Derivation of Path of Contact and Tooth Flank Modification by Minimizing Transmission Error on Face Gear

Abstract

This research report discusses how to derive a path of contact on a face gear. A sample was manufactured, in which tooth modification is taken into account, and the sample was investigated as to whether it is robust against alignment errors. It has been verified that the assembly operation can be improved in mass production line.
