Open or
semi-enclosed gear drives have been a common method of power transmission
since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Open gear drives are
the most economical type of gear drive alternative for use in
applications where high load-carrying capacity and long service life
under severe shock load conditions are required. These characteristics,
in addition to flexibility in the machine�s design, have made open
gear drives the most common type of drive used for ball mills and
grinding mills, kilns, dryers, draglines and shovels. Gears provide a positive non-slip
drive when used to transmit power, change speeds, direction or rotation.
