What are the advantages compared to conventional involute-tooth gears and transmissions?
First of all, since the technology is based on such a fundamentally different approach there are a lot of differences that may look insignificant at first sight yet could be of major importance in some applications. For example, since our technology does not require or require very little lubrication and cooling it looks very useful in the cases of low temperature and super-clean or vacuum-technological applications. However, many of the differences are obviously very advantageous. Just to mention a few, many of them are described in these web pages in detail, these include • practically no sliding friction and 100% energy efficiency • no back-lash • very high engagement factor and • flexible design Some of the consequences of these advantages are • low operating costs • very little heating and very little need for lubrication and cooling • low noise and vibrations (very useful for high-precision machine tools) • low abrasion • long lifetime • very precise, smooth and steady movements
