Mechanical transmission types and characteristics

There are many types of mechanical transmission, the common ones include:

Mechanical transmission: a method of transmitting force and motion through gears, chains, belts and other components.
Hydraulic transmission: a method of transmitting force and motion using liquid as a medium, suitable for occasions requiring large forces and long-distance transmission.
Pneumatic transmission: a method of transmitting force and motion using compressed air as a medium, suitable for occasions requiring rapid response and remote control.

The characteristics of various mechanical transmission methods are as follows:

Mechanical transmission: simple structure, high efficiency, low cost, suitable for low speed and high torque occasions. Gear transmission has high precision and efficiency, but requires lubrication and maintenance.
Hydraulic transmission: can transmit greater force, suitable for occasions requiring large force and long-distance transmission. Hydraulic transmission can start, stop and change speed smoothly, but attention should be paid to the cleanliness and sealing of the liquid.
Pneumatic transmission: fast response speed, suitable for occasions requiring fast response and remote control. The pneumatic transmission system is simple and easy to maintain, but the transmitted force is relatively small.

Choosing the appropriate transmission method requires considering the specific needs of the application, such as force size, speed requirements, working environment and other factors.
