Gleason has released a new edition of Practical Gear Engineering, a technical publication designed to give both gear engineering experts and engineers new to the field comprehensive solutions for many of today’s most common gear design and manufacturing issues.
Hermann Stadtfeld, vice-president (bevel-gear technology R&D) and the book’s author, said: “Many solutions to everyday gear engineering problems are simply not found in common textbooks and are not typically part of the curriculum in the engineering colleges.
"Gleason has published this latest Practical Gear Engineering to provide more insight into typical gear design and manufacturing solutions, and it focuses on topics considered relevant for a larger audience.”
This publication covers a complete range of gear design, manufacturing, optimisation, measurement and testing, and prototyping topics for both cylindrical and bevel gears.
Designed for easy understanding and supported with helpful illustrations and graphic material, it can be accessed for free at the Web site (
