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 ...
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.
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 ...
