The Motion + Power Technology Expo (MPT Expo) returns to Detroit from October 21–23, 2025, colocated with Heat Treat 2025, creating one of North America’s most comprehensive gatherings for mechanical, fluid, and electrical power transmission, materials processing, and thermal treatment technologies. This year’s events bring together engineers, researchers, technologists, and decision-makers from across industries to explore, connect, and advance the design, production, and integration of cutting-edge systems that keep modern manufacturing moving.


This paper examines the transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs), highlighting the distinct gear design requirements for each and presenting a comparative case study of gearbox configurations in a 14-ton commercial vehicle.
.
This paper will review the development process, current research status, characteristics, functions, and measurement methods of TE. It will analyze the difficulties and core issues existing in the basic theory of TE, clarify the limitations and deficiencies of TE, and explore ways to overcome the shortcomings of TE.
.
This study explores the failure mode morphology of FZG-A test gears. It aims to examine the orphologies of scuffing, scoring, scratches, and polishing using high-magnification light optical microscopy (LOM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images.
.
This study examines the implementation and experimental validation of state-of-the-art plastic worm gear design methods, focusing on the VDI 2736 guideline as the most comprehensive reference for load-carrying capacity calculations.

Complete inspection of gear surface finishes at the submicron level became a reality with the introduction of Gleason’s 300GMS nano, in 2022. The new system ushered in an exciting new era in gear inspection. For the first time, producers of EV transmission gears, and gears for other applications requiring very tight tolerances and low noise requirements, could quickly inspect surface finishes and perform extremely reliable noise analysis at submicron levels—benefits that were almost impossible to achieve just a few years ago.

CNC Gear Machine Tools: The Strategic Case for Re-controlling AND Re-building Versus New
Setting up an in-house heat treating operation allows businesses throughout many industries to harness this powerful technology and create better-quality metal parts. In this article, Surface Combustion discusses the biggest cost considerations involved in purchasing in-house heat treating technology and investment strategies to ensure you maximize your ROI.
With the introduction of the new 175GMS nano Gear Metrology system, Gleason brings its renowned “nano” sub-micron level inspection capabilities to smaller gears, helping ensure minimal noise, greater precision, and longer life.
Marposs presents its latest innovations in precision measurement and quality at Control 2025. Marposs technologies support advanced manufacturing processes and ensure the highest standards of accuracy and reliability.

The Aichelin Group, a global provider of industrial heat treatment solutions, has signed an agreement to acquire the NTS & UPC business divisions of Nitrex, a manufacturer of industrial furnaces focused on nitriding solutions. Headquartered in Canada, Nitrex has around 250 employees in five countries. Note: The business unit Heat Treating Services is not included in the scope of the acquisition.

The KISSsoft System Module allows you to predefine virtually any possible combination of shifting positions and boundary setups in a transmission or gearbox. They are then combined into Operating Modes. These operating modes specify which clutches, switching elements, or brakes are active and which load is applied at specific system boundaries at a given situation. A typical example is when a gearbox is driven by multiple motors, like in a Dual Motor EV gearbox and different load combinations and/or power flow directions (changes from driving to coasting condition or from motor to generator mode) need to be analyzed.
