This paper presents a dynamic analysis of spur gear systems, using three different microcomputer codes. Two of the codes are based on mainframe computer codes of four inertia models developed by ...

Behind the decreased noise are helical gears — quieter than traditional spur gears — optimized tooth and face contact ratios, and specialized tooth modifications that don't follow AGMA or DIN ...

The conclusion regarding gear type is to use herringbone gears whenever possible, but ensure the use of bearings that can handle the increased axial force compared to spur gears.

For instance, in the gears module, users can simulate the backlash of a gear pair in a streamlined fashion using a gear-creation wizard. And in the belts module, users can predict belt tension and ...
