Background

Gears and Gear drives are one of the key components of all kinds of vehicles, machine tools, aircrafts, household appliances as well as a broad variety of industrial equipment. Today the designers are facing challenges of demands about increasing lifetime, efficient power transmission and noise emission, while the size and weight of gear drives is constantly reduced. Hence, the accuracy of gears is crucial for achieving the above functional demands.
Proper understanding of gear metrology and measurement of gears is very important for ensuing the required accuracy and quality, lower overall cost of manufacture by controlling rejects and scrap, control machines and machining practices and determine heat treat distortions to make necessary corrections.
