Mathematical Model and Tooth Surface Representation of Face-Gear Drive with Curvilinear-Tooth Cylindrical Gear

Article Preview

Abstract:

A tilted head-cutter is considered the generating tool for the generation of the proposed face-gear and a mathematical model of face-gear with curvilinear shaped teeth is developed according to the differential geometry and meshing theory. The generation of a conjugated pinion is based on application of a tilted head-cutter as well. Computer graphs of the gear with curvilinear shaped teeth are presented based on the developed gear’s mathematical model, and then the equation of the gear-tooth surface is deduced. An example is presented to demonstrate the application of the proposed mathematical model.
