Crowned Spur Gears: Methods for Generation and Tooth Contact Analysis—Part 2: Generation of the Pinion Tooth Surface by a Surface of Revolution

Faydor L. Litvin, J. Zhang, Robert F. Handschuh

Abstract

A method for generation of crowned pinion tooth surfaces using a surface of revolution is developed. The crowned pinion meshes with a regular involute gear and has a prescribed parabolic type of transmission errors when the gears operate in the aligned mode. When the gears are misaligned the transmission error remains parabolic with the maximum level still remaining very small (less than 0.34 arc second for the numerical examples). Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA) is used to simulate the conditions of meshing, determine the transmission error, and the bearing contact.
