Gearmaking has always been a matter of precision – and of verifying the reliability and consistency of the precision cutting processes. As applications for gear products increase, so does the need to ...

A new approach to gear skiving, a specialized machining technique for producing internal gears, could improve the speed and ...

The teeth of teeth of involute gears hobs and teeth for involute spline shaft hobs have a trapezoidal profile. In the U.S. a huge volume of good quality hobs are produced, and offers potential for ...

Simulation tools are now available to simulate complex gear measurements after heat-treatment simulation. This is the focus of the feature article that has just been published in Thermal Processing, ...

Engineers and manufacturers often speak of “gear quality.” In the U.S. the term is usually associated with a quality number based on AGMA criteria – this number is by no means a comprehensive ...

Invention of the gear-hobbing process about 150 years ago revolutionized not only gear fabrication, but also gear design. Basically, a hob or shaper cutter traverses the gear blank to generate teeth.
