Understanding the mounting distance:Â Intersected-axes gearing (bevel gearing)
Mounting distance is one of the most critical design parameters in intersected-axes gearing (in straight bevel gearing, spiral bevel gearing, […]
Root cause for noise excitation in geometrically-accurate (perfect) parallel-axes gearing
Gears are extensively used to transmit a rotation from a driving shaft to a driven shaft. Depending on the gear […]
