Here’s a very neat idea Yelvington Trikes presented at the 2014 AIMExpo, a bike show which is getting underway in Florida as we write. The idea is not exactly a science breakthrough, but is a “why ...

Automatic shift transmissions were first introduced on a broad scale in the late 1930s, and while they were a novelty for many years, today they are very near a standard piece of equipment on most ...

This article was updated Feb. 28, 2023. It was originally published March 1, 2000. Planetary gears can supply high levels of torque and high-speed reduction. They are also relatively compact compared ...

Designers generally turn to gear reducers in servopositioning applications for two reasons. First, many applications require less speed and more torque than economically available from a servo-motor ...

Gears come in all shapes and sizes. They are the toothy wonders that make the world go around, and they're incredibly important in the operation of a motor vehicle. There's a more specific type of ...

According to Meineke, most automobiles use a form of automatic transmission called a hydraulic planetary automatic transmission, which is also used in a scaled-up version in some industrial and ...

According to the working characteristics of a 1.5MW wind turbine planetary gear system under complex and random wind load, a two-parameter Weibull distribution model is used to describe the ...

Pioneering automobiles typically do very little in terms of what we consider "conventional design choices," and the Ford Model T is no exception. Perhaps nowhere is this exemplified more than the ...

The SEW PPK planetary gear with a splined solid shaft and flange mount Available with torque ratings from 2 to 124 kNm, the SEW P2.e range covers gear ratios from 15,2 to 332:1 While most planetary ...
