A comparison of an analytical and FEA approach in determining thermal lead correction for high-speed gears
For high-speed applications, gears of large dimensions and high-power density are used. Temperature distribution in those rotors is much different […]
Load intensity distribution factor evaluation from strain gauges at the gear root
Strain gauges are commonly used to obtain the load intensity distribution on the flank of a gear mesh. The standard […]
Predicting Gear Sliding Losses
Gearbox efficiency is becoming increasingly important for vehicle manufacturers to help achieve their overall fuel savings goals. Enhancing gearbox efficiency […]
Lubrication and its role in gear-failure analysis
When gears fail, it is most often due to fatigue and overloading. The most common form of distress and failure […]
Power Skiving with integrated cutter resharpening
Gear manufacturing by Power Skiving takes the traditional approach: After a cutter has reached its maximum wear, the operator changes […]
Why selective plating stops gears from grinding to a halt
When problems occur with gears, maintenance engineers know how much of a headache they can be to fix. During the […]
Reducing Tool Wear in Spiral Bevel Gear Machining with the Finite Element Method
