Design Considerations for Plastic Gearing The material used to manufacture individual components of a system can affect things like cost of manufacture, precision of the finished system and the load that can be put on the individual component. Gear materials have basic requirements such as strength to handle the gear loading, good wear and friction…
Machining and Aerospace Machining Machining is a name for processes of manufacturing categorized by removing material in order to make a component. Milling and turning are two different types of machining which can be manually controlled or CNC, computer numerical controlled. Machining can be used in order to manufacture a component completely from a raw…
Gears are used for the transmission of motion through engagement of gear teeth which will either result in an acceleration or reduction of speed. These teeth can be applied in various forms, the most common being the involute gear tooth profile. A gear train is made when a combination of gears in mesh are used…
