Gear tooth geometry is determined primarily by pitch, depth, and pressure angle. Pitch: Standard pitches are usually whole numbers when measured as diametral pitch P, the ratio of the number of teeth ...

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.

Simulation tools are now available to simulate complex gear measurements after heat-treatment simulation. This is the focus of the feature article that has just been published in Thermal Processing, ...

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 ...
