Involute gears and their measurement

novembre 16, 2022
Gears with involute profile have the peculiarity that motion transmission takes place between two conjugated profiles which exchange normal forces, except for small friction components. In a much less technical way, it means that the side of the tooth is rounded, because a curve is described by a point of a straight line which rolls without slipping on a circumference called the base circumference. So, if we had to translate this process in a simplistic way we could represent it with two wheels in whose meeting point an imaginary inclined straight line passes which forms an angle. The latter rests on the straight line that intersects the two wheels at their meeting point and also determines the formal characteristics of the tooth.

Why is the involute gears used?

Certainly, the reasons are many, first of all the strength of the teeth remains constant in the direction. Also, if the distance between the centers of the two wheels changes, they continue to engage and maintain the same gear ratio. Another really important advantage is that the involute profile gears can be cut with a straight profile tool. This is because the teeth can be made by envelope, i.e. with a mutual movement between the tool and the wheel, very similar to that of meshing.
How to check the involute

The technology supports the control of the involute profile, in fact we use the involute gauge. However, it is necessary to support his work with a graph containing multiple measurements of the tooth. The machine measures the entire involute profile of the tooth and collects the data which is then processed and the control card created.

GSI is a supplier specialized in the creation and development of involute gears for your projects. Custom manufacture gears to your requirements for both batch and specific sizes.
