The
sleeve gear is used to join several
transmission systems such as
shafts with ring gears. The shafts have several toothed parts, with different types of toothing. The materials with which they are usually built are C45, 20MnCr5, 17NiCrMo6, 39NiCrMo3, 42CrMo4.
Surface treatments can be
case hardening and
nitriding.
The fields of application can be:
- the hydraulic sector
- the industrial one
- the agricultural one.
The sleeve gear is often applied inside
gearboxes.
It is made to slide sideways by the
shift forks, which are activated when the gear is shifted.
