The heat from the cutting process, especially using negative cutting angles when cutting steel, transfers to the chip, causing it to expand and jam in the slot. This can be prevented by splitting the chip. There are two common tooth geometries developed to split the chip: “Triple Chip” and “Notch Grind.”

Torsional vibrations are hard to measure because of the rotating elements (gears, shafts) that are inside a closed gear case and not easily accessible. However, knowing the exciting torque, passing through the gear train and the gear data, critical vibrations such as resonance can be calculated and analyzed. The calculations and theoretical analysis shown in this article show that much can be theoretically analyzed, where practical limitations exist.
