Gears
A Comparison of Surface Roughness Measurement Methods for Gear Tooth Working Surfaces
Surface roughness is a critical parameter for gears operating under a variety of conditions. It directly influences friction and contact temperature, and therefore has an impact on various failure modes such as macropitting, micropitting and scuffing...
