Gear Forces calculation is often required in machine design such as a gear box, mechanisms and other. Gear Forces are generated from the gear meshing at tooth (theoretically at Pitch Circle). These forces will be acting on the shaft on which they are mounted as well as bearings or bush on which shaft is supported.

Metal Forming Metal forming is one of the 5 ways of Manufacturing Processes of metal components (Primary shaping, Joining, Material Treatment, Metal cutting, and metal forming). Metal Forming is defined by DIN 8580 as manufacturing through the three-dimensional or plastic modification of shape while retaining its mass and material cohesion. In contrast to deformation, forming is the

Rolling element bearing, also known as a rolling bearing or simply bearing is a part of rotating machinery that carries a load by placing rolling elements (such as balls or rollers) between two bearing rings. Bearing performs three functions – Support the shaft, Carry the load from the shaft, and reduce friction. The importance of rolling-element bearing

What is a Railway Bogie? Just like the chassis of your passenger car, the bogie of a Locomotive is an essential part of the train. However, a bogie has much more function to perform than a normal automobile chassis. The Bogie of a Railway Locomotive is hardly noticed by the passengers but its role is
