Drive designers must make accurate life predictions to ensure reliability. Part of the equation is gear and bearing support flexibility — in the gearbox housing, planet carrier, and ring gear.

Gearboxes in general are a result of over 80 years of accumulated engineering knowledge. So why do gearboxes for wind turbines sometimes fail after seven to 11 years — way less than the anticipated 20 ...

The choice between helical and spur gears in gearboxes may seem straightforward. Go with helical gears if you want the gearbox to run as smoothly and quietly as possible. Choose spur gears when you ...

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media ...

Drive System Design (DSD) and Alvier Mechatronics have teamed up to create a development platform for electric vehicle drives. “The project leverages DSD’s expertise in rapid development engineering ...

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.

A bicycle gearbox is a mechanical system that can change a bike's gear ratio, enabling you to adjust your pedalling effort and speed. Gearboxes use a clever spur gearing system and are integrated ...
