KHK USA Inc. Announces Extensive Line of Spur Gears
A large selection of off-the-shelf products and customized solutions ready within 5 business days
Mineola, NY - KHK USA Inc., a factory owned distributor of the market leading KHK® brand of metric gears, announces its extensive line of metric spur gears. A large selection of off-the-shelf KHK Spur Gears are available in many materials, configurations, modules and numbers of teeth, and KHK quick customized products can ready within 5 business days.
Spur gears are cylindrical disks which have involute shaped teeth cut into their face. The meshing of spur gears results in rolling contacts producing high efficiency of about 95 - 98%. Secondary operations that can be performed include opening the bore, adding of keyways, adding of tapped holes, or reduction of the hub diameter.
KHK Spur Gears are available in a wide variety of materials including structural carbon steel S45C, structural alloy steels SCM440 (medium carbon steel) and SCM415 (low carbon steel), gray cast iron FC200, stainless steels SUS303 and SUS304, nonferrous metal C3604 (free cutting brass), engineering plastics MC901 and MC602ST. Materials conform to U.S. standards including AISI, SAE, ASTM, and AGMA.
The production process of KHK cylindrical gears, including spur gears, depends on consideration of tooth size expressed in module or DP (diametral pitch), configuration, material, heat treating, method for finishing the tooth surface, precision of the gears and manufacturing quantity. The typical production sequence involves cutting off material, blank making on a lathe, tooth cutting on a hobbing machine and deburring. KHK also offers a new method in which a 5-axis machining center is used in combination with gear manufacturing software.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
