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 […]
