Theory of Gearing：Kinematics, Geometry, and Synthesis

Updated throughout for the third edition, Theory of Gearing: Kinematics, Geometry, and Synthesis is an essential resource for engineers in the field of gearing. Detailing gear design, production, inspection, and application, the book covers cutting-edge gear types to enable the reader to fully keep track of modern gear developments.

Demonstrating the rigorous scientific theory behind optimal gear design, manufacture, and performance, a key focus of the new edition is on aiding engineers in designing low noise transmissions in smaller sizes, improving fuel consumption and reducing emissions. Chapters included will discuss key features of Split-Power-Transmission-Systems (SPTS) with equal (almost equal) power share, and Uniform Rotary Motion. Entirely new chapters for the third edition include: Parallel-Axes involute gearing of specific design and gear, and Novikov/Conformal and High-Conformal gearing.

The book will be of interest to engineers and researchers in the gearing industry. It will also have relevance to those working in tribology, metallurgy, and materials processing, alongside engineers working in precision manufacturing.
