On the Lack of Understanding of the Scientific Theory of Gearing by the Majority of Gear Experts
摘要
The most common mistakes that result in misunderstanding of the scientific theory of gearing are briefly discussed in this section of the book. The discussion is focused primarily on the principal mistakes committed in the article (Stadtfeld HJ, Gear Solution, May, pp 42–50, 2019). It is shown that the so-called established theory on the development of which “… many scientists and gear engineers who worked on the theory and its improvement over approximately 100 years” is obsolete and inconsistent. It is recommended to avoid using this “theory” in design, production, and application of precision gearing.
