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 […]
Multi-sensor metrology advances
Demand for accurate gears delivered on tight schedules is increasing. To keep pace, technology is continually advancing, enabling manufacturers to […]
Inspection & Metrology: Laser interferometry – An enabling technology for optimized automated manufacturing
Technological advances over recent years have elevated metrology from being a “necessary evil” in manufacturing scenarios to enabling technologies, allowing […]
Optimization of asymmetric tooth root generated with protuberance hob
The Direct Gear Design [1] method optimizes various parameters and elements of gear tooth geometry to achieve the required gear-drive […]
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 […]
Using simulation to evaluate part green shape to reduce distortion during plug quenching
Determining the heat-treatment geometry (green shape) for complex gears is not a trivial task. Mass distribution becomes critical in determining […]
Methods to Determine Form Diameter on Hobbed External Involute Gears
In custom designs of external spur or helical gears, designers generally prefer a lower form diameter for greater transverse contact […]
