KHK (Kohara Gear Industry) is a globally respected gear manufacturer established in 1935. Focused exclusively on producing high-precision, standardized gears, KHK offers one of the widest metric gear assortments available today. Spur gears transmit motion between parallel shafts using straight teeth, offering high precision, easy manufacturing, and no axial thrust. They are widely used across robotics, automation, medical, semiconductor, and industrial machinery applications. Helical gears feature angled teeth that provide smoother, quieter operation with less vibration and higher load capacity than spur gears. Their design enables efficient high-speed performance, though they generate axial thrust and require proper bearing support. Gear racks convert rotary motion into linear movement when paired with a pinion, forming a reliable rack and pinion system. They offer high load capacity, unlimited length options, and are widely used in automation, robotics, machinery, and steering systems. Worm gears transmit motion between non-parallel, non-intersecting shafts, delivering high reduction ratios in a compact, right-angle configuration. They offer smooth, quiet operation and potential self-locking capability, making them ideal for high-torque and controlled motion applications. Bevel gears are cone-shaped gears designed to transmit motion between intersecting shafts, typically at 90 degrees. Available in straight and spiral designs, they provide reliable performance across robotics, automation, medical, and industrial machinery applications. Miter gears are a type of bevel gear with a 1:1 ratio, designed to change the direction of rotation between intersecting shafts without altering speed. Available in straight or spiral designs, they can operate at various shaft angles and are ideal for accurate right-angle power transmission. Internal gears have teeth cut on the inside diameter of a cylinder and mesh with spur gears, making them ideal for compact drive systems. They are commonly used in planetary gear mechanisms and applications requiring efficient, space-saving power transmission. Screw gears (crossed helical gears) transmit motion between non-intersecting, non-parallel shafts using angled teeth in point contact. They are suited for light-load applications requiring smooth, compact power transmission with flexible shaft angle configurations.
