Description

Ameridrives Amerigear O'Ring Seal Gear Couplings were designed in the early 1950's when the Amerigear Fully Crowned Gear Tooth was patented. In contrast with ordinary gear tooth forms, all three working portions of the tooth are crowned. The teeth are capable of sliding freely in the axial direction without digging or gouging the internal mating teeth. This design offers operational benefits of maximum load-carrying capacity with minimum size, maximum reliability and long life.

Amerigear® Fully Crowned Gear Tooth

Amerigear flexible coupling feature Fully-Crowned Gear Teeth. In contrast with ordinary gear tooth forms, the Amerigear Fully-Crowned Tooth represents the ultimate achievement in the art of gear tooth design, wherein all three working portions of the tooth are crowned. As a result, the teeth act much like a rocking chair, capable of sliding freely in the axial direction without digging or gouging the internal mating teeth. Because of this design advantage, Amerigear Flexible Couplings with Fully-Crowned Gear Teeth offer operational benefits of maximum load-carrying capacity with minimum size, maximum reliability and long life.
