“We invented new types of gears that engage by spinning up fluid rather than interlocking teeth—and we discovered new ...

Design engineers face continuous pressure to enhance product performance while driving down costs. For many devices, converting metal components to plastic is an effective way of achieving both goals.

The larger gear in a pair is called the gear, the smaller is called the pinion. Gear ratio: The number of teeth in the gear divided by the number of teeth in the pinion. Also, ratio of the speed of ...

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 ...

The causes of gear failure are diverse yet preventable—even tooth degradation and lubrication contamination. Following these ...

Gears make the industrial world go ’round. And RIT engineering faculty and doctoral students are working to keep them moving efficiently. Gears transmit the motion necessary to operate the equipment ...

If you’re into CNC machining, mechanical tinkering, or just love a good engineering rabbit hole, you’re in for a treat. Substack’s [lcamtuf] has written a quick yet insightful 15-minute introduction ...

IGD – Integrated Gear Design – continues growing every day. IGD version 3.7 comprises more than 1.4 million lines of code distributed in 1,321 files. It provides solutions for advanced gear design and ...
