Post Gear Expo 2013 Wrap-Up This year’s Gear Expo was another success for the American Gear Manufacturers Association, and Gear Solutions was there to experience it all. For those who missed out (or just want to relive it), we’ve written this summary using testimonials, opinions, and some great photography. Cover Photo: Gleason Corporation OCTOBER 2013 5 LETTER FROM THEEDITOR David C. Cooper PUBLISHER ORLANDO, September 20—The bustle has subsided now. The booths have all been packed up and Chad Morrison shipped. Front desk clerks are checking in new hotel guests. Exhibitors and attendees, having converged ASSOCIATE PUBLISHER this week in Indianapolis for the gear industry’s premier event, now journey home. As the Gear Solutions staff awaits the departure of our final flight home out of Gate 121 at Orlando International Airport, I can’t help but reflect back on the events of the past week. What was the “experi- EDITORIAL ence?” How can I wrap Gear Expo 2013 up in a nice, neat, little package for our readers? Stephen Sisk I can’t. Not here. Telling the whole story is impossible to put in so few words. An attempt at doing so EDITOR would be a disservice to the AGMA, to Gear Expo, and to you—our readers. Besides, I’d wager that this experience is unique to each individual. If I were to ask 100 people what Tim Byrd Gear Expo 2013 meant to them, odds are I’d get 100 different answers. MANAGING EDITOR To a manufacturer, it may have meant proudly showcasing its products and technologies. The engineer or designer may laud the Fall Technical Meeting for its free and open exchange of ideas and scholarship. SalES To the salesperson, Gear Expo was an opportunity to generate leads and identify customer needs. Chad Morrison The small, family-owned shop may have been looking for a way to keep its head above water. ASSOCIATE PUBLISHER The first-timer may simply have described the event in a single word: “overwhelming.” Gear Solutions will be telling these stories in the months and years to come. For now, however, we sit Michael Sellaroli wearily amid a three-hour layover. It’s not so much our time in Indy that has taken a toll on us, but the REGIONAL SALES MANAGER months of preparation. Long hours at a computer or on the phone, technical difficulties, considerable financial expenditures, and dozens upon dozens of single-serve coffee portions have all gone into assuring our readers get the greatest benefit possible from our presence at Gear Expo. CIRCUlaTION This week, we saw the fruit of all of our labor, and it wasn’t exhausting at all. It was invigorating. Here Teresa Cooper are some highlights of our Gear Expo 2013 experience: MANAGER • Gear Solutions’ September “Gear Expo Issue” was the largest single issue in our 11-year history Kassie Hughey • We took more staff to Indianapolis for Gear Expo than ever before. COORDINATOR • We wrote a two-part series outlining the AGMA’s (and Gear Expo’s) benefits and contributions to the gear manufacturing industry. Jamie Willett • We launched the Gear Solutions Mobile App—an all-in-one industry phonebook/calendar/network/ ASSISTANT information solution—at Gear Expo 2013. • Coinciding with the App launch, we overhauled gearsolutions.com, making more information easily accessible with responsive design, improved usability, and other enhancements. ART Jeremy Allen We’ve been busy, but we’ve also set the bar high. While we are motivated to get home to our loved CREATIVE DIRECTOR ones, we’re equally anxious to get back to work—developing a long-term vision for how to best serve our readers. The countdown to Detroit begins now. We know you hold us to the highest standards, and we’re committed to exceeding those expectations. Rebecca Allen Two months ago in this column, I commented on AGMA President Joe Franklin’s use of the term GRAPHIC DESIGNER “catalyst” to describe the both the association and Gear Expo. Now that the event has come to an end, this statement rings even more true. The agent of change has performed its duty. We are now all charged Michele Hall with carrying our experiences back to our shops and offices and getting down to business. Gear Solutions GRAPHIC DESIGNER would like to encourage you to follow our lead and strive for excellence in order to ensure continued prosperity for the industry. CONTRIBUTING WRITERS On a personal note, I’d like to personally thank everyone who stopped by our booth at Gear Expo, as BOB ALEKSIVICH well as those who made time for us elsewhere at the show. We are proud to have strengthened existing STEFANIE BURNS relationships, while also seeing a lot of new faces. We learned a lot about how to best serve your needs, AARON HABECK and we will continue to do so the best we know how. TODD MILLER KYLE RACKERS These types of relationships provide a firm foundation for this industry.

    - - IJRDO - Journal of Computer Science and Engineering ISSN: 2456-1843 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL AND CIVIL ENGINEERING GEARS Shivam Bansal Mechanical Department Dronacharya College of Engineering Khentawas, Farukhnagar,Gurgaon [email protected] Yogesh Vashiath Mechanical Department Dronacharya College of Engineering Khentawas, Farukhnagar,Gurgaon [email protected] Ujjwal Batra Mechanical Department Dronacharya College of Engineering Khentawas, Farukhnagar,Gurgaon [email protected] INTRODUCTION A gear or cogwheel is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, or cogs, which mesh with another toothed part in order to transmit torque, in most cases with teeth on the one gear being of identical shape, and often also with that shape on the other gear. Two or more gears working in tandem are called a transmission and can produce a mechanical advantage through a gear ratio and thus may be considered a simple machine. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power source. The most common situation is for a gear to mesh with another gear; however, a gear can also mesh with a non-rotating toothed part, called a rack, thereby producing translation instead of rotation. The gears in a transmission are analogous to the wheels in a crossed belt pulley system. An advantage of gears is that the teeth of a gear prevent slippage. When two gears mesh, and one gear is bigger than the other (even though the size of the teeth must match), a mechanical advantage is produced, with the rotational speeds and the torques of the two gears differing in an inverse relationship. In transmissions which offer multiple gear ratios, such as bicycles, motorcycles, and cars, the term gear, as in first gear, refers to a gear ratio rather than an actual physical gear.

  • General Applications of Gears
    UNIT - III GEAR MANUFACTURING PROCESS SPRX1008 – PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY - II Gears are widely used in various mechanisms and devices to transmit power and motion positively (without slip) between parallel, intersecting (axis) and non-intersecting non parallel shafts, •without change in the direction of rotation •with change in the direction of rotation •without change of speed (of rotation) •with change in speed at any desired ratio Often some gearing system (rack – and – pinion) is also used to transform Rotary motion into linear motion and vice-versa. Fig.1 Features of Spur Gear Gears are basically wheels having, on its periphery, equispaced teeth which are so designed that those wheels transmit, without slip, rotary motion smoothly and uniformly with minimum friction and wear at the mating tooth – profiles. To achieve those favorable conditions, most of the gears have their tooth form based on in volute curve, which can simply be defined as Locus of a point on a straight line which is rolled on the periphery of a circle or Locus of the end point of a stretched string while its unwinding over a cylinder as indicated in Fig. General Applications of Gears Gears of various type, size and material are widely used in several machines and systems requiring positive and stepped drive. The major applications are: • Speed gear box, feed gear box and some other kinematic units of machine tools • Speed drives in textile, jute and similar machineries • Gear boxes of automobiles • Speed and / or feed drives of several metal forming machines • Machineries for mining, tea processing etc. • Large and heavy duty gear boxes used in cement industries, sugar industries, cranes, conveyors etc.
