Materials — When complicated geometry proves more trouble than it’s worth, the deceptively simple function of transmitting torque can be improved by even small changes in chemical makeup. The core ...

Because shafts provide the inner raceways for all linear bearings, theirs is often lumped into bearing design as an afterthought. But bearing raceway sections on shafts are very critical because some ...

Mr. Mark Grizotsky contributes the following proposal for producing a specific type of roughing hob. “This type of spline is produced on a universal gear-milling machine or special spline milling ...

Factors influencing the proportioning of machine elements: stresses, deformations, and failure criteria as applied to shafts, springs, belts, bearings, gears. Design of Elements is a required course ...

Shaft design veteran Alex Dee co-founded Aretera with a straightforward but subversive thesis: Stability and stiffness aren't the same. The post The story behind Aretera’s first-of-its-kind shaft ...

Simplified machine designs with fewer components run more efficiently and are less expensive to build. Older mechanical power transmission and actuator technologies, such as chain, rack and pinion and ...
