A team of New York University scientists has created a gear mechanism that relies on fluids to generate rotation. The ...

Engineers and manufacturers often speak of “gear quality.” In the U.S. the term is usually associated with a quality number based on AGMA criteria – this number is by no means a comprehensive ...

Gears are toothed wheels that transmit motion from one shaft to another and determine the speed, torque, and direction of rotation of machine elements. Gears can be grouped into two major categories: ...

The ATS617 gear-tooth sensor IC is a peak-detecting device that uses automatic gain control and an integrated capacitor to provide extremely accurate gear edge detection down to low operating speeds.

Even before the Industrial Revolution, gears of one kind or another have been put to work both for and against us. From ancient water wheels and windmills that ground grain and pounded flax, to the ...

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 ...
