Abstract
Outer cycloid gears are used widely in many instruments and machines. The outer cycloid slotting cutter is an important cutting tool used in the manufacturing of this type of gear. In the process of design, the ideal outer cycloid cutter is one where a cylindrical surface takes the tooth profile of the outer cycloid as the directrix. However, during the manufacturing process, it is used as a cutter and therefore a cutting edge is required. As a result, it will be seen that the processes of design and usage of the outer cycloid cutter are not the same. The range of the qualified length of tooth is deduced in this paper by using the mid-point and mid-line method. This paper also presents the associated outer cycloid slotting cutter design and manufacturing models so that the modelling accuracy and the necessary relief angles of the top cutting edge and side cutting edge can be ensured. This paper is intended as a reference to be used in the manufacture and application of this type of slotting cutter.
