Ondrives launches titanium precision gear range
Ondrives has launched a range of titanium precision spur gears into its latest power transmission catalogue. This is just one of an extensive new range of power transmission products made specially for this catalogue.
Marketing Manager Amanda Laughton states: "We are constantly updating our gear range in order to make them as extensive as possible, offering customers more choice than ever in terms of materials, types and sizes."
Titanium has been chosen by Ondrives as it has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant material with a silver colour making it pleasing to the eye where applications deem it necessary. The two most useful properties of the metal are it's corrosion-resistance and the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. Unalloyed, titanium is as strong as some steels, but 45% lighter in weight making it ideal for lightweight applications.
The titanium precision spur gear range is one that Ondrives is especially proud of in terms of the quality and finish of the product when making prototypes. They start at 0.5 Module going up to 1.5 as standard for now. Larger sizes are planned for the future where customers find they need them. All are made to Quality Grade 7e DIN 58405 (AGMA Q11) with other grades available on request. Teeth numbers start at 20 going up to 250 and different bore sizes, tapped holes, pin holes and keyways are all optional extras available where required.
Ondrives are happy to quote to customers' special requirements where necessary and offer a free technical advice service on a no-obligation basis.
