As a gearing executive at KHK USA, Dengel’s answer would be along the lines of: “Gears that use ‘module’ as the measurement ...

Whether you have a mechanical limited-slip differential (LSD) in your car you stand to benefit from knowing how one works. Not so you can know how to fix it or anything—just because they’re a ...

Gears, especially in open gearing applications, share a set of well-known performance problems that crop up again and again across many different applications. The most common ones include excessive ...

Many mechanical devices have been inspired by examples in nature, but it’s not often that nature replicates something only known to be made by human beings. Meet Issus coeleoptratus, more commonly ...

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have made light-powered gears on a micrometre scale, an advance with myriad uses including micromotors in medicine and lab-on-a-chip systems. The third gear ...

The small hopping insect Issus coleoptratus uses toothed gears (magnified above with an electron microscope) to precisely synchronize the kicks of its hind legs as it jumps forward. All images ...

A mechanical engineering master's degree that focuses on the in-depth examination of dynamics, robotics, nanotechnology, biomechanics, and energy systems to prepare you to enter a career in industry ...
