Our team of precision measurement experts is dedicated to helping you implement advanced products and solutions to enhance your manufacturing processes. This white paper from Mahr highlights innovative approaches to measuring gear roughness, crucial for optimizing efficiency in various industries, including electromobility.

Mahr White Paper: Measuring Gear Roughness 1 The roughness of gears plays a pivotal role in the efficiency, torque, power throughput, and noise emissions of electric motors and transmissions. Traditional measurement systems have struggled to achieve the high precision and repeatability required for modern applications. Mahr’s Engineered Solutions address this challenge with advanced technologies capable of measuring surface finishes with an Rz of less than 1 µm, including fine waviness on gears. These solutions, based on the MarSurf series, offer different configurations tailored to specific workpiece sizes, weights, and measurement characteristics.

Mahr’s roughness measurement technology ensures that even the most challenging gear surfaces can be evaluated accurately and efficiently. This capability is particularly beneficial for industries such as automotive, mechanical engineering, and aviation, where high-precision gear surfaces are essential. By adopting Mahr’s solutions, manufacturers can achieve significant improvements in product quality, efficiency, and noise reduction, driving better performance in their applications.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
