Stahl Gear & Machine Co.

Worms are used when large gear reductions are required. Many worm gears have a peculiar property that other gear sets don’t have: the worm can turn the gear, but the gear cannot budge the worm. Reason being that the angle on the worm is so shallow that when the gear tries to turn it, the friction between the gear and the worm holds the worm in place. This feature is useful for machinery like conveyor systems, where the locking feature can act as a brake for the conveyor when the motor is not turning. Stahl gear can custom manufacture or repair your worms for almost every application. If you are looking for custom manufacturing services of worms or emergency repairs, just contact us for more information or to schedule your service.

The helical gear offers a refinement over the typical spur gear. The leading edge of each tooth is not parallel to the axis its rotating on. The teeth actually engage gradually. The construction is more mechanically sound. Stahl gear can custom manufacture or repair your cast steel helical gears for almost every application. Stahl Gear & Machine can manufacture helical gears using customer-provided material, or if you prefer, Stahl Gear can supply the necessary metal or plastic to meet the client's needs. If you are looking for custom manufacturing services of cast steel helical gears or emergency repairs, just contact us for more information or to schedule your service.

A “bull gear” refers to the larger of two spur gears that are in engagement in any machine. A clutch is a mechanical device used to gradually stop or start the transmission of power, speed, or torque from a prime mover to a load. The most common type of clutch used in mechanical systems. A friction clutch contains two discs, each connected to its own shaft, that can be forced together to transfer energy. Stahl gear can custom manufacture or repair your bull and clutch gears for almost every application. If you are looking for custom manufacturing services of bull and clutch gears or emergency repairs, just contact us for more information or to schedule your service.

Rack gears are actually straight bars with gear teeth running along one side meshing into the gear teeth of a pinion. Usually the teeth are straight (spur rack). Occasionally the teeth are at an angle (helical rack). Racks and pinions are sometimes used instead of an acme threaded shaft and nut to move a machine head in a back and forth motion. Rack gears are typically used in automobiles (with pinions) to convert rotation into linear motion. When the automobile is steered it engages the track, the track slides right and left. This arrangement provides a greater feedback, or steering "feel". Stahl gear can custom manufacture or repair your rack gears for almost every application. If you are looking for custom manufacturing services of rack gears or emergency repairs, just contact us for more information or to schedule your service.

A Herringbone gear is a special type of gear, having a side to side combination of two helical gears of opposite hands. Unlike helical gears, they can sustain axial load with ease. The helical grooves of this gear looks like letter V from overhead view. Our herringbone gears are carefully made with the highest precision to ensure they can handle the heaviest axial loads and transmit the highest amounts of power for your heavy machinery applications. Stahl gear can custom manufacture or repair your herringbone gears for almost every application. If you are looking for custom manufacturing services of herringbone gears or emergency repairs, just contact us for more information or to schedule your service.

A miter gear is a conical gear transmitting rotation between two shafts intersecting at a right angle. It’s a type of bevel gear used in pairs with intersecting shafts. The driving gear and driven gear in a miter gear pair have the same diameter, same number of teeth, and a mechanical advantage of 1. Stahl gear can custom manufacture or repair your deep cased miter gears for almost every application. If you are looking for custom manufacturing services of deep cased miter gears or emergency repairs, just contact us for more information or to schedule your service.
