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 new approach to gear skiving, a specialized machining technique for producing internal gears, could improve the speed and ...

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.

Gearmaking has always been a matter of precision – and of verifying the reliability and consistency of the precision cutting processes. As applications for gear products increase, so does the need to ...

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