Gear noise isn’t just a post-production issue — it’s often rooted in pressure angle and contact ratio decisions made early in design. But tweaking these

Many engineers assume that simply using a larger gear will increase torque — but that’s not always true. This post is written to clear up

Working with both inch and metric gears can lead to mistakes if unit assumptions go unchecked. This post clears up confusion between DP (diametral pitch)

Designing gear systems across imperial and metric standards can quickly get messy. We’ve worked with audio, medical, and industrial clients who ran into sourcing headaches

Many engineers add idler gears to fix spacing or reverse direction—but don’t always know the cost trade-offs. This post clears up confusion around gear ratio,

When designing compact gear trains or small pinions, it’s easy to overlook how contact ratio affects smooth motion transfer. Below a certain point, gears start

Many engineers know contact ratio matters — but few know when it’s good enough, when it’s too low, or when it creates more problems than

Contact ratio is one of the most overlooked drivers of gear noise, smoothness, and wear. Designers often tweak materials or backlash, but neglect how the

Material selection in gear design is a performance-defining choice, not merely a manufacturing decision. Gear materials directly impact power transmission efficiency, service life, and overall
