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 ...

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.

In the first of this two-part series, we explored how new computer-based modeling of geared systems is allowing the design of gear microgeometry for durability and lower noise, vibration, and ...

The existing Pascal curve gears are limited by inflexible pitch curves and constrained transmission ratio changes, which hinders the application in a range of mechanical systems that require more ...

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 ...

This is a part focusing on landing gear design from the article Three Commercial Autogiros: The Pitcairn and Kellet machines, - a comparative study of their proportions and structure from the July ...

In gear design, gear performance metrics such as safety factors for tooth root stress and surface durability, peak-to-peak static transmission error (PPSTE ...

Retractable landing gear evolved from early 20th-century designs to enhance aircraft performance by reducing drag, utilizing various power sources like manual, electric, and hydraulic systems. Modern ...
