20NiMo9-7 alloy achieves up to 48 percent higher fatigue strength than conventional carburizing steels in the as-carburized condition, eliminating the need for shot peening and grinding in automotive gear applications.
.
A method to calculate pitch cones for hypoid gears using macrogeometry parameters—similar to non-offset bevel gears—while accounting for the added complexity of hypoid offset, tooling, and cutting technology is explored in this paper.
.
An excerpt from Gear Technology Solutions by Dr. Hermann J. Stadtfeld covering when and how individual bevel gear members can be replaced during gearbox service without changing the mating gear.
.
This study investigates how manufacturing-related geometry deviations in the tooth root area affect gear bending strength calculations, demonstrating that accounting for measured tooth contours rather than nominal geometries is essential for accurate material comparisons in fatigue testing.

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.
Deburring gears is dusty, repetitive, and hard to staff. The OB7 cobot from Productive Robotics automates it with quick setup and no programming required. Consistent finish on every part, built in the USA. See the full cobot deburring package and request a quote.
Download the whitepaper to learn how lifecycle management improves tool performance, reduces downtime, and drives measurable cost savings.
This white paper explores how the use of an automatic tool change system can boost productivity in the grinding process. When manufacturing large gears, the demands regarding surface quality of the ground tooth flanks are increasing.
Join Kevin Meister and Troy Kirby from Productive Robotics, for a practical look at moving from hand deburring to cobot-automated in their own facility and many others.
