Some spare time recently got used-up designing a pair of involute gears – which, it transpires, is easy in principle, once certain almost-impossible-to-obtain facts have been gathered. There are ...

If you’re into CNC machining, mechanical tinkering, or just love a good engineering rabbit hole, you’re in for a treat. Substack’s [lcamtuf] has written a quick yet insightful 15-minute introduction ...

Gear Geometry provides an overview of the important design features of common gears. Involute gears have teeth that are shaped by an involute curve. In order to work properly, involute gears must meet ...

Multiple cominations and possibilities Grind any large-angle profile tooth to a smaller one, or a smaller-angle to a larger one Following an earlier proposal for transcribing the angle of hob profile ...

On the web there is a rather classy looking site that will design involute gears for you, and output DXF or SVG CAD files so that you can make them. And it looks like it came about through the ...

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 ...

The production of noiseless gears requires that minute errors in tooth-curves be avoided. Objectionable sound-waves are caused by a gear-tooth error of 0.0003 in. and ...
