Leonardo Helicopters’ 20-year, 650+ test campaign characterizing tooth-root bending fatigue strength across gear materials, heat treatments, and finishing processes (notably shot peening and superfinishing) to support aerospace gear design.
This article demonstrates why bevel gears are designed with a zero sum of profile shifts—showing that independent shifts merely replicate what a modified pressure angle already achieves—and explains the practical benefits of using conical generating gears for tooth profile crowning.
.
Water spray quenching achieves heat transfer coefficients up to 4,000 W/(m²K)—nearly double conventional oil quenching rates—enabling potential material substitution and tailored quench intensity for complex gear components.
.
This excerpt from Gear Technology Solutions explains how oversized cutter blade edge radii cause root interference in bevel gears, and how to select correct radii to avoid noise, flank damage, and tooth fracture.
.
An excerpt from Gear Technology Solutions by Dr. Hermann J. Stadtfeld exploring the mathematics behind conjugate bevel and hypoid gears—from the fundamental laws of gearing and the conditions for perfect conjugacy to why real-world power transmissions require deliberate crowning rather than theoretically exact conjugate designs.

Thanks to material development and additive manufacturing opportunities, it’s important for the gear and power transmission industries to monitor the trends, technologies and future forecasts in the powder metal market.
As the gear and power transmission industries evolve, companies worldwide face a critical challenge: how to ensure the workforce is skilled, prepared, and ready to tackle increasingly complex manufacturing processes. From digital manufacturing and automation to generational turnover, the demand for technically proficient employees has never been higher. In response, the Motion + Power Technology Association (MPMA) redeveloped its Workforce Training Series, modernizing its most popular on-demand courses with updated content, high-quality media, and a flexible, self-paced delivery model.
Press quenching is a tried-and-true process for the controlled hardening of flat, circular close tolerance parts. The process ensures good dimensional control and uniform hardening, thus allowing for seamless processing post heat treatment.
The demand for double helical gears in planetary gear systems for engines in the civil aerospace industry is increasing. Innovative grinding processes and state-of-the-art technologies ensure precision, reduced weight, and improved cost efficiency. Learn how KAPP NILES reduced the gap width from 30 mm to 15 mm.
Discover four diagnostic enhancement tools that move RX® endothermic gas atmosphere generator operations from preventative to predictive maintenance. Learn how monitoring dew point by retort, comparing equal flow, tracking tube performance, and measuring outlet temperatures prevent costly failures while ensuring consistent, high-quality carrier gas production.
The right hob can make a measurable difference in gear production. Watch the video to see how Star SU combines advanced hob technology with application expertise to help manufacturers get more from every gear cutting operation.
The Intra SFTX twin-spindle single-flank testing system is engineered for advanced gear quality testing and NVH analysis of demanding e-drive gear applications. Combining Transmission Error (TE) and Torsional Acceleration (TA) measurements, it delivers fast, precise diagnostics and detailed order analysis, quickly identifies critical gear issues, enhances traceability, and helps prevent costly defects from reaching end-of-line (EOL) testing.
The 80PS Power Skiving and Hobbing Machine is specifically engineered for power skiving, hobbing, and profile milling of small internal and external gears. Configured specifically for the demands of humanoid robotic gear production, it delivers outstanding performance and process stability for gears used in strain wave, planetary, and cycloidal gearboxes, as well as other high-precision applications of comparable size — even when machining fine-pitch gears and thin-walled components.
The Horsburgh & Scott engineering team has over 135 years of experience designing, manufacturing and maintaining gearboxes in heavy-duty applications around the world. They have proven design standards for gearboxes up to 5,000 hp and 4 million ft-lbs. with speeds from 0.5 to 3,600 rpm. If they don’t have a standard gearbox to meet customer's needs, they can design a custom gearbox for a specific application.
At IMTS 2026, ANCA will demonstrate a connected regrinding workflow bringing together the ANCA MX7 ULTRA, ZOLLER genius measuring technology, and AIMS Connect software to help manufacturers extend tool life, reduce carbide consumption and gain greater control over the regrinding process.
