Forestry

The forestry sector avails the use of numerous types of heavy machinery. Gear systems are the basis of operating such equipment. To cater to the demands of this sector, True Gear & Spline Ltd. offers a range of gears such as planetary gears, helical gears, bevel gears, spur gears, worm and worm gears, and rack and pinion gears. Here is a brief examination of pain points affecting the forestry sector and how our products address them effectively.

Challenges In The Forestry Sector

Extreme Terrain: The presence of elements such as rocks, steep terrain, trees, and uneven surfaces, forestry equipment faces significant wear and tear. 

Harsh Weather Conditions: Conditions such as extreme heat, rain, and snow also impact the durability and performance of heavy machinery.

Applications Of Gears In The Forestry Sector

Planetary Gears: Planetary gears are primarily used in excavators, log loaders, and fellers. Their high torque generation abilities and taking up minimal space are attributed to these applications.

Spur and Helical Gears: Spur and helical gears are used in tandem in both mobile and stationary forestry equipment, such as harvesters and sawmills. Spur gears are known for their noisome yet simplistic operation, making them a cost-effective solution. Helical gears exhibit superior meshing and generate less noise due to the angled teeth. 

Bevel Gears: Bevel gears are effective at transmitting power between two intersecting shafts. This aids in improving the efficiency and durability of forestry equipment.

Worm And Worm Gears: Our worm and worm gears aid in steering, lifting, and material handling operations. A classic example includes conveyors, which are used for transporting byproducts like wood chips and sawdust.

Racks: Racks convert the rotational motion of the wheel into a linear motion, which serves steering operations in a wide variety of forestry equipment.
