This new edition provides extensive information to designers on various aspects of gears and gearing systems. Very comprehensive in its coverage, the handbook contains enough tables, illustrative examples and diagrams to enable designers arrive at quick solutions for their problems. The handbook is based on ISO specifications and is a unique blend of practical as well as the theoretical aspects of gear designs. The new edition includes more on spiral bevel gears, arcoid gears, klingelnberg, and gleason systems and gear tooth checking.
For more than 30 years the book Practical Gear Design, later re-titled Handbook of Practical Gear Design, has been the leading engineering guide and reference on the subject. It is now available again in its most recent edition. The book is a detailed, practical guide and reference to gear technology. The design of all types of gears is covered, from those for small mechanisms to large industrial applications. The presentation is designed for easy reference for those involved in practical gear design, manufacture, applications and problem solving. The text is well illustrated with clear diagrams and photographs. The many tables provide needed reference data in convenient form.

It Describes In Detail Gear Design Formulae Under Various Design Standards. As The Underlying Technical Evaluation Is Also Given In Deriving These Formulae, The Presentation Will Help Gear Designers In Understanding Various Standards And The Reasons For The Differences Between These Standards.
Annotation Rakhit wants other engineers to avoid the considerable trouble he had understanding the art of gear heat treatment when he first embarked on a career in gear design and manufacturing. He explains how heat treating and gears made of some kinds of steel gives the gears high geometric accuracy, but can also distort them and raise the cost of manufacturing, so a gear engineer needs to excel in manufacturing, lubrication, life and failure analysis, and machine design as well as design. He presents a case history of each successful gear heat treatment process that provide information on the quality of gear that can be expected with the proper control of material and processes.

This book covers recent developments in practically all spheres of mechanical engineering related to different kinds of gears and transmissions. Topics treated range from fundamental research to the advanced applications of gears in various practical fields, prospects of manufacturing development, results and trends of numerical and experimental research of gears, new approaches to gear design and aspects of their optimization synthesis.
All of the critical technical aspects of gear materials technology are addressed in this new reference work. Gear Materials, Properties, and Manufacture is intended for gear metallurgists and materials specialists, manufacturing engineers, lubrication technologists, and analysts concerned with gear failures who seek a better understanding of gear performance and gear life. This volume complements other gear texts that emphasize the design, geometry, and theory of gears. The coverage begins with an overview of the various types of gears used, important gear terminology, applied stresses and strength requirements associated with gears, and lubrication and wear. This is followed by in-depth treatment of metallic (ferrous and nonferrous alloys) and plastic gear materials. Emphasis is on the properties of carburized steels, the material of choice for high-performance power transmission gearing.
