Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we present a novel approach to three‐dimensional mathematical gearing theory. We start from a general formulation of the so called basic law of gear kinematics. Based on that we derive an analytic closed form solution for the generation of conjugate tooth flanks, given a (local) parametric representation for any prescribed flank profile. Also, we study the problem of constructing pairs of tooth flanks that give rise to a prescribed surface of action. Surfaces of action will be represented in an implicit global rather than in a parametric way. To illustrate the general theory, we consider a number of specific examples including the standard involute profile for spur gears as well as a more sophisticated three‐dimensional generalization of that (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
