Gears make the industrial world go ’round. And RIT engineering faculty and doctoral students are working to keep them moving efficiently. Gears transmit the motion necessary to operate the equipment ...

Design engineers face continuous pressure to enhance product performance while driving down costs. For many devices, converting metal components to plastic is an effective way of achieving both goals.

Non-circular gear mechanisms represent a transformative class of mechanical systems where traditional uniform circular geometries are replaced by variable, often complex, forms. These mechanisms ...

In the first of this two-part series, we explored how new computer-based modeling of geared systems is allowing the design of gear microgeometry for durability and lower noise, vibration, and ...

Have you ever wanted to make your own outdoor gear? On this episode of Outdoor Explorer host Paul Twardock interviews two professional gear designers to help answers questions covering concept to ...

It's a comprehensive gearknowledge system for eliminating noise and premature failure, reducing trial and error, lowering design and production costs, and cutting time to market. The software helps ...
