DESCRIPTION:
"best intro to gear design ever" according to Amazon Customer. Essential book for learning gear design. So much of gear design involves the involuted geometry, so it's best to start by studying the geometry! Equations are beautifully laid out, nomenclature is consistent and intuitive, diagrams are excellent. I used this book to write a Matlab script that draws and analyzes involuted spur gears with all the possible non-standard geometric features. It's awesome and this book is awesome. Very readable Buy it. Three Stars useful
The second part describes helical gears, whose teeth form helices about the gear axis.. The basic idea of a wheel with teeth is extremely simple, and dates back several thousand years. The first part of this book deals with spur gears, which are gears with teeth that are parallel to the gear axis. Of all the many types of machine elements which exist today, gears are among the most commonly used. When precision gears are cut by modern gear-cutting machines, the accuracy with which the actual teeth conform to their theoretical shape is quite remarkable, and far exceeds the accuracy which is attained in the manufacture of most other types of machine elements. It may therefore come as a surprise to discover the large quantity of geometric theory that exists on the subject of gears, and to find that there is probably no branch of mechanical engineering where theory and practice are more closely linked. It is obvious to any observer that one gear drives another by means of the meshing teeth, and to the person who has never studied gears, it might seem that no further explanation is required. The theoretical shape of the tooth profile used in most modern gears is an involute. Enormous improvements have been made in the performance of gears during the last two hund
