What is a small transmission?
A transmission, also known as a gearbox, is an important device that transmits rotation and torque from the engine to the wheels.
Small transmissions are used in small snowplows, agricultural transporters, crop planters, and fertilizer spreaders. While precision is important, transmission durability is essential to endure outdoor use and long years of heavy wear and tear.
Transmissions consist mainly of various gears and shafts (axles).The shaving process is the most important part of the gear manufacturing process, which involves thinning the gear’s cut surface and creating a highly precise cross-section to enhance the gear quality grade. Asano Gear Factory, originally specializing in gear manufacturing, excels in advanced shaving technology and has fully leveraged this expertise to produce high-grade gears.The company holds the top share in the small transmission market.
