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.

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 ...

Some spare time recently got used-up designing a pair of involute gears – which, it transpires, is easy in principle, once certain almost-impossible-to-obtain facts have been gathered. There are ...

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11998973B2) discloses a method for manufacturing gears using a unique process involving the rotation of a workpiece and a tool around different axes ...

A single-chip solution that integrates three highly sensitive Hall elements—a samarium cobalt magnet, a pole piece and a Hall-effect IC—the ATS65OLSH is intended for digital gear-tooth sensing and ...

The ATS617 gear-tooth sensor IC is a peak-detecting device that uses automatic gain control and an integrated capacitor to provide extremely accurate gear edge detection down to low operating speeds.
