A team of New York University scientists has created a gear mechanism that relies on fluids to generate rotation. The ...
When a job calls for designing nonstandard gearing, you might crunch through the AGMA or ISO calculations or turn to one of several gear-design programs. The KISSsoft 08/2005 package is a better ...
From the chariot wheels crossing the Gobi Desert in 3,000 BCE to the intricate bronze clockwork of the Antikythera mechanism ...
Invention of the gear-hobbing process about 150 years ago revolutionized not only gear fabrication, but also gear design. Basically, a hob or shaper cutter traverses the gear blank to generate teeth.
As one gear turns, the other gear must also turn. Where the gears meet, the teeth must both move in the same direction. In the diagram, the teeth of both gears move upwards. This means that the gears ...
Sometimes a tool designer must calculate the size and dimensions for a spline bush (ring) with external gear teeth if he sees large external forces (F), torsional moment (M), and bending moments (M1, ...
