A new approach for the calculation of worm shaft deflection in worm and crossed helical gear drives
Worm gear drives are characterized by a simple design, which allows the realization of a high gear ratio within one […]
Leveraging the complementary strengths of orbitless and planetary drives
An orbitless drive is a novel, fixed-ratio, epicyclic drive that includes a second carrier in place of a ring gear. […]
