears and differential gears.
Increasing requirement for efficient energy gearbox and clean energy sources are driving the growth of the market along with increasing automation in manufacturing technology. The gear market is segmented on the basis of type into planetary, helical, bevel, spur, worm, and others. The planetary gearbox segment is the fastest growing segment by type in the market because of the vast application of this type of gearbox in wind turbines, steel plants, and various industries such as food and beverage, mining, and cement. These gearboxes are used in a wide range of applications such as port lifting equipment, mixers, pressure feeder, defuser, and crystallizer. With the growing food and beverage industry, mining and cement industry, the growth for the planetary gearboxes is on the rise.
The helical and planetary gearboxes, which hold the substantial share of the market, are manufactured using the parallel axis design. Thus, the parallel axis segment is expected to hold the largest market share.
The market has been segmented on the basis of end-user into wind power, cement & aggregate, chemical, rubber & plastic, construction, food & beverage, marine, material handling, metals & mining, power generation, recreational vehicle, transport industry, agriculture, automotive, and others.
