Operating for long hours, under extreme loads, in high temperatures and dusty environments, ongoing wear is a significant challenge for open gears. This can lead to unplanned downtime and reduced equipment life—creating a barrier to effective operations. Leading mining and cement companies use advanced grease technology and technical inspections to help prevent open gear failure, optimize service life and ensure the smooth running of their operations.
The paper examines how optimizing asymmetric gear tooth geometry through Direct Gear Design can improve load capacity, efficiency, and compactness in EV gearboxes, surpassing the performance limits of conventional symmetric gears.

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 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.
.
This work aims to demonstrate the potential benefit of applying nanocomposite coatings to gear teeth to reduce operating friction and wear by presenting tribological test data.
.
Variable loads resulting from a working process, starting process, or operation near a critical speed will cause varying stresses at the gear teeth of a drive system. The magnitude and frequency of these loads depend upon the driven machine, the motor, the dynamic mass elastic properties of the system, and other effects.
The way to increase production, especially with the largest gears, is to decrease nonproductive time with improved strategies.
For precision measuring, skilled machinists, toolmakers, and inspectors must have accurate tools and gages, produced from quality materials, carefully manufactured, and rigidly inspected, to ensure lasting dependability. Gages have evolved throughout the years beginning with mechanical, then electronic models, and now convenient wireless electronic versions have come on the scene. Each type has an important place in today’s quality control and inspection processes.
Furnaces North America 2022 (FNA 2022), presented by the Metal Treating Institute (MTI), in partnership with its media partner, Heat Treat Today, is the heat-treating industry’s go-to event every other year. FNA 2022 attracted attendees from across North America, including Fortune 500 companies. For three days attendees took part in networking, connections, and learning about the vast changes taking place in emerging technologies, industry trends, and advances in equipment.

CNC Gear Machine Tools: The Strategic Case for Re-controlling AND Re-building Versus New
Kapp Technologies L.P., the North American subsidiary of the Kapp Niles Group, has taken a significant step toward strengthening its domestic manufacturing capabilities. The company has successfully launched in-house production of diamond dressing tools at its Boulder, Colorado facility — marking a major milestone in its U.S.-based operations.
The Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) has entered into a strategic partnership with the Motion + Power Manufacturers Alliance (MPMA) to jointly develop and deliver content for the 2026 MPMA Fall Technical Meeting (FTM).
A new version of the MESYS shaft and rolling bearing analysis software is available. The bearing analysis software allows the calculation of the load distribution within the bearing as well as bearing life according to ISO 16281. It is integrated in a shaft system calculation offering additional capabilities such as modal analysis, strength calculation for shafts and interfaces to gear calculations.
