KHK Educational Gear Kits (6 types)
Chances are poor that people not engaged in the design, manufacture and maintenance of machines and machine elements have had exposure to understanding gear properties and how they work, so KHK has created educational gear kits called GCU Gear Assembly Kits.
The following are the main characteristics of GCU.
- There are 6 kinds according to the gear types (spur gear, bevel gear, rack and pinion, miter gear, screw gear, worm gear).
- By seeing the various types of gears, one can experience how differently each type works.
- The six types of kits can be freely connected so that one can confirm the changes in directions and number of rotations depending on how they are linked to each other.
- The buyer can experience the basics of gear attachment by assembling the kits him/herself.
- The gears used in these kits are not toys but are professional quality, actual components used in the machine industry.
These GCU can be utilized as educational gear kits in the following cases.
- In basic training in technical fields in specialized schools, seminars, associations, etc.
- For educational purposes within technical divisions of enterprises.
- As high level intellectual training toys.
