A bevel gear is a conical gear used to transmit rotational power between shafts that intersect, typically at 90 degrees. The tapered shape of bevel gears, in contrast to spur gears, allows them to change torque: the larger the driven gear, the more output torque

The synchronizer systems of heavy-duty transmissions work by applying torque with high loads, frequent cycle shifting and thermal shifts. They are designed to equalize the speed of rotating parts prior to engagement, which minimizes shift shock and tooth wear. The cone ring, and more specifically the synchronizer

Sintered silicon nitride (SSN) is a high-performance structural ceramic material. It has a low density and a significantly high level of thermal-shock resistance, wear resistance, and good fracture toughness. As a result, components manufactured with SSN support reliable performance in environments including rapid temperature cycling,

Powder metallurgy (PM) is commonly used to manufacture key components of electric motors, including traction motor parts, because it helps engineers achieve the efficiency and tight tolerances required in EV applications. By adjusting alloy composition and controlling powder characteristics, PM enables the desired mechanical strength

A synchronizer sleeve, also known as a sliding sleeve, is a precision-engineered axial coupling component within a manual transmission synchronizer assembly. Synchronization sleeve works with the synchronizer hub and baulk (or blocker) ring to match the rotational speeds of the shaft and the selected gear

Sintered gears, also referred to as powder metal gears, are manufactured by the powder metallurgy (PM) process. They have near-net-shape geometry and precise tooth profiles, which are important for efficient torque transmission in mechanical systems. Sintered gears are produced using iron-based alloys and other nickel

A crankshaft pulley is mounted on the end of the crankshaft and drives the engine’s accessory systems through a serpentine or V-belt. Most pulleys are built with a harmonic damper to absorb torsional vibration. The design usually includes an inner hub fixed to the crankshaft,

Powder metallurgy (PM) is widely applied in agricultural machinery, where components must endure heavy loads, abrasive conditions, and limited lubrication. The process combines near-net-shape forming, design flexibility, and cost advantages for mass production. Sinter-hardening and carburizing improve surface durability, while oil impregnation imparts self-lubricating properties.

Modern internal combustion engines operate in a wide range of speeds and loads. That’s why they require both power and efficiency. However, fixed valve timing makes it difficult to achieve because at high engine speeds it limits the timing of intake and exhaust valve events,
