Practical Gear Engineering Answers to Common Gear Manufacturing Questions

摘要

New book from Gleason's Vice President Bevel Gear Technology will be exclusively excerpted in Gear Technology magazine, starting with the article beginning on page 61. Foreword Gear engineers, just like any other group of our society, like to find answers online if they have a technical question. Those professional experts mainly look for answers to either quite uncommon complex problems, or they are younger Engineers who haven't faced a certain task yet. Many solutions to everyday gear engineering problems are not found in text-books and are not typically part of the curriculum in engineering colleges. This is also the reason why most of the answers to questions that are related to gear design and manufacturing cannot be found online. To fill this void, Gear Technology Magazine introduced a series which is called "Ask the Expert." Gear engineers and gear manufacturing technicians from all over the world post the question on their website. Unlike posting a question in an online forum and receiving some answers over several days, Gear Technology Magazine searches in their files of experts in different aspects of gear design and manufacturing, and asks one or several of their contacts to provide an answer to a specific question. If the topic seems relevant for a larger audience, then the answer(s) are published in their next printed and online issue. This also means that if the same or a similar question is asked online, the search engine will find the answer in the online issue of Gear Technology Magazine (geartechnology.com). After some time, a library of frequently asked questions is available for the benefit of gear experts in manufacturing and academia.
