The Function of the Forklift Idler Gear
Forklift idler gear is a driven gear, meshing with the transmission gear. It is an indispensable part of the gearbox. The role of the idler gear is to change the direction of rotation without changing the transmission ratio. The idler is also called a carrier gear.
An idler gear is a gear that plays a transmission role between two transmission gears that do not touch each other. It meshes with these two gears at the same time to change the rotation direction of the passive gear to make it the same as the driving gear. The function of the idler gear is only to change the direction of rotation and cannot change the transmission ratio.
The idler gear is also called the intermediate gear or the bridge gear. The number of its teeth has no effect on the numerical value of the transmission ratio, but it will affect the direction of rotation of the final gear. The idler gear mainly plays a transitional role in mechanical equipment and will not change the transmission relationship. It is to make the force of the gear system more reasonable or meet the layout of the entire transmission system.
