The ATS617 gear-tooth sensor IC is a peak-detecting device that uses automatic gain control and an integrated capacitor to provide extremely accurate gear edge detection down to low operating speeds.

The causes of gear failure are diverse yet preventable—even tooth degradation and lubrication contamination. Following these ...

The different gear noises are classified under the names of knock, rattle, growl, hum and sing, and these are discussed at some length, examples of defects that cause noise being given and a device ...

Here is a look back on Allegro’s true zero-speed, high accuracy gear tooth sensor released since 2009. The ATS667 has an optimized robustness against magnetic offset variation and has a small signal ...

Invention of the gear-hobbing process about 150 years ago revolutionized not only gear fabrication, but also gear design. Basically, a hob or shaper cutter traverses the gear blank to generate teeth.

Even before the Industrial Revolution, gears of one kind or another have been put to work both for and against us. From ancient water wheels and windmills that ground grain and pounded flax, to the ...

If you are a gearhead like us, you'll agree that one of the coolest sounds a racecar can produce, besides the exhaust note, is the high-pitched whine of a straight-cut gearbox. Most hardcore racecars ...

You can buy gears off the shelf, of course, and get accurately machined parts exactly to your chosen specification. However, there’s something rugged and individualist about producing your own ...
