Abstract: To date, most of the multi-DOF (degree-of-freedom) epicyclic gear trains have been used as a series of one-DOF devices. Comparatively little is known with regard to the existence and synthesis ...

Abstract: In this paper, the trajectory of bevel planetary gear trains has been studied. The parametric equations of trajectory are derived. It is shown that the trajectory generated by a tracer point ...

Abstract: To inspect cam profile errors, a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is frequently employed. The coordinate data of discrete points at the cam surface are measured by a CMM in order to further ...
