Involute Gear Profile Gears are mechanisms used to transmit power. There are many different types of gears that can be specialized to a specific application. Gears transmit power through the messing of gear teeth at single point along a line of action. The tooth profile is one side of a tooth in a cross section between…
Design Considerations for Plastic Gearing The material used to manufacture individual components of a system can affect things like cost of manufacture, precision of the finished system and the load that can be put on the individual component. Gear materials have basic requirements such as strength to handle the gear loading, good wear and friction…
Machining and Aerospace Machining Machining is a name for processes of manufacturing categorized by removing material in order to make a component. Milling and turning are two different types of machining which can be manually controlled or CNC, computer numerical controlled.
