This book provides graduate students, gear and gear
design professionals, gear producers and servicers and professors all
the information they need regarding gears and gear drives in one single
book. Contents include: background for dealing with gears and gear
trains (classification, power and transmission ratio distribution,
complete geometry and kinematics); fundamental derivations, explanations
and necessary explanations of formulae; 3D figures accompanying the
text for improved understanding; directions and suggestions for
practical design for all types of gears and gear drives; detailed
instructions and formulae for determining the tolerances and procedures
for measuring and controlling the accuracy of drives and their members;
assessments of their integrity and calculation of the micro-pitting load
capacity in accordance with the latest ISO standards.

From the Back Cover
Understanding how gears are formed and how they interact or
‘mesh’ with each other is essential when designing equipment that uses
gears or gear trains. The way in which gear teeth are formed and how
they mesh is determined by their geometry and kinematics, which is the
topic of this book.
Gears and Gear Drives provides the
reader with comprehensive coverage of gears and gear drives. Spur,
helical, bevel, worm and planetary gears are all covered, with
consideration given to their classification, geometry, kinematics,
accuracy control, load capacity and manufacturing. Cylindrical gear
geometry is the basis for dealing with any gear drives, so this is
covered in detail.
Key features:
- Contains hundreds of 2D and 3D figures to illustrate all types of gears and gear drives, including planetary and worm gears
- Includes fundamental derivations and explanations of formulae
- Enables the reader to know how to carry out accuracy control and load capacity checks for any gear drive
- Includes directions for the practical design of gears and gear drives
- Covers DIN and ISO standards in the area
Gears and Gear Drives
is a comprehensive reference for gears and gear drive professionals and
graduate students in mechanical engineering departments and covers
everything important to know how to design, control and manufacture gear
drives.
