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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Gears fill the cases of automotive transmissions and are widely used in aerospace applications, but these simple tools are deceptively complex to manufacture. We thought it would be good to take a ...

Fair warning: watching this hybrid manufacturing method for gear teeth may result in an uncontrollable urge to buy a fiber laser cutter. Hackaday isn’t responsible for any financial difficulties that ...

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 ...

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.

Here is a look back on Allegro’s true zero-speed, high accuracy gear tooth sensor released since 2009. The ATS667 has an optimized robustness against magnetic offset variation and has a small signal ...
