About Copper Alloy Gear
With extensive experience in the field of automation, Sango has grown into an excellent supplier, which can provide various gearboxes and precision parts. We can provide various gears, which are made from different materials based on the customers' requirements. Copper alloy gear has many outstanding advantages, it is applied in many fields such as automotive industry, aerospace and military industry and industrial machinery,etc.
Feature
Good strength and durability
Copper alloy can improve its strength and hardness by adding elements such as Zn, Sn, Pb, etc., which makes it can withstand higher load and stress. For example, the strength of special aluminum bronze is higher than alloy steel and its hardness is near alloy steel. Special aluminum bronze is widely applied in force structural components and transmission parts, etc., such as the transmission shaft gear of high-speed trains. Copper alloy gear is suitable for transmission situations with high load and high precision, such as industrial machinery, ship equipment, etc.
Excellent wear resistance and friction-reducing property
Copper material has a low surface friction coefficient (about 0.10.2, steel is 0.30.5), it still can maintain lower wear rate when there is a lack of lubrication (self-lubricating property). So, copper alloy gear is suitable for scenarios which is unable to add lubricant frequently. Some copper alloys (such as tin bronze, aluminum bronze) have excellent wear resistance, they can maintain tooth surface flat in the long-term process of friction. Copper alloys can reduce wear and deformation and extend the service life of gears, which is especially suitable for transmission system of frequent start-stop or high-speed operation.
Good corrosion resistance
Copper alloy gear exhibits good corrosion resistance to atmosphere, fresh water, seawater, and certain chemical agent. Copper alloy gear can work stably in harsh environments and reduce gear damage and performance degradation caused by corrosion, which is commonly used in fields such as marine engineering and chemical equipment.
Good Processability
Copper alloy is easy to cut, forge, cast, and weld and the processing technology is mature, so it is convenient for copper alloy to manufacture gears of various shapes and accuracies. Copper alloy gear can meet different design requirements and has lower machining cost.
Non-magnetic properties
Copper alloy is non-magnetic and it is suitable for the situation, which is magnetic sensitive, such as electronic devices, medical equipment, etc. Copper alloy gear can avoid performance issues caused by magnetic interference.
Good thermal conductivity
Copper alloy gear has good thermal conductivity and can quickly dissipate the heat generated during gear transmission. It can prevent performance degradation or damage caused by overheating, especially suitable for transmission systems of high speed and high power.
Good dimensional stability
Copper alloy gear has smaller dimensional changes under different temperatures and humidity conditions. It can guarantee transmission accuracy and stability of gears and transmission errors caused by dimensional changes.
Process
Blank Preparation
Selecting appropriate copper alloy materials (such as tin bronze, aluminum bronze, etc.), and blank is manufactured through casting or forging. Casting blanks are suitable for complex shapes, forging blanks can improve their strength and toughness.
Rough Machining
Removing rough allowance by adopting processes such as turning and milling, preliminarily forming tooth profile and reserving machining allowance.
Heat Treatment
To improve cutting performance and mechanical properties, selecting heat treatment methods based on the characteristics of copper alloys, such as annealing, solution treatment, etc.
Gear Cutting
Giving priority to using generating methods such as hobbing and shaping to process and ensuring tooth profile accuracy. For high-precision gears, additional finishing processes such as gear shaving and gear grinding can be incorporated.
Surface Treatment
Copper alloy gears often adopt surface treatment processes such as chromium plating and nickel plating, improving wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
Fine Machining And Inspection
Performing precision machining and inspection on tooth profile, tooth pitch, surface roughness, etc. Ensuring copper alloy gear meet design requirements.
