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.

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 ...

is a powerful and comprehensive computer program for gear design, analysis, optimization and troubleshooting of gear drives. It integrates a virtual gear generator with algorithms for tooth contact ...

Big tires and big obstacles can rob you of torque, traction, and possibly wheel speed. Changing axle gear ratios can help and is most often done to restore reasonable gearing for on-road driving with ...

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 ...
