Gear Boxes St Louis
A machine consists of a power source and a power transmission system, which provides controlled application of the power. Merriam-Webster defines transmission as an assembly of parts including the speed-changing gears and the propeller shaft by which the power is transmitted from an engine to a live axle. Often transmission refers simply to the gearbox that uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device.
In British English, the term transmission refers to the whole drivetrain, including clutch, gearbox, prop shaft (for rear-wheel drive), differential, and final drive shafts. In American English, however, the term refers more specifically to the gearbox alone, and the usage details are different.
The most common use is in motor vehicles, where the transmission adapts the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. Such engines need to operate at a relatively high rotational speed, which is inappropriate for starting, stopping, and slower travel. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process. Transmissions are also used on pedal bicycles, fixed machines, and anywhere rotational speed and torque must be adapted.
Advanced Jiffy Machine Products, Inc was established in January of 1979 as a general machine shop, doing work for area industries and aerospace companies. The company started out in downtown Monett, Missouri, and in July of 1982 moved into a new 4500 square foot climate controlled building located in the Industrial Park. In 1983, we added gear manufacturing to our product line to branch out and add a needed specialized service to our business. As our business and customer base has grown over the years, we have been through two more expansions making our building 8000 square feet.
We do a variety of different operations including:
– CNC gear work, including shaft splining, internal splines, sprockets, gear sets, helicals (internal and external), spurs, specialized gearing, and timing belt pulleys.
– CNC lathe work, including hard turning, hard boring, and other various turning and boring operations as needed.
– General machining and complete gearbox manufacturing.
We are willing to quote on product development work, repair work, and production lots both large and small.
We make gears ranging in outside diameter size from less than a 1/2″ to 25” and shafts 3″ in diameter and up to 40 feet long. We can also shape and broach internal gears. Some of the industries that we provide gears and other services include oil, gas, winch, printing, farm implement, industrial gears, and many others.
