Product Highlights

  1. The helical gears of Suofu NP Series adopt a customized tooth profile design. Their nearly pure rolling meshing contact minimizes gear abrasion, significantly boosting wear resistance and extending service life.

  2. High-precision machining and structural design deliver ultra-smooth pulse-free gear transmission and drastically reduce operating noise.

  3. The functional tooth surfaces are formed via one-step high-precision injection molding without secondary mechanical machining. This process ensures fully dense and intact tooth surface structure, further improving wear resistance and service lifespan.

  4. Gear shafts are manufactured from high-precision industrial zirconia ceramics. Featuring exceptional rigidity and outstanding wear resistance, the ceramic shafts sustain stable pump operation even in abrasive fluid media and high-pressure working conditions, extending overall product service life.

Straight Gears

Advantages
  1. Simplified machining process with relatively low production costs.

  2. High load-bearing capacity and durable performance.

Disadvantages

Poor transmission stability; impact vibration and high noise are easily generated during operation.

Helical Gears

Advantages
  1. Superior meshing performance. The contact line of helical gear teeth tilts relative to the gear axis. Teeth gradually engage and disengage during rotation, enabling smooth, low-noise transmission. This meshing mode also mitigates the adverse impacts of manufacturing tolerances on power transmission.

  2. Large contact ratio. The high contact ratio distributes load across multiple tooth pairs, lowering individual tooth load, lifting overall load capacity and prolonging gear service life.

  3. Standard helical gears have a smaller minimum number of teeth free from undercutting compared to straight gears, allowing for more compact transmission structures.

Disadvantages

Complicated manufacturing processes with high technical requirements, leading to higher production costs.
