Timing-belt tensioning and planetary gearheads that maintain out-of-box backlash levels for life are just some of the topics covered in this mechanical reference guide. Backlash in geartrains can ...

Synchronous belts — originally known as timing belts — precisely match, or synchronize, the motion of two or more shafts. They keep shafts in synch because they have a toothed surface that meshes with ...
