NATO Supply Class 3020 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 30, which is dedicated to Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment.
NATO Supply Class 3020 specifically focuses on Gears, Pulleys, Sprockets, and Transmission Chain. These components play a crucial role in the mechanical power transmission process, enabling the transfer of power from one component to another within a system.
Gears are rotating mechanical devices with teeth that mesh with other gears to transmit power and motion. They are commonly used in various applications, such as automobiles, machinery, and industrial equipment.
Pulleys are wheel-like devices with a grooved rim designed to support and guide belts or ropes. They are used to transmit power and change the direction of force in systems like conveyor belts, elevators, and engines.
Sprockets are toothed wheels that engage with a chain or belt to transmit power and motion. They are commonly found in bicycles, motorcycles, and industrial machinery.
Transmission chains are flexible, linked chains that transmit power between two or more sprockets. They are commonly used in motorcycles, bicycles, and industrial machinery.
In summary, NATO Supply Class 3020 encompasses gears, pulleys, sprockets, and transmission chains, which are essential components in mechanical power transmission systems.
Includes Power Transmission Chain; Matched Gear Sets.
Excludes Reduction Gears (FSC 3010).
