Abstract

This paper is a short-illustrated survey of past designs in gearing systems as a tribute to the memory of Prof. Veniamin Goldfarb, who included in his expertise on Gearing Technology also its History. The paper outlines main gear designs that can be considered milestones in the development of Gearing Technology up today. Design aspects and evolutions are discussed with illustrative examples to show main aspects of the evolution of design solutions and expertise in geared systems with indication of challenges and future trends for a successful development of the field and its application to modern machine technology.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Prof. Veniamin Goldfarb (1940–2019) was a worldwide reputed scientist of gearing systems with a successful activity of technological transfer also with a production of industrial products, at Institute of Mechanics of Kalashnikov Izhevsk State Technical University. He was also a leader in IFToMM—International Federation for the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science (MMS) as being Vice-President and Chair of Technical Committee for Gears with several international activities among which it is to note that he was the initiator of SIOMMS, the IFToMM Student Olympiad on MMS.
