The axle connects two or more of a vehicle's wheels to the same axis, whether on the front or back, and depending on how it's configured, the performance of your ride can vary greatly. Furthermore, ...

A U.S. pioneer in worm gear manufacturing is celebrating 100 years of continuous production of gearing technologies during 2012. In 1912, Cleveland Gear was founded as Cleveland Worm & Gear by F.M.

Design enhancements improve efficiency and eliminate leaks. Worm-gear speed reducers have offered a rugged, adaptable, and cost-effective method of power transmission for nearly a century. But their ...
