A must-have book for anyone designing manual gearboxes, based on 40 years of industrial experience.

This book presents the most up-to-date accomplishments in gear design and gear production, detailing theory of gearing and its application. As an enormous number of gears are used in such sectors as automobiles, aerospace, machines, and similar industries, even a very small improvement in the gear design or production, for example a 10 cent savings on each gear, can result in huge of savings in manufacturing, underscoring critical importance of the subject of the book. 

This book presents the latest accomplishments in Novikov/conformal gearing as well as high-conformal gearing.  It is focused primarily on strength calculation of gear teeth and the manufacturing of gears for Novikov/conformal and high-conformal gearing along with a brief discussion of achievements in the modern theory of gearing. 

Updated throughout for the third edition, Theory of Gearing: Kinematics, Geometry, and Synthesis is an essential resource for engineers in the field of gearing. Detailing gear design, production, inspection, and application, the book covers cutting-edge gear types to enable the reader to fully keep track of modern gear developments.

Gear Cutting Tools: Fundamentals of Design and Computation, Second Edition, presents the DG/K-based method of surface generation, a practical mathematical method for designing gear cutting tools with optimal parameters. 

The text addresss gear cutting tool evolution, and proceeds to scientific classification for all types of gear machining meshes before discussing optimal cutting tool designs. Designs currently used and those being planned are covered, and the approach allows for development of scientific predictions and optimal designs. 

Advances in Gear Design and Manufacture deals with gears, gear transmissions, and advanced methods of gear production.

The book is focused on discussion of the latest discoveries and accomplishments in gear design and production, with chapters written by international experts in the field. Topics are aligned to meet the requirements of the modern scientific theory of gearing, providing readers precise knowledge and recommendations on how perfect gears and gear transmissions can be designed and produced, and how they work.

The Fourth Edition of

The new edition of High-Conformal Gearing continues to address the kinematics and the geometry of conformal (Novikov) gearing and high-conformal gearing. The book deals with gears that feature convex-to-concave contact of the tooth flanks of a gear and a mating pinion. Gears of this type are commonly referred to as conformal gearings. Novikov gearing is the most widely known example of conformal gearing. 

This new edition provides extensive information to designers on various aspects of gears and gearing systems. Very comprehensive in its coverage, the handbook contains enough tables, illustrative examples and diagrams to enable designers arrive at quick solutions for their problems. 

The handbook is based on ISO specifications and is a unique blend of practical as well as the theoretical aspects of gear designs. The new edition includes more on spiral bevel gears, arcoid gears, klingelnberg, and gleason systems and gear tooth checking.

The concept of the "worm gear" dates back to ancient times. Over the centuries, the design and use of this gear has evolved and improved. It describes a gear that contains a spiral or "worm" like groove in it. Its early applications mainly involved the drawing of water, but today it has many varied applications-from power transmission to manufacturing.
