The teeth of teeth of involute gears hobs and teeth for involute spline shaft hobs have a trapezoidal profile. In the U.S. a huge volume of good quality hobs are produced, and offers potential for ...

This is an idea for a computer program to convert certain sizes of involute spline shaft hobs into different sizes, and vice-versa, as they have the same circular pitch or diametral pitch (P). It is ...

Some spare time recently got used-up designing a pair of involute gears – which, it transpires, is easy in principle, once certain almost-impossible-to-obtain facts have been gathered. There are ...

, 'involute gears' and 'cycloid gears', based on the difference in tooth shape. Both types have their own advantages, but technology blogger lcamtuf explains the advantages of involute gears. A ...

The ubiquitous ball spline. Basically, it is a type of mechanical element used in a variety of industrial applications where precise movement and alignment is required, like machine tools, robot arms ...

Ball splines and bearings: each play a role in mechanical function, and each are unique. All types of machinery are provided with supports for rotating shafts, and that supporting device is a ...
