For this reason, on the gear-component level, this is really a question of efficiency. Georg/Intech: Design engineers whose machine specs call for self-lubricating gears should talk to an ...

Design flexibility. The design opportunities that plastic gears afford are a major advantage. They can be molded in shapes difficult to machine in metal. Other functional elements such as springs ...

every gear in this innovative design is 3D printed and perfectly integrated into Lego dimensions. With a vertical wind turbine powering the machine, each gear rotates and shifts with precision ...

But with increasing demands on equipment for more power ... established the Gleason Doctoral Fellowships to further collaborations in gear design and manufacturing research. Results from the first ...

The principles of mechanics and commonly used failure theories are applied to the design and analysis of machine elements subjected to static and dynamic (fatigue) load conditions. Elements studied ...

Philadelphia native Laura Wass was always on the lookout for a profession that would combine her interests in design and math. "The first time that I made a ring—planning, sawing, soldering ...

Against this backdrop, some consumers — both new and old — turned to alternative equipment companies to get new gear faster. Many of these upstart companies, like Robin Golf or the ...

[Maciej Nowak] demonstrates just how to produce your own gears with a homemade cutting tool. The cutting tool for the job is an M16 machine tap, chosen for the smaller flutes compared to a hand tap.
