Abstract: A new type of spherical gear drive, which takes micro-segment involute profile as tooth profile, is presented in this paper. The generation principle of the spherical gear is described. The mathematical models including the equation of micro-segment involute profile, the equation of the conjugate tooth profile and the engagement equation, are established based on the meshing theory. This new type of spherical gear drive has the potential to improve the load capacity and the performance of spherical gear transmission.
