Management Summary Profile corrections on gears are a commonly used method to reduce transmission error, contact shock, and scoring risk. There are different types of profile corrections. It is a known fact that the type of profile correction used will have a strong influence on the resulting transmission error. The degree of this influence may […]

GearLab was established nearly 30 years ago as an industrial consortium. It is the largest university research group in US focusing on gear research. Over 150 graduate degrees have been granted in the field of gearand power transmission technology. download

R. W. Furrow* and H. H. Mabie~ Received 18 August 1969 Abstract This paper gives the results of static deflection tests on spur gear teeth made of acrylic. Also, a method is given for determining the dimensions of a tapered cantilever beam to replace the actual gear tooth in deflection analysis as proposed by Timoshenko […]
