A trend gaining ground at industrial plants over the past decade has manufacturers replacing traditional spur and worm gears with high-efficiency helical gears. While sometimes viewed as a pricey ...

The purpose of this article is to provide the design formulas and acceptable stress levels so that calculations of the gear tooth geometry, surface compressive, and bending stresses at which the gears ...

Gears provide two main functions in motion-control systems. In power systems, they match the relatively low-speed, high-torque requirement of the load to the high-speed, low-torque, high-efficiency ...

When a job calls for designing nonstandard gearing, you might crunch through the AGMA or ISO calculations or turn to one of several gear-design programs. The KISSsoft 08/2005 package is a better ...
