Gear Geometry and Applied Theory

About

Features

• presents a modern theory of gearing -- a basis for synthesis and computerization of meshing and contact.

• provides detailed coverage of the analytical geometry for all types of gears.

• presents the geometry for new types of gear drives -- e.g., face- gear drives, double circular-arc helical gears.

• considers the applications of Computer Numerically Controlled machines for generation of gears with new topology of gear tooth surfaces.

• outlines new approaches for the tool design and improvement of gear precision.

Description

Written by THE internationally recognized expert in gears and the developer of the modern theory of gearing, this is the definitive reference on gearing. It covers the modern theory of gearing, geometry, design, and computerized simulation of meshing and contact for almost all types of gears.
