ABSTRACT

Noncircular gear pairs are designed and manufactured solely with the goal of transmitting a power from a driving gear to a driven gear with a prespecified function of the gear ratio, that is, u = u(φinput). The generation of tooth flanks of a gear and mating pinion in a perfect noncircular gear pair is executed on the premise of the vector. The principle of the generation of tooth flanks, G and P, of a gear and a mating pinion by means of a desired line of contact, LCdes, that is associated with the plane of action, PA, can be enhanced for generation of the tooth flanks of gears for noncircular gearing. In the case of parallel-axes gearing (Pa-gearing): an instant location ( rg, rp, and P), an instant orientation (ϕtϕ db.g, and db.p), and the instant speed, V/ω, of the plane of action, PA, are specified.
