Abstract

If no modification is made to the tooth flank of a face gear, a more time-consuming adjustment during spinning reel assembly will likely be required. Modification of the tooth flank with a transmission error (TE) controlled curve has proven to be robust against alignment errors. However, the TE controlled curve has proven weak against manufacturing errors on the face and the pinion gears, particularly involving the pressure angle error on the pinion gear. Conversely, the helix angle error on the pinion gear has been previously shown to have no effect on TE when a face gear has a TE controlled curve. This study focused on the relationship between the pressure and helix angles of a pinion gear with the objective of reducing TE and improving a spinning reel's rotational feel.
