This book presents the latest accomplishments in Novikov/conformal gearing as well as high-conformal gearing. It is focused primarily on strength calculation of gear teeth and the manufacturing of gears for Novikov/conformal and high-conformal gearing along with a brief discussion of achievements in the modern theory of gearing. The modern theory of gearing is the foundation of all optimal designs of gears, gear-sets, and transmissions of all known designs, as well as, of all those to be developed in the future. As even a small improvement in efficiency on a single gear can represent a significant cost saving, given the millions of gears used in industry every year, this volume provides the design and manufacturing engineer in invaluable resource.

Stephen P. Radzevich, MS, PhD, Sc.Dr., is Principal, R&D Gear Transmission Engineer and retired Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering in Michigan. He has nearly 40 years in industry and academia creating software, hardware, and other processes for gear design and optimization. He has written numerous books and papers on gears and gear technologies, and holds patents for relevant inventions.
