Gear Innovations has achieved a high level of analytical expertise integrating its Convoloid gearing designs with sophisticated and comprehensive stress and surface condition factor analysis programs and has very favorably compared Convoloid designs to known field successful involute baselines. “Apples to apples” detailed analyses of Convoloid gearing competing against involutes has consistently and convincingly shown its superiority in power density and the ability to achieve higher gear ratios in the same enclosed volume all while maintaining design indices favorably comparing to those of the involute baselines. Convoloid designs constrained by the performance indices of full-sized involute baseline designs show considerable weight and enclosed volume advantages among other application-specific characteristics.
Gear Innovations seeks technologically aggressive entities to commercialize the technology through efficient and effective business alternatives up to and including outright sale of the software, patents, know-how, and trademark.
It is the longer term view of Gear Innovations that the gear industry has elicited increasing power density from the involute curve for over 2 centuries and has reached the point of diminishing returns regarding involute forms, with the future tooth form paradigm for this industry being Convoloid gearing.
