This presentation is an expansion of a previous study (Ref.1) by the authors on lapping effects on surface finish and transmission errors. It documents the effects of the superfinishing process on hypoid gears, surface finish and transmission errors.

Impact Technologies considers commercial version of software package.

This paper acknowledges the wide variety of manufacturing processes--especially in grinding--utlized in the production of bevel gears...

Studies to evaluate low-noise Formate spiral bevel gears were performed. Experimental tests were conducted on a helicopter transmission test stand...

Today, because of reduced cost of coatings and quicker turnaround times, the idea of all-around coating on three-face-sharpened blades is again economically viable, allowing manufacturers greater freedoms in cutting blade parameters, including three-face-sharpened and even four-face-sharpened blades.

This article presents a summary of all factors that contribute to efficient and economical high-speed cutting of bevel and hypoid gears.

Spiral bevel and hypoid gear cutting has changed significantly over the years. The machines, tools, processes and coatings have steadily advanced.

How the latest techniques and software enable faster spiral bevel and hypoid design and development.
