product details:

In a jigsaw, the gear wheel, also known as the drive gear or helical gear, plays a critical role in transmitting power from the motor to the reciprocating blade. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its function, types, materials, and replacement considerations:

Function:

The  gear wheel acts as the bridge between the motor’s rotational power and the sawing action of the blade:

1. Motor Power: The electric motor generates torque (rotational force) at a specific speed.
2. Power Transfer: This torque is transmitted from the motor shaft to the gear wheel.
3. Gear Meshing: The gear wheel meshes with another gear, often a crankshaft gear, within the jigsaw’s housing.
4. Movement Conversion: This meshing of gears converts the motor’s rotational motion into a reciprocating (back-and-forth) motion.
5. Blade Connection: The crankshaft gear connects to a mechanism that drives the jigsaw blade up and down, enabling the cutting action.

Materials:

The gear wheels are typically made from high-strength materials to handle the forces generated by the motor and withstand wear during operation. Common materials include:

• Metal Alloys: Steel or aluminum alloys are commonly used for their durability and ability to transmit power efficiently.
• Engineering Plastics (Less Common): In some lower-powered jigsaws, gear wheels might be made from high-quality engineering plastics to reduce weight and cost. However, these might not be as durable as metal gears.
