BONFIGLIOLI
RIDUTTORITo provide designers with a flexible means of easy daily
consultation. This, in a nutshell, was the guiding aim in
preparing “POCKET FORMULA’.
Accommodating all necessary formulas in a co-ordinated
and logical scheme within the bounds of pocket sized
handbook was certainly a job requiring careful attention and
shows just how well BONFIGLIOLI RIDUTTORI understands
the needs of designers. To do a good job rapidly is not a
target that is always easily attained, but it is now a distinct
possibility with the aid of the POCKET FORMULA.BONFIGLIOLI RIDUTTORI S.P.A.
Established in 1956 under the name C.M.B. (Costruzioni
Meccaniche Bonfiglioli), the firm is the founding company
of the Bonfiglioli Group and is also one of the most well
known companies in the Bologna area where its head office
is situated. In its early days, the gearbox range comprised
5 types as follows: RA-MRA helical gearboxes; CAO-MCAO
right angle gearboxes; RAP parallel shaft gearboxes; RAE-
MRAE planetary gearboxes; and VF-MVF worm gearboxes.
The latter were responsible for BONFIGLIOLI RIDUTTORI’s
success by virtue of their quality, reliability and competitive
price. The firm’s position as European leader in this field
was brought about by ongoing development of products but,
above all, by the use of production equipment that is state-
of-the-art in the mechanical industry. From 1987 to the
present the company has invested over 28 million dollars in
machine tools and other equipment to enhance quality and
productive automation which has enabled it to achieve a
daily output of 3,500 gearboxes. Finally, BONFIGLIOLI
RIDUTTORI, the top Italian company in terms of turnover
and output, has recently endeavoured to obtain certified
approval of its quality control system - ISO 9001 - by DNV
Italy. This objective was duly achieved and was sought after
essentially by the Chairman with full co-operation from the
entire company. The product range includes: Worm gearboxes
/ gearmotors - Helical gearboxes / gearmotors - Parallel
shaft gearboxes / gearmotors - Right angle gearboxes /
gearmotors - Right angle transmission units - Shaft mounted
gearboxes - Mechanical epicyclic variable speed drives -
Belt variable speed drives.GEARMOTOR HANDBOOK
BONFIGLIOLI RIDUTTORI
This handbook is aimed at all those tackling the subject with a
scientific approach, be they university students or technicians
working in industry. Whit this in mind, BONFIGLIOLI RIDUTTORI
appointed four internationally renowned top flight professional
experts to write this comprehensive manual, spanning 600 pages,
on power transmission.INDEX

a) Relations between the functions of the same angle
sen? @ + cos? a =1
sena=v1-costa =tga/Vi+iga
cos a = Vi-senta =1/ Vi tiga
tga =sen a/cos «
ctg a =cos a/sen a = t/tg a
tga=sena/v1-sen?a
sec a= 1/cos a
cosec a = 1/sena
b) Relation between the functions of two angles
sen (a + 8) = sen a cos B + cos a sen
cos (a. + B) = cos a cos B + sen a sen B
tg (a + B) = (tga # tg B)/ (1 + tg a tg p)
¢} Multiples and sub multiples of an angle
sen2a=2senacosa
cos 2 « = cos? a - sen? « = 2 cos* a - 1
tg2a=2tga/(1-tg?a)
sen (a/2) = V(1 - cos a)/2
cos (a/2) = V(1 + cos a)/2
tg (a/2) = sen a/(1 + cos a)MAIN THEOREMS ON TRIANGLES
A) Right-angled triangle (a and b catheti, c hypotenuse, a and B
angles opposite to the catheti); a + B = 1/2 rad. B

a’ + b?= 0? c= Va? + b? (Pythagoras theorem)
B) Oblique-angled triangle (a, b, c being the triangle sides; a, B, y
being their relevant opposite angles); a + B + y= a rad =180
alsen a = b/sen B = c/sen y (theorem of sines)
C= a+bh-2abcosy (Carnot theorem)
- From the two sides a, b and angle y, find the third side ¢ and
angles a and p.

- Given two angles a, B and a leg a, find the third angle y and the
other two sides b, c.
y= 180-a-$; b=asenf/sena;c=aseny/sena
- Given a side ¢ and two adjacent angles a, B, find the third angle
y and the other two sides.
