Abstract
The spur gears discussed in Part 1 of this book have one principal disadvantage. During part of each meshing cycle there is a single pair of teeth in contact, while during the remainder of the cycle there are two. For each tooth pair in contact, the length of the contact line is equal to the gear face-width F. Hence, the total length of the contact line is either F or 2F, depending on the number of pairs of teeth in contact. And each time a tooth pair comes into contact or loses contact, the total length of the contact line either increases or decreases by F. These large and abrupt changes in the length of the contact line result in noisy operation of the gears.
