Company History
Started in 1993, Quality Transmission Components is an
operating division of Designatronics, Inc. Since its inception
in 1960, Designatronics serves a worldwide customer base in
excess of 15,000 firms ranging from Fortune 100 companies
to individual inventors. The company occupies 139,000 sq.
ft. of warehouse and manufacturing space on Long Island,
New York.
In 1993, the combination of an ever-increasing demand
for metric gears and a strong growth in demand for power
transmission products spawned Quality Transmission
Components. Designatronics capitalized on its relationship
with Kohara Gear (KHK), and Quality Transmission
Components became the exclusive North American distributor
of their complete product line. In 2006, Quality Transmission
Components shipped over 30,000 metric gears to users,
making us the largest supplier of stock metric gears in the
United States.
In 2000, Quality Transmission Components saw the
opportunity to expand our product line. We added the
Zetasassi line of belt and chain tensioners. We then added
neoprene timing belts, aluminum, steel and nylon timing
pulleys, roller chain and planetary gearheads. We also
became a distributor of Davall Stock Gears representing
their inch gear line in the North American marketplace. All
of these products are marketed under the Econobelt brand
name.
Quality Transmission Components' selection of off-the-shelf
power transmission components now includes almost 13,000
items including:

QTC Stock Gear Selection Methods


Please refer to this page when you are selecting gears.

Selecting Gears Based on Gear Strength

Step 1

Approximate the type of gear, strength and torque load.

Definition of Bending Strength

Definition of Surface Durability

The allowable bending strength of a gear


is defined as the allowable tangential force
at the pitch circle based on the mutually
allowable root stress of two meshing gears
under load.

The surface durability of a gear is defined as


the allowable tangential force at the pitch circle,
which permits the force to be transmitted safely
without incurring surface failure.

Step 2

Example of the defacement


due to insufficient surface
Make a tentative selection based on the torque load using the KHK catalog or the Web catalog. durability.
Example of the failure due to
insufficient bending strength.

The KHK catalog is used for the tentative selection.

Step 3

The Web catalog is used for the tentative selection.

After calculating the required strength using the actual conditions of usage, examine the selection made in Step 2.

The formal strength calculation can be performed using the various


formulas.

If the Web catalog is used, the strength can be


easily confirmed.

(2) Equation - Bending Strength


In order to confirm an acceptable safe bending strength, it is
necessary to analyze the applied tangential force at the working
pitch circle, Ft, vs. allowable force, Ftlim. This is stated as:
Ft Ftlim
(1.4)
It should be noted that the greatest bending stress is at the root of
the flank or base of the dedendum.
Then Equation (1.4) becomes Equation (1.5)
Ft sFlim
(1.5)
Equation (1.6) presents the calculation of Ftlim:

mnb KLKFX 1
Ftlim = sFlim ()
(kgf) (1.6)
YFYeYb KVKO SF

Equation (1.6) can be converted into stress by Equation (1.7):

YFYeYb KVKO
sF = Ft () SF
(kgf/mm2) (1.7)

QTC Stock Gear Selection


There are many ways to select gears depending on which parameters are more
important than others such as the strength, size, precision, and speed ratio. As
a guide, we have introduced "Selecting Gears Based on Strength" and "Selecting
Gears Based on Use".
Selecting Gears Based on Use
Example 5: Cost performance

Example 1: High Speed Rotation

For applications requiring noise and vibration reductions in high speed gear
drives, we recommend the ground gears (items with letter G in catalog
numbers). Using helical gears will increase the contact ratio, leading to smoother
transmission.
Example

The more production steps, the higher the cost. For example, the SS series which
goes thru steps of - raw material, turning, gear cutting, and black oxide - has
excellent cost-performance ratio. The Injection Molded Gears and Sintered Gears are
also products with high cost-performance figures due to mass production.

MSGA Ground Spur Gears


JIS N5 Class (OLD JIS1)
Overall carburizing

Example

SS Steel Spur Gears


DS Injection Molded Spur Gears
LS Sintered Metal Spur Gears

SSG Ground Spur Gears


JIS N7 Class (OLD JIS3)
Tooth surface induction
hardened

Example 2: High Strength (compact design)

Example 6: Availability of Secondary Operations

Generally, the size of gears is proportional to load capacity. To make the design
compact requires the use of alloys (SCM415, SCM440) with heat treating. We
recommend catalog parts that start with letter M or K.

Please note that heat treated items have hard surfaces. While they gain the strength,
they lose the ability of secondary operations to be performed.
Example
MSGA Ground Spur Gears
Overall carburizing (Secondary operations
not possible)
SSG Ground Spur Gears
Tooth surface Induction hardened
(Secondary operations possible except the
tooth)
SS Steel Spur Gears
No heat treatment (Secondary operations
possible)

Example

MSGA Ground Spur Gears


SCM415 overall carburizing
KHG Ground Helical Gears
Tooth surface induction
hardened

Example 7: High Reduction Ratios

Example 3: Backlash Considerations

In order to minimize the backlash, use high precision parts with ability to adjust center
distances. KHK carries, as standard products, items with ability to adjust backlash such
as Tapered Racks and Pinions and Duplex Worms and Worm Wheels.

We recommend the use of Worm Gear Pair or High Ratio Hypoid Gears.
It is also possible to obtain high reduction ratios by forming planetary gear
systems using spur and internal gears.
Example
Worm Gear Reduction Ratios
1/101/151/201/301/40
1/501/601/801/1001/120

Example

Tapered Racks & Pinions


KTSCP, STRCPF

High Ratio Hypoid Gear Reduction Ratios


1/151/201/301/451/60
1/901/1201/1801/200

Duplex Worms, Worm Wheels


KWGDL(S), AGDL

Example 4: Calculating and Positioning

Example 8: Rust Prevention

It is very convenient to use CP Racks and Pinions for positioning applications. We


recommend using ground gears for use in calculating to reduce pitch errors.

Stainless steel and plastic material are suitable where rust will cause problems such
as in food and chemical processing equipment. KHK uses these materials in the
manufacture of many kinds of spur, rack, miter, bevel, screw and worm gears.

By chamfering the corners of the top land, gear noise is reduced, and the chances of damage due to handling and transportation are decreased. All KHK gears larger
than m1.5 have their teeth chamfered.
Black oxide coating is a film of triferotetraoxide (Fe3O4), a kind of rust, which is applied to the gear surface to help resist rusting.

KHK Technical Information

Selection Hints
Please select the most suitable products by carefully considering the characteristics of items and contents of the product tables.
It is also important to read all applicable CAUTION notes before the final selection.
Use of catalog numbers when ordering will simplify and expedite the processing of your order.

1.Caution in selecting the mating Gears

2. Caution in Selecting Gears Based on Gear Strength


The gear strength values shown in the product pages were computed
by assuming a certain application environment. Therefore, they should
be used as reference only. We recommend that each user computes his
own values by applying the actual usage conditions.
NSU spur gears with steel core and PU plastic gears with stainless
steel core require additional considerations of holding strength
between plastic and metal. Also, SUSL Fairloc hub spur gears, DSL
Fairloc hub spur gears and SSAY/K spur gears with built-in clamps
need additional considerations of the starting torque. The table below
contains the assumptions established for various products in order to
compute gear strengths.

Basically, all spur gears, internal gears and racks can be paired as
long as the module matches. The product with different materials,
tooth widths, or methods of cutting the teeth can be mated.
When using a pinion with an internal gear with a small difference
in the numbers of teeth, there are possibilities for involute
interference, trochoid interference and trimming interference. See
the internal gear interference portion of the technical section to
avoid problems in assembling these items.

Definition of bending strength


The allowable bending
strength of a gear is defined
as the allowable tangential
force at the p itch circle
based on the mutually
allowable root stress of two
meshing gears under load.

NOTE 1: JGMA (Japanese Manufacturers


Association), MC Nylon Technical
Data of Nippon Polypenco Limited
and Duracon Gear of Polyplastic Co.

The units for rotational speed
(rpm) and the load (kgf/mm2) were
matched to the units needed in the
equation.
NOTE 2: Since the load is bidirectional,
the allowable bending stress at
root Flim, calculated from JGMA
401-01, is set to 2/3 of the value.
NOTE 3: The values for DS m 0.5 gears were
assumed by KHK.

Definition of surface durability


The surface durability of
a gear is defined as the
allowable tangential force
at the pitch circle, which
per mits the force to be
transmitted safely without
incurring surface failure.

Example of the failure due to


insufficient bending strength.

Example of the defacement


due to insufficient surface
durability.

Spur Gears

3.Caution with Regard to the Special Characteristics of Various Products

4. Other Points to Consider in Selection Process

MSGA (B) series of ground gears are carburized and therefore


no secondary operations can be performed. Also, even though
the keyways are made according to JIS B1301 standard,
Js 9 tolerance, the heat treating process may produce some
deformations.
SSGS ground pinion shafts with 10 and 11 teeth are profile
shifted gears (x=+0.5) and therefore cannot be assembled to the
center distance of gears that are not profile shifted gears (x=0).
The black oxide finish is somewhat effective in preventing rust
but is not rustproof.
SUS stainless steel gears have high degrees of antirust property,
but are not totally rustproof.
When selecting SUSL Fairloc hub spur gears, it is possible in
some cases for the gears to slip on the shaft before the gear teeth
fail due to loads.
When selecting NSU plastic spur gears with steel core, it is
possible in some cases for the holding strength between the
metal core and the molded plastic to be less than the gear
strength. As for details of the holding strength please refer to
pages 108~109.
Due to their material, the quality of PS plastic spur gears may be
affected by significant variations in temperature or humidity. As
for details please refer to pages 32~33.
Due to a large coefficient of heat expansion of nylon, if these
gears are to be used without lubrication, we recommend that the
mating gears be metal gears, which can transmit heat, preventing
temperature build-up.
SSR ring gears are easily deformable and may develop changes
in dimensions.
SSAY, SSY spur gears and DS injection molded spur gears have
narrow face widths. However, it is possible to mesh them with
other gears (SS, SSA...) with wide face widths.

There are various footnotes to the product pages under the


headings of CAUTION. Please consider them carefully when
selecting these products.
There may be slight differences in color or shape of products
shown in the photograph from the actual products.
KHK reserves the right to make changes in specifications and
dimensions without notice.
KHK is ready to produce and supply custom order products.
When you require specific gears different from KHK Stock
Gears please contact our distributor for quotation. Also, please

Tapping & Keyway Slotting

1. Caution on Performing Secondary Operations


Most KHK gears can be modified by the user. Please
note the following points.
If you are reboring, it is important to pay special attention to
locating the center in order to avoid runout.
The reference datum for gear cutting is the bore. Therefore, use
the bore for locating the center. If it is too difficult to do for
small bores, the alternative is to use one spot on the bore and the
runout of the side surface.
If the rework requires using scroll chucks, we recommend the
use of new or rebored jaws for improved precision. If chucking
by the teeth, please apply the pressure carefully to avoid
crushing the teeth which will lead to noisy gears.

T o avoid problems of reduced gear precision and other


manufacturing difficulties, do not attempt to machine the gears
to reduce face widths.
T he bore tolerance of DS injection molded spur gears is
generally -0.10 to -0.05, but may be +values at the central
portion of the hole. Remachining the bore is not recommended
since reworking may expose voids in the plastic.
11 SUSL Fairloc gears cannot be rebored. They may be pinned
provided caution is exercised not to deform the slots in the hubs.
12 When heat-treating S45C products, it is possible to get thermal
stress cracks. It is best to subject them to penetrant inspection
afterwards. If tooth strength is not sufficient, it can be increased
approximately four times by heat-treating. On the other hand,
the precision of the gear will drop about one grade.

Lathe Operations

Heat Treatment
1) Induction heat treatment of S45C products should
conform with the reference data below;
Heat treatment temperature - 800~900C
Tempering temperature 200~250C
Hardness 48~53HRC
2) In general, gears made from S45C have not been heattreated. The user can heat-treat as required, but some
deformation will be introduced. Ordinarily, a grinding
process is needed after heat-treatment. Otherwise, the
precision grade will drop about one grade.

The maximum bore size is dictated by the requirement that the


strength of the hub is to be higher than that of the gear teeth.
MSGA (B) ground spur gears (material SCM415) are wholly
carburized so that no secondary operations can be performed.
SSG ground spur gear teeth are induction hardened past the tooth root
(approximately 1mm deep). Therefore, care must be exercised when
performing secondary operations on the bores or adding keyways.

3) SUS303 and 304 belong to austenite family and cannot


be hardened. To harden stainless, there are martensitic
series, such as SUS420J2.
4) The induction hardened depth is approximately 1mm.
However, the hardening process does not completely
reach the root of the gear tooth at the center portion of
the face width.

29

Spur Gears
2. Points of Caution in Assembling
KHK stock spur gears are designed to give the proper backlash
when assembled using the center distance given by the formula
below. The amount of backlash is given in the product table for
each gear. For SSGS ground gears with 10 or 11 teeth, however,
the profile is shifted (x = +0.5) so that the center distances are
given in tables below the product table.

Verify that the two shafts are parallel. Incorrect assembly will
lead to uneven teeth contact which will cause noise and wear.
(After assembly, the gear mesh can be checked by applying a
contact pattern compound and rotating the gears.)

a=m(Z1+Z2)/2
where

Poor tooth contact and pitting

a = center distance
m =module

This picture is an example of poor tooth contact of an SSG3-30


gear which had only 30% of the gear tooth in proper contact. In this
example the gear oil used is equivalent to JIS gear oil category 2,
No.3, and the design conditions were 417N.m load torque at 278
min-1 (12 kW) which was 1.5 times the allowable bending strength
and 3 times the allowable surface durability torque. The pitting
occurred on the poor tooth contact area after 60 hours of continuous
operation.

Z1 =no. of teeth of pinion


Z2 =no. of teeth of gear

Center Distance Tolerance


Old standard JGMA113-01, Center Distance Tolerance,
specified plus side tolerance of H7 - H8. In the new standard,
JGMA1101-01:2000, it was decided that it is more desirable to
specify +/- tolerance especially in gear train applications.

A gear may slip on the shaft or move axially while in motion if


it is not firmly fastened to the shaft. Step shafts, collars and set
screws are some of the ways to secure the gears.
Keyways are generally used as the method of engaging the
gears with the axis. There is also a method of the setting with
a MACHALOCK, Posi-Lock, and Shupanring, etc. which are
parts for engaging the hole and the axis.

Method for Adjusting Backlash


Backlash may be adjusted by changing the center distance of
mating gears. For more information, please consult the technical
section on gear backlash.

Assembly should be performed cautiously to avoid damage to


the gears or injuries to the worker.

KHK Technical Information

4. Other Points to Consider in Applications


KHK products are individually packaged to avoid damage.
Depending on how they are handled, it is still possible to deform
or break them. It is important to exercise care in handling these
parts.

Check the products as they are being taken out of the boxes. If
any of them are rusted, scratched or dented, please return to the
dealer where they were bought, for exchange.

I f there is unusual noise or vibration at the start up or


insufficient lubrication after the start up, please recheck the
gears and correctness of the assembly. Some of the methods for
achieving noise reduction are:
(a) High Precision
(b) Fine Tooth Surface Finish
(c) Accurate Tooth Contact
The followings are the gear lubrication methods in general use:
(a) Grease Lubrication
(b) Splash Lubrication (Oil Bath Method)
(c) Forced Oil Circulation Lubrication
Check lubrication after start up. Sometimes, when the unit is
initially being operated, lubricating oil deteriorates rapidly.

KHK cannot guarantee the precision of gears once the customer


performs a secondary operation on them.

Characteristics of Plastic Gears
The quality of plastic gears (MC) may change due to variations of ambient temperature and humidity. The following useful data is provided to help the user with
correct selection.
Thermal Properties of Plastic Materials

Thermal Properties
Dimensions of MC nylon gears change with temperature. KHK MC nylon
gears are cut in the ambient temperature of 20to 30C(68~86F).Some
dimensional changes could be expected in summer and winter.
We present the thermal deflection property of several plastics under load.

Dimensions of MC nylon gears change with moisture content. This may


cause the sizes to vary from the time of purchase to the time of usage. The
following table and the chart show the moisture content and its effect on
the dimensions of MC901 nylon.

MC nylon products are mainly used in food and chemical machinery.


However, there are limitations depending on the environment. Generally,
MC nylon is resistant against organic agents but weak against acids. We list
the chemical resistance properties of MC nylon against various substances.
Since the reaction may vary depending on the applications, it is important
to test it before processing. The MC Nylon that is approved for food contact
by the US FDA is MC907. Gears can be custom made from this material.

Chemical Resistance Properties

If you were to use NSU, PU or PS Plastic gears without lubricants, the


meshing two nylon gears generates heat and they expand. We recommend
metal gears for mating gears.

6.5

Melting point

For plastic materials, it is difficult to determine the operating temperature


below which there is no harmful effect from long term, continuous operation.
In general, it is set by actual usage experience, though it is said to be 20 to
30 below the thermal deflection temperature.
There is not much data on low temperature limits. Users should rely on their
own experience taking the brittleness properties into consideration.

How is MC nylon fused to the metal core


2. Advantage of MC nylon with metal core

This method is superior to other conventional methods such as


bolting, shrink fitting and bonding.

(1) Wide temperature range


There are examples of wheel use in furnaces at 130 to 140C
(2) Good dimensional stability
Since nylon is fused to the whole outer surface of the metal hub, dimensional
change is very small even under temperature variations.
(3) Metal-hub rim may be thin
Even if there is not sufficient material to pass a bolt into the rim, the hub can
be fixed by means of a bonding method.
(4) Good appearance
Elimination of bolts and nuts provides a cleaner physical appearance .
(5) Cost savings
In general, it is more economical than attaching with bolts, especially in large
quantities.

1. Outline of the procedure


The surface of the core material is
rolled with a 2mm pitch diamond
knurl. Then one or more grooves
(1~2mm wide and 1mm deep) are
cut as shown on the right.
The metal surface is treated prior to
casting nylon in a mold.

NOTE 2: The allowable torques shown in the table are calculated values according to the assumed usage conditions.
Please see page 27 for more details.
NOTE 3: The backlash values shown in the table are the theoretical values of a pair of identical gears in mesh.

This picture is an example of poor tooth


contact of an SSG3-30 gear which had only
30% of the gear tooth in proper contact. In
this example the gear oil used is equivalent
to JIS gear oil category 2, No.3, and the
design conditions were 417 N.m load torque
at 278 min-1 (12 kW) which was 1.5 times the
allowable bending strength and 3 times the
allowable surface durability torque.
The pitting occurred due to poor tooth contact
area after 60 hours of continuous operation.

NOTE 1: Since 10- and 11-tooth gears are profile shifted gears (x=+0.5), please note that the center distance must be obtained by using the formulas for profile shifted gears.
NOTE 2: Secondary operations may be performed on these gears except for modification of the gear face width.

Center distance when gear has 12 to 30 teeth (unit:mm)


Number(x=+0.5)

The following tables present the center distances


when a profile shifted module 1 spur gears (x=+0.5)
with 10 or 11 teeth meshes with standard stock spur
gear (x=0). Multiply the values with the module of
gears for other than module 1 gears.

How does it work?


K-Clamp uses a crescent shaped piece,
optimum for the size of the shaft, as a pressure
wedge to secure the gear on the shaft.
Hexagonal Socket Head Screw
Crescent Shaped
Pressure Wedge
Shaft

*The sizes and shapes of the K-clamps are


standardized for various bore sizes.

Application Hints
1. The slipping torque is affected by the fits and
clamping surface conditions. Remove as much
lubricant as possible, and use the same size
shaft as the bore with h7 or better tolerances.
2. K-clamp gears are suitable for relatively small
gears in light loads with the bore size ranging
between 6 and 12 mm. The gear will slip on the
shaft when the actual load exceeds the slipping
torque. The use of a key in addition to the Kclamp is recommended for heavier loads or large
bores sizes. This modification must be done at
the KHK factory.

NOTE 2: The slipping torques shown was experimentally obtained by attaching the gears to shafts with g6 tolerance and 0.4a surface finish. The clamping area was wiped with a cloth to remove excess oil.
NOTE 3: The backlash values shown in the table are the theoretical values of a pair of identical gears in mesh.

CAUTION: Although the sintering process allows for the inclusion of oil to maintain lubricity, these gears have not been oil impregnated.
CAUTION: The rust prevention process involves treating the gears with steam (in effect, creating surface oxidation). A black oxide treatment cannot be done on these gears.
CAUTION: Gears with wider face widths such as SS and SSA series can be used as the mating gears to these.
NOTE 1: The bore1 is machined to minus tolerance so that the gear can simply be pressed onto the shaft. You can also open up the bore.

Characteristics of Sintered Steel Spur Gears


1. The cost is minimized due to the elimination of machining costs and a reduction in wasted material.
2. High precision for sintered products (JIS N8 Class). Has high reliability for maintaining its precision.
3. Oil-impregnated sintering creates interconnecting pores in which lubricating oil is stored for long, trouble-free operations.

Fastening torque vs. Slip torque

!Fastening torque vs. Slip torque

The slip torque which is dependent on the fastening torque


can sometimes be less than the gear strength. Please
use caution in selecting. The chart on the right shows the
relationship between the slip torque and the fastening torque.

NOTE 1: Even though the holding strength at the material interface is designed to be stronger than the teeth, a secondary operation may weaken the holding strength.
When the core O.D. is the same as the hub diameter, you may see some serration on the hub. There is no effect on the strength of the gear.

NOTE 1

NOTE 1: The bore tolerance at the time of production is H8. Significant variations in temperature or humidity can cause
dimensional changes plastic gears (MC Nylon). Please see page 32 for more details.

USEFUL HINT
A key, taper pin, roll or spiral pin, set screw or
pressed bushing can be used to fasten a plastic
gear to a shaft. For conditions shown below, there
is a tendency for the gear to loosen. Therefore, a
metal hub must be used to fix the gear:
1. When the ambient temperature is high.
2. When the gear diameter is large.
3. When the gear is subjected to reversing load
which causes high impact on the key.

Metal

Metal

The diagrams on the right are three examples


of methods for fastening plastic gears to metal
hubs. If the shape of a gear is not suitable for bolt
fastening, then the overmolding of plastic on a
metal hub is recommended (shown in the far right
diagram).

Selection Hints

Characteristics
KHK stock helical gears are quiet, compact and economical. They
are suitable wherever you require high-speed rotation including in
machine tools, speed reducers and other industrial machinery.

KHG

It is important to thoroughly understand the contents of the product


tables as well as CAUTION notes before making the selection.
You must specify the right or left hand by including the letter R or
L in the catalog number when ordering.

Ground Helical Gears

Have excellent strength and wear resistance which allow your


designs to be more compact.
Secondary operations are possible permitting modifications to
suit your design.
U se of a transverse module allows interchangeability with
straight spur gears of the same module and numbers of teeth
at the same center distance. This feature is very convenient
when switching from spur gears to helical gears due to the gear
strength or the noise considerations.
The use of CBN grinding wheels produces consistent precision
with shorter grinding time, making these products easily
affordable.

1. Caution in Selecting the Mating Gears.

SH helical gears fit a wide range of applications which have


made them popular choices for many years.
Since helical gears have larger contact ratios than the equivalent
SS spur gears, they are effective in reducing noise and vibration.

2. Caution in Selecting Gears Based on Gear Strength

3. Caution with Regard to the Special Characteristics of Helical Gears


K HG ground helical gears and SH helical gears are not
interchangeable due to different module systems, pressure angle
designations and helix angles. The illustration below shows the
difference between the transverse module of KHG type and the
normal module of SH type gears.

Allowable bending strength and surface durability values shown


in product tables were computed by assuming a certain application
environment. They should be used as reference only. We
recommend that each user computes his own values by applying
the actual usage conditions.

NOTE 1: The formula for gear strength is based on JGMA Standard. The units
for the rotational speed (min-1) and the load (kgf/mm2) were matched
to the units needed in the equation.
NOTE 2: Since the load is bidirectional, the allowable bending stress at root
Flim is set to 2/3 of the value.

Definition of bending strength


The allowable bending
strength of a gear is defined
as the allowable tangential
force at the pitch circle
based on the mutually
allowable root stress of two
meshing gears under load.

Definition of surface durability


The surface durability of
a gear is defined as the
allowable tangential force
at the pitch circle, which
per mits the force to be
transmitted safely without
incurring surface failure.

Example of the failure due


to insufficient bending
strength.

Example of the defacement


due to insufficient surface
durability.

1. Caution on Performing Secondary Operations

T o avoid problems of reduced gear precision and other


manufacturing difficulties, do not attempt to machine the gears
to reduce face widths.
KHG Ground Helical Gears are already stress relieved. But if
you subject them to a heavy turning operation such as removing
the hubs, the residual stress may cause deformation.
W hen heat-treating SH Helical Gears, it is possible to get
thermal stress cracks. It is best to subject them to penetrant
inspection afterwards. If the tooth strength is not sufficient, it
can be increased approximately four times by heat-treating. On
the other hand, the precision of the gear will drop about one
grade.

Most KHK gears can be modified by the user. Please note the
following points.
If you are reboring, it is important to pay special attention to
locating the center in order to avoid runout.
The reference datum for gear cutting is the bore. Therefore,
use the bore for locating the center. If it is too difficult to do for
small bores, the alternative is to use one spot on the bore and the
runout of the side surface.
If the rework requires using scroll chucks, we recommend the
use of new or rebored jaws for improved precision. If chucking
by the teeth, please apply the pressure carefully to avoid
crushing the teeth which will lead to noisy gears.
Lathe Operations

Heat Treatment
1) Induction Heat treatment of S45C products should
conform with the reference data below.
Heat treatment temperature - 800~900C
Tempering temperature 200~250C
Hardness 48~53HRC
2) In general, gears made from S45C have not been heattreated. The user can heat-treat as required, but some
deformation will be introduced. Ordinarily, a grinding
process is needed after heat-treatment. Otherwise, the
precision grade will drop about one grade.
3) SUS303 and SUS304 belong to austenite family and
cannot be hardened. To harden stainless, there are
martensitic series, such as SUS420J2.
4) The induction hardened depth is approximately 1mm.
However, the hardening process does not completely
reach the root of the gear tooth at the center portion of
the face width.

The maximum bore size is dictated by the requirement that the


strength of the hub must be higher than that of the gear teeth.
I n order to avoid stress concentrations, leave radii on the
keyway corners.

KHK Technical Information

2. Points of Caution in Assembling


K HK stock helical gears are designed to give the proper
backlash when assembled using the center distance given by the
formula on the right (center distance tolerance of H7~H8). The
amount of backlash is given in the product table for each gear.
Because of the helix of the gear teeth, helical gears in mesh
produce thrust forces in the axial directions. The axial thrust
bearings must be able to resist these forces. The direction of
the thrust forces depend on the helix hand and the direction of
rotation as shown below
Please refer to overall length tolerance for Helical Gears on page
30.

The followings are the gear lubrication methods in general use:


(a) Grease Lubrication
(b) Splash Lubrication (Oil Bath Method)
(c) Forced Oil Circulation Lubrication
Check lubrication after start up. Sometimes, when the unit is
initially being operated, lubricating oil deteriorates rapidly.

Before operating, check the following:


Are the gears firmly mounted on the shafts?
Have you eliminated uneven tooth contact?
Does the gear mesh have the proper amount of backlash?
(Please avoid the condition of no backlash.)
Is there sufficient lubrication?
If the gears are exposed, install a safety cover for protection.
Never touch gears while they are in motion.
I f there is unusual noise or vibration at the start up or
insufficient lubrication after the start up, please recheck the
gears and correctness of the assembly. Some of the methods for
achieving noise reduction are:
(a) High Precision
(b) Fine Tooth Surface Finish
(c) Accurate Tooth Contact

4. Other Points to Consider in Applications


KHK products are individually packaged to avoid damage.
Depending on how they are handled, it is still possible to deform
or break them. It is important to exercise care in handling these
parts.
Check the products as they are being taken out of the boxes. If
any of them are rusted, scratched or dented, please return to the
dealer where they were bought, for exchange.
KHK cannot guarantee the precision of gears once the customer
performs a secondary operation on them.

Selection Hints

Formula

Please select the most suitable products by carefully considering the


characteristics of items and contents of the product tables. It is also
important to read all applicable notes before the final selection. Use
of catalog numbers when ordering will simplify and expedite the
processing of your order.

Formula of spur and helical gears on surface durability (JGMA402-01)

100cSt(50)
Symmetric support by bearings
49kgf/mm2
1.15

NOTE 1:The gear strength formula is based on JGMA (Japanese Gear


Manufacturers Association) The units for the rotational speed (min-1) and
the stress (kgf/mm2) are adjusted to the units needed in the formula.
NOTE 2: Since the load is bidirectional, the allowable bending stress at root
Flim calculated is set to 2/3 of the value.

Most KHK stock spur gears may be used as the mating gears except
CP spur gears and gears with large numbers of teeth. When the
difference in the numbers of teeth between an internal gear and its
mating gear is small, involute interference, trochoid interference or

3. Other Points to Consider in Selection Process


There are various footnotes to the product pages under the
headings of NOTES. Please consider them carefully when
selecting these products.
There may be slight differences in color or shape of products
shown in the photograph from the actual products.
KHK reserves the right to make changes in specifications and
dimensions without notice.
KHK is ready to produce and supply custom order products. When
you require specific gears different from KHK Stock Gears please
contact our distributor for quotation. Also, please refer to page 16

2.Caution in Selecting Gears Based on Gear Strength


The gear strength values shown in the product pages were computed
by assuming a certain application environment. Therefore, they
should be used as reference only. We recommend that each user
computes his own values by applying the actual usage conditions.
The table on the right contains the assumptions established for these
products in order to compute gear strengths.

Definition of bending strength


The allowable bending
strength of a gear is defined as
the allowable tangential force
at the pitch circle based on the
mutually allowable root stress
of two meshing gears under
load.

Definition of surface durability


The surface durability of a gear
is defined as the allowable
tangential force at the pitch
circle, which permits the force
to be transmitted safely without
incurring surface failure.

Example of the failure due


to insufficient bending
strength.

durability.

KHK Technical Information

Selection Hints
Please select the most suitable products by carefully considering the characteristics of items and contents of the product tables. It is also important to
read all applicable notes before the final selection. Use of catalog numbers when ordering will simplify and expedite the processing of your order.

1. Caution in Selecting the Mating Gears

Selection

With the exception of helical racks, KHK stock racks can mate with
any spur gears of the same module. However, the face width of a
rack may not match that of the mating gear.
There are limited choices of mating gears for KRHG (F) ground
helical racks and SH helical racks. Make sure to take the hand of
helix into account when choosing. (See table on the right.)

Grade

The following method was used to establish our own precision grades
of racks. First, the length of the rack is divided by pi (p ) to obtain the
pitch diameter of an equivalent spur gear of the same module. Then,
JIS B 1702:1976 Standards, Precision of Spur and Helical Gears, are
applied to this equivalent spur gear to obtain the error tolerances of
precision grades 1 to 8.

Application Hints

4. Caution with Regard to the Special Characteristics


The black oxide finish is somewhat effective in preventing rust but
is not rustproof.
With treatments such as solution heat treatment* and passivation**,
SUR(F) and SURO stainless steel racks can resist rusting to a great
degree; yet they are not totally rustproof.

In order to use KHK stock gears safely, carefully read the Application
Hints before proceeding. If there are questions or if you require
clarifications, please, contact our technical department or your nearest
distributor.

KHK CO., LTD. TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT


PHONE: 81-48-254-1744 FAX: 81-48-254-1765
E-mail export@khkgears.co.jp

*Solution Heat Treatment


Heat treatment by which the carbon formed on the surface during the
blank manufacturing is made to migrate into the material interior.

** Passivation

Immersion of the metal in nitric acid to make it more rust-resistant.

1.Caution on Performing Secondary Operations


Due to their material, PR (F) plastic racks may be affected by
significant variations in temperature or humidity. This is especially
true for the overall lengths and pitch errors.
SSR, SIR corner racks are easily deformable and may develop
changes in dimensions.
Racks in general (but particularly long racks) have the tendency to
warp with age. Caution needs to be exercised.
The bottom surface of PR(F) plastic racks is the reference surface
for gear cutting. Therefore, the bottom surface should be used as the
datum during installations.

Most KHK racks can be modified by the user. Please note the
following points.
Secondary operations can be performed on all KHK stock racks.
To avoid problems of gear precision, do not attempt to machine the
racks to reduce the face width. The precision of ground racks and
racks with mounting holes may drop if you do not exercise extreme
caution during installation or while modifying.
Pitch lines of racks are controlled by using the bottom surface as
the reference datum and over-pin measurements on tooth thickness.
If you machine the bottom surfaces, the precision of the racks may
be affected.
When connecting two racks, the machining of the mating ends
requires careful consideration. The meshing will be poor if the pitch
straddling the connection has a positive tolerance. We recommend a
minus tolerance on pitch of( -0.1~-0.3mm) at the connection.

5. Other Points to Consider in the Selection Process


There are various footnotes to the product pages under the headings
of CAUTION and NOTES. Please consider them carefully
when selecting these products.
There may be slight differences in color or shape of products shown
in the photographs from the actual products.
KHK reserves the right to make changes in specifications and
dimensions without notice.
KHK is ready to produce and supply custom order products. When
you require specific gears different from KHK Stock Gears please
contact our distributor for quotation. Also, please refer to page 16

KHK Technical Information

To use dowel pins to secure racks, attach the racks to the base and
drill both simultaneously.
Racks made of S45C-D and SCM440 (except ground racks) can
be induction hardened. But do not induction harden D type racks
with mounting holes since they will warp. In addition, for racks
with modules less than 2, hardness will not totally reach the root
of the teeth.
To be able to handle parts safely, all burrs and sharp corners should
be removed after the secondary operations are done.
If you are going to modify the gear by gripping the teeth, please
exercise caution not to crush the teeth by applying too much
pressure. Any scarring will cause noise during operation.

Heat Treatment
1) Induction hardening of S45C racks should conform with the
reference data below.
Heat treatment temperature - 800~900C
Tempering temperature -
200~250C
Hardness -
50~55HRC
2) When the gear teeth of S45C racks are heat-treated the
precision grade will drop about one grade due to some
deformation to be introduced by the treatments. Please also
note that the rectangular surfaces will not attain the specified
hardness due to decarburization layer of about 0.5mm
thickness.
3) The induction hardened depth is approximately 1mm. However,
the hardening process does not completely reach the root of the
gear teeth at the center portion of the face width.

NC Lathe (spur gears & round racks)

Label Printing Machine (spur gears, racks)


Automatic Packaging Machine (racks)

159

Racks

Machined end type racks such as SRF and SRFD series have the
pitch tolerance of -0.1/-0.3 for modules less than Module 2.5,
and -0.1/-0.4 for larger modules. If you try to connect the racks
without any space, the pitch at the connection will be too small
and will cause problems. Please follow the following diagrams for
assembly.

2. Points of Caution in Assembling


KHK stock racks are designed to give the proper backlash when
assembled using the mounting distance given by the formula below
(mounting distance tolerance of H7~H8 required). The backlash
values are given in the table on page 157. Make sure that the
mounting distance stays constant for the length of the rack.

Examples

of Rack Joining Methods

Mounting distance, a = height of pitch line of rack + pitch radius of pinion


CAUTION: Pinions are assumed to be standard stock spur gears (x=0).

KRG type of KHK stock ground racks have four surfaces ground
parallel to within 10~15 mm. To maintain true angle, they should
be mounted on high precision bases as shown below. It is even
possible to correct for the angular errors of racks by compensating
the mounting base. With recent increases in the requirement for
zero backlash linear drives, such accurate assembly as shown is
becoming more important.

CAUTION: Joining gauge racks for helical racks must have the opposite hand
from the racks. Please use Module 1~10 100 racks as a joining gauge
rack, or alternatively the rack of the same specifications on hand.

3. Notes on Starting Operations


Before operating, check the following:
Are the racks firmly mounted on the base?
Have you eliminated uneven tooth contact?
Does the gear mesh have a proper amount of backlash?
(Please avoid the condition of no backlash.)
Is there sufficient lubrication?
If the gears are exposed, install a safety cover for protection. Never
touch gears while they are in motion.
Check for unusual noise and vibration while the machine is in
operation. If an abnormality is encountered, recheck the racks and
assembly conditions. Also, check lubrication levels after start-up.
Sometimes, when the unit is initially being operated, the lubricating
oil deteriorates rapidly.

If the racks are not secured properly to the base, they could
shift during operation and cause unexpected problems. It is very
important to insure firm mounting by the use of dowel pins or
similar devices.
Racks tend to be heavy objects. Care should be exercised during
assembly to avoid bodily injuries. Also do not drop or bump the
racks.
To secure DR flexible racks, use the rack clamps or rack guide
rails.

KHK Technical Information

4. Other Points to Consider in Applications


KHK products are individually packaged to avoid damage.
Depending on how they are handled, it is still possible to deform or
break them. It is important to exercise care in handling these parts.
Check the products as they are being taken out of the boxes. If any
of them are rusted, scratched or dented, please return to the dealer
where they were bought, for exchange.
KHK cannot guarantee the precision of gears once the customer
performs a secondary operation on them.

CAUTION: The straightness deviation of plastic racks is less than 5mm per meter. You may correct this error by using the bottom surface as the reference when
attaching the racks.
CAUTION: Significant variations in temperature or humidity can cause dimensional changes in plastic racks (MC Nylon). Please see page 32 on Characteristic
of Plastic Gears for additional information.
CAUTION: The reference datum for the gear cutting is the bottom surface. Please use it to position the rack when installing.
NOTE 1: The allowable forces shown in the table are the calculated values according to the assumed usage conditions. Please refer to page 155.

CAUTION: To use the molded flexible rack with a 20 tooth pinion, the radius of curvature for an external or internal arc
must be greater than 150mm.
CAUTION: Molded plastic gears are inherently less precise than metal gears. The table on the right shows the
dimensional tolerance of these racks. The overall length tolerance is 10mm.
CAUTION: Molded flexible racks are not suitable for use when positioning accuracy is need.
NOTE 1: Allowable transmission forces shown in the table are the values calculated from the Lewis formula. The
allowable bending forces are the value for Duracon 90.

CP Racks & Pinions


For Accurate Positioning in Linear Motion Applications.
Characteristics

Movement of one cycle of


SSCP10-30 on CP10 rack vs. SS3-30 (m3) on m3 rack

KHK stock CP racks and pinions are suitable in applications where


very accurate positioning in linear motion is required. For your
convenience, we offer circular pitches of 2.5 to 20mm and in lengths of
100 to 2000mm. (FRCP is available to 4000mm)

One turn
CP10=300mm
m 3=282.74mm

1/2 turn
CP10=150mm
m 3=141.37mm

About CP Racks & Pinions


The reference pitch of a metric module is computed by multiplying the number of
module by p (3.14159). For example, the reference pitch of m3 rack is 9.425mm (3
p). When using a rack and a pinion in a linear motion application,
the fact that the pitch is not an integral number presents a difficulty
in accurate positioning. This problem is solved by CP racks and
pinions where one rotation of a pinion moves it precisely 50, 100,
150, ... or 600mm. The difference in movement of one rotation of a
30 tooth CP10 vs. SS3 spur gear is illustrated on the right.

Caution in Selecting Gears Based on Gear Strength


The gear strength values shown in the product pages were
computed by assuming a certain application environment.
Therefore, they should be used as reference only. We recommend
that each user computes his own values by applying the actual
usage conditions. The table below contains the assumptions
established for these products in order to compute gear strengths.

NOTE 1: The gear strength formula is based on JGMA (Japanese Gear Manufactures Association) specifications. The units of number of rotations (min-1) and the stress
(kgf/mm2) are adjusted to the units needed in the formula.
NOTE 2: Since the load is bidirectional, the allowable bending stress at root Flim is set to 2/3 of the value.

metal and pressing them in a mold under heat to fuse, sizing and
impregnating with oil.
NOTE 3: Even though the bore and the hub portions are masked during the
carburization and they can be modified, care should be exercised
since the hardness is somewhat higher.
NOTE 4: MMSA(B) spiral miter gears are carburized throughout so that they do
not permit any secondary operations. However, the back surface of
B7 style gears is masked during the process so that it is possible to

KHK Technical Information

Selection Hints
Please select the most suitable products by carefully considering the characteristics of items and contents of the product tables. It is also
important to read all applicable CAUTION notes shown below before the final selection. Use of catalog numbers when ordering will
simplify and expedite the processing of your order.
Miter gears are bevel gears with 1:1 gear ratio. Needless to say,
they mate only with gears of the same module and number of
teeth. Also, since KHK uses the Gleason system, our miter
gears may not mesh with those made by another company or
custom-made. It is best to order as a set.

1. Caution in Selecting the Mating Gears


Among KHK stock miter gears, there are products which are
not interchangeable even when the module and the number of
teeth are the same. Also, spiral miter gears require additional
consideration since the right-hand mates with the left-hand spiral
as shown in the table below.

Difference between Gleason Straight Bevel Gears and Standard Straight Bevel Gears
There are differences in the gear blank shapes between the two
systems. In the table below, we illustrate the differences in various
angles and dimensions for typical straight bevel gear pairs.

Miter Gears
2. Caution in Selecting Gears Based on Gear Strength
The gear strength values shown in the product pages were
computed by assuming a certain application environment.
Therefore, they should be used as reference only. We
recommend that each user computes their own values by
applying the actual usage conditions. The table below
contains the assumptions established for these products in
order to compute gear strengths.

Definition of bending strength

Definition of surface durability

The allowable bending strength of a gear


is defined as the allowable tangential
force at the pitch circle based on the
mutually allowable root stress of two
meshing gears under load.

The surface durability of a gear is


defined as the allowable tangential force
at the pitch circle, which permits the
force to be transmitted safely without
incurring surface failure.

Example of the failure due


to insufficient bending
strength.

NOTE 1: The gear strength formula is based on JGMA


(Japanese Gear Manufacturers Association)
specifications, MC Nylon Technical Data by
Nippon Polypenco Limited and Duracon Gear
Data by Polyplastic Co. The units of number of
rotations (min-1) and the the stress (kgf/mm2) are
adjusted to the units needed in the formula.
NOTE 2: Since the load is bidirectional, the allowable
bending stress at root Flim, used in JGMA
403-01 formula is set to 2/3 of the value.
NOTE 3: The values of the allowable bending stresses
for DM m0.5 and m1.5 and the allowable
root bending stress for LM gears are our own
estimates.

4. Other Points to Consider in the Selection Process

MMSA(B) spiral miter gears are carburized throughout so that they


do not permit any secondary operations. However, the back surface
of B7 style gears is masked during the process so that it is possible to
drill and pin on this surface.
The keyway sizes of MMSA(B) finished bore spiral miter gears are
made according to JIS B 1301, medium quality, but the final heat
treating may cause some deformation.
The bore of SMS spiral miter gears may somewhat be deformed due
to heat treatment and does not reach H7 tolerance.
Due to the characteristics of the material, PM plastic miter gears
product quality may be affected by heat or moisture absorption.
Items with black oxide finish are somewhat effective in resisting rust
but are not totally rustproof.
SUM stainless steel miter gears use material which is especially
resistant to rust but still is not 100% rustproof.
The bore tolerance of DM injection molded miter gears is generally
-0.05 to -0.10, but may be plus values at the central portion of the
hole. Remachining the bore is not recommended since reworking
may expose voids in the plastic.

There are various footnotes to the product pages under the headings
of CAUTION and NOTE. Please consider them carefully when
selecting these products.
There may be slight differences in color or shape of products shown
in the photographs from the actual products.
KHK reserves the right to make changes in specifications and
dimensions without notice.
KHK is ready to produce and supply custom order products. When
you require specific gears different from KHK Stock Gears please
contact our distributor for quotation. Also, please refer to page 16
KHK Custom Order Products.

KHK Technical Information

Application Hints
In order to use KHK stock gears safely, carefully read the
Application Hints before proceeding. If there are questions or you
require clarifications, please contact our technical department or
your nearest distributor.

MMSA(B) spiral miter gears are carburized throughout, so that


no secondary operations can be performed (except B7 style
items). For items with induction hardened teeth, such as SMSG
and SMS series, the hardness is high near the tooth root. When
machining the front face, the machined area should be 4 to 6mm
smaller than the dimension, J.

1. Caution on Performing Secondary Operations
If you are reboring, it is important to pay special attention to
locating the center in order to avoid runout.
The reference datum for gear cutting is the bore. Therefore, it is
best to use the bore for locating the center. If it is too difficult to
do for small bores, the alternative is to use one spot on the bore
and the runout of the side surface.
If reworking using scroll chucks, we recommend the use of new
or rebored jaws for improved precision. Please exercise caution
not to crush the teeth by applying too much pressure. Any
scarring will cause noise during operation.

For tapping and keyway operations, see the examples given


in 1. Caution on Performing Secondary Operations in KHK
Stock Spur Gear section. When cutting keyways, to avoid stress
concentration, always leave radii on corners.
P M plastic miter gears are susceptible to changes due to
temperature and humidity. Dimensions may change between
during and after remachining operations.
When heat treating S45C products, it is possible to get thermal
stress cracks. It is best to subject them to penetrant inspection
afterwards. While the teeth strength may increase four fold, the
precision of the gear will drop approximately one grade.

Lathe Operations

Staring in August 2003, the tooling holes on the hub face of the
spiral miter gears (except ground gears) module 2.5 and above
have been eliminated. However, we may have some items in
stock with the hole.

197

Miter Gears
If a miter gear is mounted on a shaft far from the bearings, the
shaft may bend. We recommend mounting bevel gears as close
to the bearings as possible. This is especially important since
most miter gears are supported on one end. The bending of
shafts will cause abnormal noise and wear, and may even cause
fatigue failure of the shafts. Both shafts and bearings must be
designed with sufficient strength.
Due to the thrust load of miter gears, the gears, shafts and
bearings have the tendency to loosen up during operation. Miter
gears should be fastened to the shaft with keys and set screws,
taper pins, step shafts, etc.
When installing MMSA(B) finished bore spiral miter gears in
B7 style (ring type), always secure the gears onto the mounting
base with taper pins to absorb the rotational loads. It is
dangerous to secure with bolts only.

2. Points of Caution in Assembling


Since miter gears are cone shaped, they produce axial thrust
forces. Specifically with regard to spiral miter gears, the
directions of thrust change with the hand of spiral and the
direction of rotation. This is illustrated below. The bearings
must be selected properly to be able to handle these thrust
forces.

Thrust

KHK stock miter gears are designed such that, when assembled
according to the specified mounting distance with a tolerance
of H7~H8, the backlash shown in the table are obtained.
Mounting distance error, offset error and shaft angle error must
be minimized to avoid excessive noise and wear. Inaccurate
assembly will lead to irregular noises and uneven wear. Various
conditions of teeth contact are shown below.

Correct Tooth Contact


When assembled correctly, the contact will occur on both gears
in the middle of the flank and center of face width but somewhat
closer to the toe.

Incorrect Tooth Contact


Mounting Distance Error

When the mounting distance of the


pinion is incorrect, the contact will
occur too high on the flank on one
gear and too low on the other.

Offset Error

When the pinion shaft is offset, the


contact surface is near the toe of one
gear and near the heel of the other.

198

Shaft Angle Error

When there is an angular error of


shafts, the gears will contact at the
toes or heels depending on whether
the angle is greater or less than 90.

KHK Technical Information

3. Notes on Starting Operations

PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT

Before operating, check the following:


Are the gears firmly mounted on the shafts?
Have you eliminated uneven tooth contact?
Does the gear mesh have a proper amount of backlash?
(Please avoid the condition of no backlash)
Is there sufficient lubrication?
If the gears are exposed, install a safety cover for protection.
Check the noise and vibration while the machine is in operation
for any unusual conditions. If an abnormality is encountered,
recheck the gears and assembly conditions. Also, check
lubrication after start-up. Sometimes, when the unit is initially
being operated, lubricating oil deteriorates rapidly.

In order to increase the gear strength of KHK standard Miter


Gears, starting in June 2004, the following changes have been
introduced. During this transition, some of the specifications
will change.

1. Applicable Series
MMSG Ground Spiral Miter Gears (30 Items)
MMS Spiral Miter Gears (20 Items)
MM Miter Gears (10 Items)

2. Improvement Details
Increase in gear strength (Approximately 15% higher
bending strength compared to previous one)
3. Change in the specifications

4. Other Points to Consider in Applications


KHK products are individually packaged to avoid damages.
Depending on how they are handled, it is still possible to deform or
break them. It is important to exercise care in handling these parts.
Check the products as they are being taken out of the boxes. If any
of them are rusted, scratched or dented, please return to the dealer
where they were bought, for exchange.
KHK cannot guarantee the precision of gears once the customer
performs a secondary operation on them.

CAUTION: These products which are hardened by carburizing allow no secondary machining. However, the back surface of B7 type gears is masked during the process so
that it is possible to drill and pin on this surface.
CAUTION: Dimensions of the diameter, the overall length and crown to back length are all theoretical values, and some differences will occur due to the corner chamfering
of the gear tips.

204

Finished Bore Spiral MiterGears


When installing MMSA(B) spiral miter
gears in B7 style (ring type), always
secure the gears onto the mounting
base with taper pins to absorb the
rotational loads. It is dangerous to
secure with bolts only.

CAUTION: A set of miter gears must be identical in module and number of teeth, but opposite in spiral hands.
CAUTION: Dimensions of the outside diameter, the overall length and crown to back length are all theoretical values, and some differences will occur due to the corner
chamfering of the gear tips.
NOTE1: Due to heat treating, some deformation of the bore may occur. It may be necessary to ream the bore to bring it to the stated dimensions.

CAUTION: Although the sintering process allows for the inclusion of oil to maintain lubricity, these gears have not been oil impregnated.
CAUTION: The rust prevention process involves treating the gears with steam (in effect, creating the surface oxidation). The black oxide treatment cannot be applied to these
gears.

Regarding Angular Miter Gears


The shafts of standard miter gears are at 90. Miter gears with other angles are called angular miter gears. SAM series of KHK standard angular
miter gears are available with 45, 60 and 120 shaft angles. Other shaft angles may be ordered as custom gears. However, because of the
limitations of manufacturing equipment, some gears are not possible to be made.

2. Caution in Selecting Gears Based on Gear Strength

Selection Hints

The gear strength values shown in the product pages were


computed by assuming a certain application environment.
Therefore, they should be used as reference only. We recommend
that each user computes their own values by applying the actual
usage conditions. The table below contains the assumptions
established for these products in order to compute gear strengths.

Please select the most suitable products by carefully considering


the characteristics of items and contents of the product tables. It
is also important to read all applicable CAUTION notes shown
below before the final selection.

1. Caution in Selecting the Mating Gears

CAUTION: The allowable torque of MHP High Ratio Hypoid Gears is the actual
measured value when the pinion is rotating at 600 min-1.

Basically, KHK stock bevel gears should be selected as shown


in the catalog in pairs (Ex: MBSG2-4020R should mate with
MBSG2-2040L). But, for straight tooth bevel gears, there is some
interchangeability with different series. For plastic bevel gears, we
recommend metal mating gears for good heat conductivity.

3. Caution with Regard to the Special Characteristics of Bevel Gears


M BSA(B) finished bore spiral bevel gears are carburized
throughout so that they do not permit any secondary operations.
However, the back surface of B7 style gears (ring type) is
masked during the process so that it is possible to drill and pin
on this surface.
The keyway sizes of MBSA(B) finished bore spiral bevel gears
are made according to JIS B 1301, medium quality (Js9), but the
final heat treating may cause some deformation.
The bore of SBS spiral bevel gears may somewhat be deformed
due to heat treatment and do not reach H7 tolerance.
Due to the characteristics of the material, PB plastic bevel gears
product quality may be affected by heat or moisture absorption.

Limited and Duracon Gear Data by Polyplastic Co. Also, the units (min-1) of number of rotations and unit (kgf/mm2) of stress are adjusted to the units needed
in the formula.
NOTE 2: Since the load is bidirectional, the allowable bending stress at root Flim, used in JGMA 403-01 formula is set to 2/3 of the value.
NOTE 3: The value for DB m0.5 was assumed by KHK.

4. Other Points to Consider in the Selection Process

See the similarly titled section for miter gears.


229

Bevel Gears
M BSA(B) finished bore spiral bevel gears are carburized
throughout, so that no secondary operations can be performed
(except B7 style items). For items with induction hardened teeth,
such as SBSG and SBS series, the hardness is high near the
tooth root. When machining the front end, the machined area
should be 4 to 6mm smaller than the dimension, J.

Application Hints
In order to use KHK stock gears safely, carefully read the
Application Hints before proceeding. For Notes on Starting
Operations and Other Points to Consider in Applications, please
see the Application Hints of Miter Gear Selection.

1. Caution on Performing Secondary Operations


If you are reboring, it is important to pay special attention to
locating the center in order to avoid runout.
The reference datum for gear cutting is the bore. Therefore, it is
best to use the bore for locating the center. If it is too difficult to
do for small bores, the alternative is to use one spot on the bore
and the runout of the side surface.
If reworking using scroll chucks, we recommend the use of new
or rebored jaws for improved precision. Please exercise caution
not to crush the teeth by applying too much pressure. Any
scarring will cause noise during operation.

For tapping and keyway operations, see the examples given


in 1. Caution on Performing Secondary Operations in KHK
Stock Spur Gear section. When cutting keyways, to avoid stress
concentration, always leave radii on corners.
P B plastic bevel gears are susceptible to changes due to
temperature and humidity. Dimensions may change between
during and after remachining operations.
When heat treating S45C products, it is possible to get thermal
stress cracks. It is best to subject them to penetrant inspection
afterwards. While the teeth strength may increase four fold, the
precision of the gear will drop approximately one grade.
For the handling conveniences, SB and SBY series listed below
has the tapped holes (180 apart, 2 places) on the holding
surface.

2.Points of Caution in Assembling

PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT

Since bevel gears are cone shaped, they produce axial thrust
forces. Especially for spiral bevel gears, the directions of thrust
change with the hand of spiral and the direction of rotation. This
is illustrated below. The bearings must be selected properly to
be able to handle these thrust forces.

The corner tips of the gear-teeth of KHK stock Bevel Gears are
machine chamfered for safety and for prevention of damages.

KHK stock bevel gears are designed such that, when assembled
according to the specified mounting distance with a tolerance
of H7~H8, the backlash shown in the table is obtained.
Mounting distance error, offset error and shaft angle error must
be minimized to avoid excessive noise and wear. For various
conditions of teeth contact, please see page 198 "Correct Tooth
Contact" and "Incorrect Tooth Contact".
If a bevel gear is mounted on a shaft far from the bearings, the
shaft may bend. We recommend mounting bevel gears as close
to the bearings as possible. This is especially important since
most bevel gears are supported on one end. The bending of
shafts will cause abnormal noise and wear, and may even cause
fatigue failure of the shafts. Both shafts and bearings must be
designed with sufficient strength.
Due to the thrust load of bevel gears, the gears, shafts and
bearings have the tendency to loosen up during operation. Bevel
gears should be fastened to the shaft with keys and set screws,
taper pins, step shafts, etc.
When installing MBSA(B) spiral bevel gears in B7 style (ring
type), always secure the gears onto the mounting base with taper
pins to absorb the rotational loads. It is dangerous to secure with
bolts only.

Features of MHP High Ratio Hypoid Gears
A pair of MHP high-ratio hypoid gears are able to produce an amazing speed of reduction of 200:1 in one stage.
1. Total-cost reduction
The MHP provides a compact gearing
body replacing several stages of
reduction gears. This reduces the cost
sharply.
2. High efficiency
Compared to worm gear drives, the MHP
has less sliding contact. The resulting
higher efficiency allows the use of smaller
motors (See the graph on the right).
3. High rigidity
The carburized hypoid gears lead to
smaller size than comparable worms gears.
4. Compact gear assembly
The size of the gear housing is nearly the
same as outer diameter of the large gear.
(See the diagrams below)

NOTE 1: Factors to be used for calculating radial and thrust loads, CW and CCW stand for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, respectively. See B8
Shape above. A plus sign means that two gears in a set are apart from each other when load is applied. A minus sign means that they approach
each other when load is applied. For the method of calculation, see How to determine the radial and thrust loads on page 232.
NOTE 2: The allowable torques are obtained from the results of experimentation with the pinion at 600 min-1 lubricated with Kingstar SG-O (NIHON GREASE).

CAUTION: With the exception of B7 type gears, dimensions of the outside diameter, the overall length and crown to back length are all theoretical values, and some

differences will occur due to the corner chamfering of the gear tips.
CAUTION: The products which are hardened by carburizing allow no secondary machining, however, the back surface of B7 type gears is masked during the process so
that it is possible to drill and pin on this surface.

CAUTION: Dimensions of the outside diameter, the overall length and crown to back length are all theoretical values, and some differences will occur due to the corner
chamfering of the gear tips.
NOTE1: Due to heat treating, some deformation of the bore may occur. It may be necessary to ream the bore to bring it to the stated dimensions.

Regarding the Transmission Capability Table
1. The values given in the table are for a service factor of 1.Using the table on the

right, please modify the value according to the actual conditions.
2. For speed increaser applications (where the gear is the driver and the pinion is
driven), the torque on the pinion is the value in the table multiplied by the speed ratio.
(Ex.) For speed ratio of 1/1.5, the torque on the pinion is 1/1.5 times the value given in
the table.

Adjusting Tooth Contact

(1)When there is an angular error of the shafts

Centering tooth contact


(1)When assembled correctly, the contact will occur in
the middle of the tooth flank.
(2)The contact in the face width direction should be in
the center of the face width, but somewhat closer to
toe is ideal.

Error

When the gears are assembled in to the gearbox and


the backlash is adjusted, adjust the gearbox to obtain
the tooth contact as shown below. Inaccurate assembly
will lead to irregular noise and uneven wear,

Characteristics

Selection Hints

KHK stock screw gears come in four materials, S45C, SUS303,


CAC702 (formerly ABC2) and MC nylon, in modules 1~4 and
numbers of teeth from 10 to 30.

Please select the most suitable products by carefully considering


the characteristics of items and contents of the product tables. It
is also important to read all applicable CAUTION notes shown
below before the final selection. Since screw gears come in rightor left-hand helix, make sure to include the letter R or L in the
catalog number when you order.

Main Features of Types of Screw Gears Offered


In terms of materials, we offer high abrasion-resistant aluminum
bronze (CAC702) AN series, chemical-resistant MC nylon
(MC901) PN screw gears, superior antirust stainless steel
(SUS303) SUN series and commonly used machine carbon steel
(S45C) SN series.
The helix angle of 45 is used with both right- hand and lefthand helixes so that any direction of rotation and axial thrusts
can be selected. When the same helix hand is used as a set (right
with right or left with left) they can be used as a skewed shaft
drive, while the opposite hand set (right with left) can be used as
a parallel shaft drive.
The efficiency depends on the application, but is approximately
80 to 90%. Because they have high friction, it is essential that
lubrication. (gear oil JIS type 2, No. 5~7) is used.

1.Caution in Selecting the Mating Gears


Screw gears are used for offset shafts. Whether the shafts are
paralleled offset or skewed offset depends on the helix hands of the
mating gears.

2. Caution with Regard to Special Characteristics of Screw Gears


SN steel screw gears made of S45C with black oxide finish are
somewhat effective in preventing rust but are not rustproof.
SUN stainless steel screw gears have high degrees of antitrust
property, but are not totally rustproof.
Due to the characteristics of MC nylon, PN plastic screw gears
product quality may be affected by heat or moisture absorption.
A N aluminum-bronze screw gears material (CAC702) has
the tendency to abrade and scuff when mated together. KHK
recommends mating AN screw gears with those of different
material for the best results.

KHK Technical Information

Application Hints

3. Caution in Selecting Gears Based on Gear Strength


The allowable surface strength listed in the product pages were
derived using the Niemann formula as reference values (for the
case of skewed offset shafts). There is paucity of data on the
strength of screw gears. The values of constant K 0 used in the
calculations, which depend on the material of the mating gears, are
our estimates. The following are the equations used. (NOTE 1)

In order to use KHK stock screw gears safely, read the Application
Hints carefully before proceeding. Also 1. Caution on Performing
Secondary Operations, 3. Notes on Starting Operations, 4.
Other Points to Consider in Applications in the spur gear section
should be consulted.

1. Points of Caution in Assembling

KHK stock screw gears are designed to give the proper backlash
when assembled using the center distance given by the formula
below with a tolerance of H7~H8. The amount of backlash is
given in the product table for each gear.

Due to the helix of screw gears, they produce axial thrust forces.
The bearings must be selected properly to be able to handle
these thrust forces. The directions of thrust change with the hand
of helix and the direction of rotation as illustrated below.

Available in Speed Reduction Ratios of 1/10 to 1/120 in Many Materials and Styles.
Characteristics
The simplest way to obtain a large speed reduction with high torque in a compact space is with worm gear drives. KHK stock worms and
worm wheels are available in modules 0.5~6 and in speed ratios of 1/10~1/120, made in a variety of materials and styles. We also offer stock
duplex worms and worm wheels with which you can obtain a very low backlash, high rotational precision system.

Main Characteristics
Duplex lead worms have slightly different leads and
lead angles on the opposite face of the gear tooth.
A range of backlash can be obtained by moving the
worm axially. Worms have a high precision ground
finish while worm wheels are made of abrasionresistant Aluminum Bronze, making these the topgrade products. Worms come in bore type and shaft
type styles.
Use of worm shafts eliminate the need to attach
worms to shafts. Machining of bearing journal
can be performed on the shafts. KWG2 or larger
worm shafts have smaller pitch diameters than
the comparable SWG worms, which allow more
compact design with higher efficiency.
Superior strength and wear-resistance lead to
compact designs with these gears. They have the
same center distances as the more popular SW/CG
series which permit substitution of these in place of
SW/CG series for more demanding applications.

A large selection is available in these economical


and most popular series. Modules range from 0.8
to 6 and speed ratios from 1/10 to 1/120. Worm
wheels are also available in lightweight MC nylon
which can be used without lubrication.

NOTE 1: The material of cast hubs of AGF and AG worm wheels is FC200. AG worm wheels mate primarily with SWG worms. But, for Modules 0.8 or smaller, AG worm wheels mate with KWG worms.
NOTE 2: KHK stock worms and worm wheels are produced to KHKs own precision grades. See the Precision of Worms and Worm Gears in the Selection Hints section.

KHK Technical Information

Efficiency of Worm Gear Drives and Their Self-Locking Feature


1. Efficiency of Worm Gear Pair
The efficiency of power transmission varies somewhat with the
conditions of assembly and lubricant, but is generally 30~90%
(excludes losses from bearings and churning of lubricants). The
efficiency of KHK stock worm gear pair is given below as a
reference.

Efficiency of SW, SUW/CG, BG, PG Worm Gear Pair (%)

The efficiency is approximately as follows, depending on the


assembly, loading, lubrication and rotational speed:
Single thread

40~50%

Double thread

50~60%

2. Self-Locking Feature of Worm Gear Pair


Self-locking is defined as the inability of worm wheels to drive
the worms. Factors affecting the self-locking feature include the
materials of the worm and worm wheel, lead angle, precision
of manufacture, types of bearings, lubricant, etc. Thus, it is not
dependent simply on the lead angle. But, in general, self-locking
will occur when the lead angle in a single thread worm is less than

4 . For systems requiring fail-safe prevention of back drive, we


recommend other braking mechanisms or one-way clutches.

Application Hints
In order to use KHK stock worms and worm wheels safely,
carefully read the Application Hints before proceeding. If there are
questions or you require clarifications, please contact our technical
department or your nearest distributor.

2. Points of Caution in Assembling


KHK stock worms and worm wheels are designed such that
when assembled according to the specified mounting distance
with a tolerance of H7~H8, the backlash shown in the product
tables is obtained. Do not attempt to eliminate backlash by
pushing worms into worm wheels or operate with the worm
shifted in the direction along the tooth.
Because of the helix of the gear teeth, worms and worm wheels
produce axial thrust forces. The directions of thrust depend
on the hand of the helix and the direction of rotation. This
is illustrated below in Fig.2. The bearings must be selected
properly to be able to handle these thrust forces.

1. Caution on Performing Secondary Operations
If you are reboring, it is important to pay special attention to
locating the center in order to avoid runout. (Fig.1)
The reference datum for gear cutting or grinding is the bore.
(For worm shafts, it is ground portion of the shaft.) Therefore,
use the bore or shaft for locating the center. If it is too difficult
to do for small bores, the alternative is to use one spot on the
bore and the runout of the side surface.

Fig.1

To open up the bore to its maximum, calculate the bore size


so that the tooth strength is weaker than the strength of the
remaining material.
Some of SWG and KWG ground worms in small modules
become hardened during heat treatment to the depth of 1
to 2mm below the root. Caution must be exercised when
performing secondary operations on the bore.
Heat treating SW worms will increase lead and pressure angle
errors. Therefore, pay special attention to the backlash and tooth
contact.
PG plastic worm wheels are susceptible to effects of
temperature and moisture. Dimensions may change between
during remachining operations and afterwards.

KHK Technical Information

Because large thrust forces act on worms, if they are not secured
to the shaft firmly, they tend to shift. Use of step shafts, set
screws, dowel pins, etc., are recommended. Also, check for
loosening of bearings due to thrust forces.
How well the worms and worm wheels are assembled has large
effects on the friction of the unit. The tooth contact at the time
of assembly must be checked for correctness as shown below.

3. Notes on Starting Operations


Before operating, check the following:
Are the gears firmly mounted on the shafts?
Have you eliminated uneven tooth contact?
Does the gear mesh have a proper amount of backlash?

(Please avoid the condition of no backlash)
Is there sufficient lubrication?
If the gears are exposed, install a safety cover for protection.
Never touch gears while they are in motion.
Check the noise and vibration while the machine is in operation
for any unusual conditions. If an abnormality is encountered,
recheck the gears and assembly conditions. Also, check
lubrication after start-up. Sometimes, when the unit is initially
being operated, lubricating oil deteriorates rapidly.
Worm gear drives generate more heat then other types of gear
drives. Extra care should be exercised in the selection and
amount of lubricant.

Verify that the worm axis is perpendicular to the worm


wheel axis.

4. Other Points to Consider in Applications


KHK products are individually packaged to avoid damage.
Depending on how they are handled, it is still possible to deform
or break them. It is important to exercise care in handling these
parts.
Check the products as they are being taken out of the boxes. If
any of them are rusted, scratched or dented, please return to the
dealer where they were bought, for exchange.
KHK cannot guarantee the precision of gears once the customer
performs a secondary operation on them.

Check for the worm axis to be in the center of the worm


wheel face width.

Example of KHK Gear Applications


Confirm that the center of the worm wheel goes
through the midpoint of the worm length. The worm
cannot rotate correctly if the worm is engaged close to
either end of its length.

Worm Gear Pair


Description of duplex worm gears
The usual method of adjusting the backlash of a worm gear assembly is to modify the center distance. Once assembled, such adjustment
require a major rework of the gearbox housing.
The use of duplex worm gears allows the backlash adjustment to be made by axially shifting the worm. This simplifies greatly the assembly
and maintenance operations. Because of the unique characteristics of the product, please take time to study its construction and proper use.

1. Backlash adjustment mechanism and method of adjustment


The dual-lead worm is formed to give a difference between
the right tooth surface and left tooth surface so that it provides
a unique tooth profile in which the tooth thickness varies
continuously, corresponding with the lead difference (Fig.1)
The worm gear is also formed in its right and left tooth surface.
When such a worm and worm gear are set up at a constant
assembly distance and the worm is moved in the axial direction,
the tooth thickness of the worm in mesh with the worm gear
changes making backlash adjustment possible.
An arrow marking on the outer circumference of the hub of the
KHK duplex worm indicates the direction of assembly as well as
acts as a guide for the backlash adjustment.
When the worm is held with arrow mark pointing right, the tooth
thickness is thinner on the right and thicker on the left. Therefore,
moving the worm to the right causes the thicker teeth to come
into actual engagement with the worm gear, thereby reducing the
backlash (Fig.2)

Reference tooth
Moving the worm in the direction of the arrow causes the
backlash to decrease.
Fig.2

CAUTION: The KHK duplex worm is designed so that, for all


modules, the backlash reduces by 0.02mm when the
worm is shifted 1mm.

KHK Technical Information

2. Point of caution during assembly


KHK duplex worm gears differs in module between the right and
left tooth surface and, therefore, you must orient the worm and
worm wheel properly. Please carefully verify the following two
aspects before proceeding with assembly.

Verifying the orientation of assembly

Verifying the reference position

Reference tooth

Arrow mark indicates the correct orientation of two


gears when assembled. As shown, the two arrows
must point in the same direction.
Fig.3

299

Center distance a

Reference tooth

A V-groove (60, 0.3mm deep line) on tip peripheral of the duplex


worm tooth marks the reference tooth. The gear set is designated to
have a backlash of nearly zero (+/-0.03) when the reference tooth
is positioned in alignment with the center of rotation of the worm
wheel with the center distance set at the value a (Fig.3)

Center distance a

An arrow indicating the orientation of assembly is stamped on both


the duplex worm and worm wheel. When assembling the worm
and worm wheel, check the worm wheel of the arrow mark on the
front such that the direction of arrow mark on the worm coincides
with that on the worm wheel. Should the assembly be incorrect, the
center distance a will become larger than the normal distance,
resulting in difficulty of assembly and improper gear engagement.

CAUTION: Before assembling or performing any secondary operations, please carefully read the Application Hints on page 296.
CAUTION: Heat treating the tooth area of these worms is not recommended since it will introduce errors in the lead and pressure angles, producing poor gear mesh.
CAUTION: SUW worms may also be used to mate with BG and CG worm wheels.
CAUTION: These worm wheels are profile shifted to create the proper center distance.

CAUTION: Before assembling or performing any secondary operations, please carefully read the Application Hints on page 296.
CAUTION: Heat treating the tooth area of these worms is not recommended since it will introduce errors in the lead and pressure angles, producing poor gear mesh.
CAUTION: SUW worms may also be used to mate with BG and CG worm wheels.
CAUTION: These worm wheels are profile shifted to create the proper center distance.

Material

The tips of pawls and the teeth of ratchets are


induction hardened and therefore have superior
durability.
The pawls are designed to prevent reverse rotation.
They are not suitable for use as driving ratchets or
driving rotation.
SRT2/3-C is manufactured using a lost wax casting
method.
As to SRTB ratchets with hubs, please note the
direction of teeth, viewing from the hub side. KHK
can produce ratchets which have the teeth pointed
in the opposite direction as a custom order item.

Ordering Gear Couplings

G
C

(Example) If you require one set of GC2-30, you will


need one GC2-I (outer ring) and two GC2-30 (inner
hubs). These components may also be purchased
separately. Therefore, please specify set or each
when ordering.
There are many ways to couple shafts to transmit power. We have
developed these standardized gear couplings of our own design.
They are easier to connect or disconnect than chain couplings and
are especially suitable for use in power testing devices.

Characteristics of Gear Couplings


The gear teeth of the inner hubs are crowned to allow for up to 5
of shaft angle offset.
Due to induction hardened gear teeth, these couplings have
excellent durability. All surfaces are plated (Unichromic plating).
The units are machined complete with keyways, set screw holes
and finished bores and are ready for immediate installation. We
also offer minimum bore models for users who want to perform
their own secondary operations.

The surface strength of Spline


The design concept of the spline surface strength is the
same as that of a key. Here is the formula for the allowable
transmission force (N) of spline.
F zhl

4. Operating precautions
Do not get near or touch rotating portions of the machine such
as the shafts during operations. You may get caught and injure
yourself.
Stop the operation immediately when the noise level or the
temperature rises abnormally. Do not restart until all of the
causes are analyzed and proper repairs are made.
Sudden reversal of the direction of rotation could affect the
gearbox and mating machinery. Be sure to stop the unit before
reversing the rotation.
Be sure to keep the load torque and overhang load (O.H.L.)
within the allowable range during operation.

CAUTION 1: Be sure not to exceed the allowable torque values. Units with (1:2) reduction ratio have the slower speed in the Y-axis.
CAUTION 2: The values in the table are in effect when the service factor is 1. When the units are used under other conditions, refer to the Service

Factor Tables 2 and 3 (page 356).
CAUTION 3: Overhang load (O.H.L) means the load applied to the middle of the overhang shaft, perpendicular to the axis. When using the units under other
conditions, refer to the factors K1 and K2 described in Tables 2 and 3 (page 356).
CAUTION 4: When the 1:2 speed ratio unit is used as a speed increaser (from the Y-axis to the X-axis), the X-axis torque becomes one half of the
Y-axis torque shown in the table.
CAUTION 5: The Y-axis torque of CBX-T Type is the sum of the values on both right and left axis.
CAUTION 6: The Y-axis O.H.L. of CBX-T Type is the sum of the values on both right and left axis.
CAUTION 7: The allowable thrust load is half of O.H.L. value in each case.

Bevel Gearboxes

Selection Hints
PBX series are economical bevel gearboxes. For applications
requiring high precision, strength and/or speed, we recommend
the use of KBX type bevel gearboxes.
Please avoid overhang and thrust loads on the shafts. By
supporting both ends of the shaft on which a gear or sprocket is
mounted by means of pillow blocks or bearings as shown below,
you can eliminate overhang loads.
These units are not suitable when you have sudden reversals
of rotation or impact loads. Please consider KBX type bevel
gearboxes in such applications.

ELEMENTS OF METRIC GEAR TECHNOLOGY



Gears are some of the most important elements used in machinery.
There are few mechanical devices that do not have the need to transmit
power and motion between rotating shafts. Gears not only do this
most satisfactorily, but can do so with uniform motion and reliability. In
addition, they span the entire range of applications from large to small. To
summarize:

1.1 Comparison Of Metric Gears With American Inch Gears



In all modern gear systems, the rack is the basis for tooth design and
manufacturing tooling. Thus, the similarities and differences between the
two systems can be put into proper perspective with comparison of the
metric and inch basic racks.

In both systems, the basic rack is normalized for a unit size. For the
metric rack it is 1 module, and for the inch rack it is 1 diametral pitch.

1. Gears offer positive transmission of power.


2. Gears range in size from small miniature instrument installations, that measure in only several millimeters in diameter, to
huge powerful gears in turbine drives that are several meters
in diameter.
3. Gears can provide position transmission with very high angular or linear accuracy; such as used in servomechanisms
and military equipment.
4. Gears can couple power and motion between shafts whose
axes are parallel, intersecting or skew.
5. Gear designs are standardized in accordance with size and
shape which provides for widespread interchangeability.

1.1.2 Metric ISO Basic Rack


The standard ISO metric rack is detailed in Figure 1-1. It is now the
accepted standard for the international community, it having eliminated a
number of minor differences that existed between the earlier versions of
Japanese, German and Russian modules. For comparison, the standard
inch rack is detailed in Figure 1-2. Note that there are many similarities.
The principal factors are the same for both racks. Both are normalized for
unity; that is, the metric rack is specified in terms of 1 module, and the inch
rack in terms of 1 diametral pitch.


This technical manual is written as an aid for the designer who is a
beginner or only superficially knowledgeable about gearing. It provides
fundamental theoretical and practical information. Admittedly, it is not
intended for experts.

Those who wish to obtain further information and special details
should refer to the reference list at the end of this text and other literature
on mechanical machinery and components.

INTRODUCTION TO METRIC GEARS


This technical section is dedicated to details of metric gearing because
of its increasing importance. Currently, much gearing in the United States
is still based upon the inch system. However, with most of the world
metricated, the use of metric gearing in the United States is definitely on the
increase, and inevitably at some future date it will be the exclusive system.

It should be appreciated that in the United States there is a growing
amount of metric gearing due to increasing machinery and other equipment
imports. This is particularly true of manufacturing equipment, such as
printing presses, paper machines and machine tools. Automobiles are
another major example, and one that impacts tens of millions of individuals.
Further spread of metric gearing is inevitable since the world that surrounds
the United States is rapidly approaching complete conformance. England
and Canada, once bastions of the inch system, are well down the road of
metrication, leaving the United States as the only significant exception.

Thus, it becomes prudent for engineers and designers to not only
become familiar with metric gears, but also to incorporate them in their
designs. Certainly, for export products it is imperative; and for domestic
products it is a serious consideration. The U.S. Government, and in
particular the military, is increasingly insisting upon metric based equipment
designs.

Recognizing that most engineers and designers have been reared
in an environment of heavy use of the inch system and that the amount of
literature about metric gears is limited, we are offering this technical gear
section as an aid to understanding and use of metric gears. In the following
pages, metric gear standards are introduced along with information about
interchangeability and noninterchangeability. Although gear theory is the
same for both the inch and metric systems, the formulas for metric gearing
take on a different set of symbols. These equations are fully defined in the
metric system. The coverage is thorough and complete with the intention
that this be a source for all information about gearing with definition in a
metric format.

From the normalized metric rack, corresponding dimensions for any
module are obtained by multiplying each rack dimension by the value of the
specific module m. The major tooth parameters are defined by the standard,
as:

T5

Tooth Form:

Straight-sided full depth, forming the basis


of a family of full depth interchangeable
gears.
Pressure Angle: A 20O pressure angle, which conforms to
worldwide acceptance of this as the most
versatile pressure angle.

1.1.3 Comparison Of Gear Calculation Equations

International Standards Organization (ISO). A listing of the most pertinent


standards is given in Table 1-1.

This is equal to the module m, which is


similar to the inch value that becomes
1/p.
This is 1.25 m ; again similar to the inch
rack value.
The metric rack value is slightly greater
than the American inch rack value.
A maximum value is specified. This is
a deviation from the American inch rack
which does not specify a rounding.


Most major industrialized countries have been using metric gears for a
long time and consequently had developed their own standards prior to the
establishment of ISO and SI units. In general, they are very similar to the
ISO standards. The key foreign metric standards are listed in Table 1-2 for
reference.
1.3 Japanese Metric Standards In This Text


Most gear equations that are used for diametral pitch inch gears are
equally applicable to metric gears if the module m is substituted for diametral
pitch. However, there are exceptions when it is necessary to use dedicated
metric equations. Thus, to avoid confusion and errors, it is most effective to
work entirely with and within the metric system.

1.3.1 Application Of JIS Standards


Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) define numerous engineering
subjects including gearing. The originals are generated in Japanese, but
they are translated and published in English by the Japanese Standards
Association.

Considering that many metric gears are produced in Japan, the JIS
standards may apply. These essentially conform to all aspects of the ISO
standards.

1.3.3 Terminology


Terms used in metric gearing are identical or are parallel to those used
for inch gearing. The one major exception is that metric gears are based
upon the module, which for reference may be considered as the inversion
of a metric unit diametral pitch.

Terminology will be appropriately introduced and defined throughout
the text.

There are some terminology difficulties with a few of the descriptive
words used by the Japanese JIS standards when translated into English.

One particular example is the Japanese use of the term "radial" to describe
measures such as what Americans term circular pitch. This also crops up
with contact ratio. What Americans refer to as contact ratio in the plane of
rotation, the Japanese equivalent is called "radial contact ratio". This can
be both confusing and annoying. Therefore, since this technical section
is being used outside Japan, and the American term is more realistically
descriptive, in this text we will use the American term "circular" where it is
meaningful. However, the applicable Japanese symbol will be used. Other
examples of giving preference to the American terminology will be identified
where it occurs.

SECTION 2

INTRODUCTION TO GEAR TECHNOLOGY

This section presents a technical coverage of gear fundamentals. It is


intended as a broad coverage written in a manner that is easy to follow and
to understand by anyone interested in knowing how gear systems function.
Since gearing involves specialty components, it is expected that not all
designers and engineers possess or have been exposed to every aspect of
this subject. However, for proper use of gear components and design of gear
systems it is essential to have a minimum understanding of gear basics and

a reference source for details.


For those to whom this is their first encounter with gear components,
it is suggested this technical treatise be read in the order presented so as
to obtain a logical development of the subject. Subsequently, and for those
already familiar with gears, this material can be used selectively in random
access as a design reference.

2.1 Basic Geometry Of Spur Gears

all positions of the contacting teeth, pass through a fixed point on the lineof-centers called the pitch point."
Any two curves or profiles engaging each other and satisfying the law
of gearing are conjugate curves.

The fundamentals of gearing are illustrated through the spur gear


tooth, both because it is the simplest, and hence most comprehensible, and
because it is the form most widely used, particularly for instruments and
control systems.
The basic geometry and nomenclature of a spur gear mesh is shown
in Figure 2-1. The essential features of a gear mesh are:




2.3 The Involute Curve


There is almost an infinite number of curves that can be developed to
satisfy the law of gearing, and many different curve forms have been tried
in the past. Modern gearing (except for clock gears) is based on involute
teeth. This is due to three major advantages of the involute curve:

1. Center distance.
2. The pitch circle diameters (or pitch diameters).
3. Size of teeth (or module).
4. Number of teeth.
5. Pressure angle of the contacting involutes.

1. Conjugate action is independent of changes in center


distance.
2. The form of the basic rack tooth is straight-sided, and
therefore is relatively simple and can be accurately
made; as a generating tool it imparts high accuracy to
the cut gear tooth.
3. One cutter can generate all gear teeth numbers of the
same pitch.

Details of these items along with their interdependence and definitions


are covered in subsequent paragraphs.


The involute curve is most easily understood as the
trace of a point at the end of a taut string that unwinds from
a cylinder. It is imagined that a point on a string, which is
pulled taut in a fixed direction, projects its trace onto a plane
that rotates with the base circle. See Figure 2-2. The base
cylinder, or base circle as referred to in gear literature, fully
defines the form of the involute and in a gear it is an inherent
parameter, though invisible.

Generation of an Involute
by a Taut String


The development and action of mating teeth can be
visualized by imagining the taut string as being unwound
from one base circle and wound on to the other, as
shown in Figure 2-3a. Thus, a single point on the string
simultaneously traces an involute on each base circle's
rotating plane. This pair of involutes is conjugate, since at
all points of contact the common normal is the common
tangent which passes through a fixed point on the line-ofcenters. If a second winding/unwinding taut string is wound
around the base circles in the opposite direction, Figure
2-3b, oppositely curved involutes are generated which can
accommodate motion reversal. When the involute pairs are
properly spaced, the result is the involute gear tooth, Figure
2-3c.

Basic Gear Geometry

2.2 The Law Of Gearing


A primary requirement of gears is the constancy of angular velocities
or proportionality of position transmission. Precision instruments require
positioning fidelity. High-speed and/or high-power gear trains also require
transmission at constant angular velocities in order to avoid severe dynamic
problems.
Constant velocity (i.e., constant ratio) motion transmission is defined as
"conjugate action" of the gear tooth profiles. A geometric relationship can be
derived (2, 12)* for the form of the tooth profiles to provide conjugate action,
which is summarized as the Law of Gearing as follows:
"A common normal to the tooth profiles at their point of contact must, in

2.4 Pitch Circles


Referring to Figure 2-4, the tangent to the two base circles is the line
of contact, or line-of-action in gear vernacular. Where this line crosses the
line-of-centers establishes the pitch point, P. This in turn sets the size of the
pitch circles, or as commonly called, the pitch diameters. The ratio of the
pitch diameters gives the velocity ratio:

2.6 Module Sizes And Standards
Module m represents the size of involute gear tooth. The unit of
module is mm. Module is converted to circular pitch p, by the factor .
p = m

(2-6)

Table 2-1 is extracted from JIS B 1701-1973 which defines the tooth
profile and dimensions of involute gears. It divides the standard module into
three series. Figure 2-6 shows the comparative size of various rack teeth.

2.5 Pitch And Module


Essential to prescribing gear geometry is the size, or spacing of the
teeth along the pitch circle. This is termed pitch, and there are two basic
forms.
Circular pitch A naturally conceived linear measure along the pitch
circle of the tooth spacing. Referring to Figure 2-5, it is the linear distance
(measured along the pitch circle arc) between corresponding points of
adjacent teeth. It is equal to the pitch-circle circumference divided by the
number of teeth:

Module Metric gearing uses the quantity module m in place of
the American inch unit, diametral pitch. The module is the length of pitch
diameter per tooth. Thus:

z
Relation of pitches: From the geometry that defines the two pitches, it
can be shown that module and circular pitch are related by the expression:
p

m
This relationship is simple to remember and permits an easy
transformation from one to the other.

Note: The preferred choices are in the series order


beginning with 1.
Circular pitch, p, is also used to represent tooth size when a special desired
spacing is wanted, such as to get an integral feed in a mechanism. In this
case, a circular pitch is chosen that is an integer or a special fractional value.
This is often the choice in designing position control systems. Another
particular usage is the drive of printing plates to provide a given feed.
Most involute gear teeth have the standard whole depth and a standard
pressure angle = 20. Figure 2-7 shows the tooth profile of a whole depth
standard rack tooth and mating gear. It has an addendum of ha = 1m and
dedendum hf 1.25m. If tooth depth is shorter than whole depth it is called
a stub tooth; and if deeper than whole depth it is a high depth tooth.
The most widely used stub tooth has an addendum ha = 0.8m and
dedendum hf = 1m. Stub teeth have more strength than a whole depth
gear, but contact ratio is reduced. On the other hand, a high depth tooth
can increase contact ratio, but weakens the tooth.
In the standard involute gear, pitch p times the number of teeth
becomes the length of pitch circle:
d = mz

Pitch diameter d is then:

Comparative Size of Various Rack Teeth

Metric Module and Inch Gear Preferences: Because there is no


direct equivalence between the pitches in metric and inch systems, it is not
possible to make direct substitutions. Further, there are preferred modules
in the metric system. As an aid in using metric gears, Table 2-2 presents
nearest equivalents for both systems, with the preferred sizes in bold type.

Spur and helical gears are the parallel axes gears. Bevel gears are
the intersecting axes gears. Screw or crossed helical, worm and hypoid
gears handle the third category. Table 2-3 lists the gear types per axes
orientation.
Also, included in Table 2-3 is the theoretical efficiency range of the
various gear types. These figures do not include bearing and lubricant
losses. Also, they assume ideal mounting in regard to axis orientation and
center distance. Inclusion of these realistic considerations will downgrade
the efficiency numbers.

2.7.1 Parallel Axes Gears

2.7.2 Intersecting Axes Gears

1. Straight Bevel Gear

1. Spur Gear

This is a gear in which


the teeth have tapered conical
elements that have the same
direction as the pitch cone base
line (generatrix). The straight
bevel gear is both the simplest
to produce and the most widely
applied in the bevel gear family.

This is a cylindrical shaped gear in


which the teeth are parallel to the axis. It
has the largest applications and, also, it is
the easiest to manufacture.

Straight Bevel Gear

Spur Gear

2. Spur Rack

2. Spiral Bevel Gear

This is a linear shaped gear which


can mesh with a spur gear with any
number of teeth. The spur rack is a
portion of a spur gear with an infinite
radius.

Fig. 2-9

This is a bevel gear with a


helical angle of spiral teeth. It is
much more complex to manufacture,
but offers a higher strength and
lower noise.

Spur Rack

3. Internal Gear
3. Zerol Gear

This is a cylindrical shaped gear


but with the teeth inside the circular
ring. It can mesh with a spur gear.
Internal gears are often used in planetary gear systems.
Fig. 2-10

Spur Gear

4. Helical Gear

Spiral Bevel Gear

Zerol gear is a special case of


spiral bevel gear. It is a spiral bevel
with zero degree of spiral angle tooth
advance. It has the characteristics
of both the straight and spiral bevel
gears. The forces acting upon the
tooth are the same as for a straight
bevel gear.

This is a cylindrical shaped gear


with helicoid teeth. Helical gears can
bear more load than spur gears, and
work more quietly. They are widely used
in industry. A disadvantage is the axial
thrust force the helix form causes.

This is a linear shaped gear which
meshes with a helical gear. Again, it
can be regarded as a portion of a helical
gear with infinite radius.

Helical Rack

Worm set is the name for a


meshed worm and worm gear. The
worm resembles a screw thread; and
the mating worm gear a helical gear,
except that it is made to envelope the
worm as seen along the worm's axis.
The outstanding feature is that the
Fig. 2-17
Worm Gear
worm offers a very large gear ratio in
a single mesh. However, transmission
efficiency is very poor due to a great
amount of sliding as the worm tooth engages with its mating worm gear tooth
and forces rotation by pushing and sliding. With proper choices of materials
and lubrication, wear can be contained and noise is reduced.
2. Screw Gear (Crossed Helical Gear)

6. Double Helical Gear

Two helical gears of opposite helix


angle will mesh if their axes are crossed. As
separate gear components, they are merely
conventional helical gears. Installation on
crossed axes converts them to screw gears.
They offer a simple means of gearing skew
axes at any angle. Because they have point
contact, their load carrying capacity is very
limited.

This is a gear with both lefthand and right-hand helical teeth.


The double helical form balances
the inherent thrust forces.

1. Face Gear
This is a pseudobevel gear that is
limited to 90O intersecting axes. The face
gear is a circular disc with a ring of teeth
cut in its side face; hence the name face
gear. Tooth elements are tapered towards
its center. The mate is an ordinary spur
gear. It offers no advantages over the
standard bevel gear, except that it can
be fabricated on an ordinary shaper gear
generating machine.

Fig. 3-1 Definition of Pressure Angle




Figure 3-2 shows a pair of standard gears meshing together. The contact
point of the two involutes, as Figure 3-2 shows, slides along the common
tangent of the two base circles as rotation occurs. The common tangent is
called the line-of-contact, or line-of-action.
A pair of gears can only mesh correctly if the pitches and the pressure
angles are the same. Pitch comparison can be module m, circular p, or
base pb.
That the pressure angles must be identical becomes obvious from the
following equation for base pitch:

Face Gear

2. Double Enveloping Worm Gear


This worm set uses a special
worm shape in that it partially envelops the worm gear as viewed in
the direction of the worm gear axis.
Its big advantage over the standard
worm is much higher load capacity.
However, the worm gear is very com- Fig. 2-20
plicated to design and produce, and
sources for manufacture are few.

pb = m cos

(3-3)

Thus, if the pressure angles are different, the base pitches cannot be
identical.
The length of the line-of-action is shown as ab in Figure 3-2.

3. Hypoid Gear
This is a deviation from a bevel
gear that originated as a special
development for the automobile
industry. This permitted the drive to
the rear axle to be nonintersecting,
and thus allowed the auto body to
be lowered. It looks very much like
the spiral bevel gear. However, it
is complicated to design and is the
most difficult to produce on a bevel
gear generator.

3.1 Pressure Angle

The pressure angle is defined as the angle between the line-ofaction (common tangent to the base circles in Figures 2-3 and 2-4) and a
perpendicular to the line-of-centers. See Figure 3-1. From the geometry
of these figures, it is obvious that the pressure angle varies (slightly) as the
center distance of a gear pair is altered. The base circle is related to the
pressure angle and pitch diameter by the equation:
db = d cos

where d and are the standard values, or alternately:

where d' and ' are the exact operating values.

The basic formula shows that the larger the pressure angle the smaller
the base circle. Thus, for standard gears, 14.5 pressure angle gears have
base circles much nearer to the roots of teeth than 20 gears. It is for this
reason that 14.5 gears encounter greater undercutting problems than 20
gears. This is further elaborated on in SECTION 4.3.
3.2 Proper Meshing And Contact Ratio

Fig. 3-2

T17

The Meshing of Involute Gear

3.2.1 Contact Ratio

To assure smooth continuous tooth action, as one pair of teeth


ceases contact a succeeding pair of teeth must already have come into
engagement. It is desirable to have as much overlap as possible. The
measure of this overlapping is the contact ratio. This is a ratio of the length
of the line-of-action to the base pitch. Figure 3-3 shows the geometry. The
length-of-action is determined from the intersection of the line-of-action and
the outside radii. For the simple case of a pair of spur gears, the ratio of the
length-of-action to the base pitch is determined from:


(Ra2
Rb2) + (ra2 rb2) a sin
=


p cos

(3-4)

Function of , or inv, is known as involute function. Involute function


is very important in gear design. Involute function values can be obtained
from appropriate tables. With the center of the base circle O at the origin
of a coordinate system, the involute curve can be expressed by values of x
and y as follows:

rb
x = r cos(inv) =
cos(inv)

cos


rb

y = r sin(inv) =
sin(inv)

cos


rb
where, r =
.
cos

It is good practice to maintain a contact ratio of 1.2 or greater. Under no


circumstances should the ratio drop below 1.1, calculated for all tolerances
at their worst-case values.

(3-7)

A contact ratio between 1 and 2 means that part of the time two pairs
of teeth are in contact and during the remaining time one pair is in contact.
A ratio between 2 and 3 means 2 or 3 pairs of teeth are always in contact.
Such a high contact ratio generally is not obtained with external spur gears,
but can be developed in the meshing of an internal and external spur gear
pair or specially designed nonstandard external spur gears.

equations for specific gear types, in SECTION 11.

4.3 Undercutting
From Figure 4-3, it can be seen that the maximum length of the
line-of-contact is limited to the length of the common tangent. Any tooth
addendum that extends beyond the tangent points (T and T') is not only
useless, but interferes with the root fillet area of the mating tooth. This
results in the typical undercut tooth, shown in Figure 4-4. The undercut not
only weakens the tooth with a wasp-like waist, but also removes some of
the useful involute adjacent to the base circle.

Note that the numbers of teeth probably will not be integer values
by calculation with the formulas in Table 4-2. Then it is incumbent upon
the designer to choose a set of integer numbers of teeth that are as close
as possible to the theoretical values. This will likely result in both slightly
changed gear ratio and center distance. Should the center distance be
inviolable, it will then be necessary to resort to profile shifting. This will be
discussed later in this section.

4.2 The Generating Of A Spur Gear

Fig. 4-3

Geometry of Contact Ratio

Involute gears can be readily generated by rack type cutters. The hob
is in effect a rack cutter. Gear generation is also accomplished with gear
type cutters using a shaper or planer machine.
Figure 4-2 illustrates
how an involute gear tooth

profile is generated. It
shows how the pitch line
of a rack cutter rolling on a
pitch circle generates a spur
gear.

The Generating of a Standard Spur Gear ( = 20, z = 10, x = 0)

Example of Undercut Standard


Design Gear
(12 Teeth, 20 Pressure Angle)

From the geometry of the limiting length-of-contact (T-T', Figure 4-3),


it is evident that interference is first encountered by the addenda of the
gear teeth digging into the mating-pinion tooth flanks. Since addenda are
standardized by a fixed value (ha = m), the interference condition becomes
more severe as the number of teeth on the mating gear increases. The limit
is reached when the gear becomes a rack. This is a realistic case since the
hob is a rack-type cutter. The result is that standard gears with teeth

T19

numbers below a critical value are automatically undercut in the generating


process. The condition for no undercutting in a standard spur gear is given
by the expression:

mz

Max addendum = ha sin2

and the minimum number of teeth is:



(4-1)

zc


sin2


This indicates that the minimum number of teeth free of undercutting
decreases with increasing pressure angle. For 14.5 the value of zc is 32,
and for 20 it is 18. Thus, 20 pressure angle gears with low numbers of
teeth have the advantage of much less undercutting and, therefore, are both
stronger and smoother acting.

Undercutting will get worse if a negative correction is applied.


See Figure 4-7.

4.4 Enlarged Pinions

Undercutting of pinion teeth is undesirable because of losses of


strength, contact ratio and smoothness of action. The severity of these
faults depends upon how far below zc the teeth number is. Undercutting for
the first few numbers is small and in many applications its adverse effects
can be neglected.
For very small numbers of teeth, such as ten and smaller, and for highprecision applications, undercutting should be avoided. This is achieved
by pinion enlargement (or correction as often termed), wherein the pinion
teeth, still generated
with a standard cutter,
are shifted radially
outward to form a full
involute tooth free of
undercut. The tooth is
enlarged both radially

and circumferentially.

enlargement is shown
in Figure 4-5.

(13 Teeth, 20 Pressure Angle, Fine

As Figure 4-2
shows, a gear with 20 degrees of pressure angle and 10 teeth will have a
huge undercut volume. To prevent undercut, a positive correction must
be introduced. A positive
correction, as in Figure 4-6,
Rack Form Tool
can prevent undercut.

Fig. 4-7

The extra feed of gear cutter (xm) in Figures 4-6 and 4-7 is the amount
of shift or correction. And x is the shift coefficient.

Profile shift is not merely used to prevent undercut. It can be used to

If a positive correction is applied, such as to prevent undercut in a
pinion, the tooth thickness at top is thinner.

In the meshing of profile shifted gears, it is the operating pitch circles


that are in contact and roll on each other that portrays gear action. The
standard pitch circles no longer are of significance; and the operating
pressure angle is what matters.
A standard spur gear is, according to Table 4-4, a profile shifted gear
with 0 coefficient of shift; that is, x1 = x2 = 0.
Table 4-5 is the inverse formula of items from 4 to 8 of Table 4-4.
There are several theories concerning how to distribute the sum
of coefficient of profile shift, x1 + x2, into pinion, x1, and gear, x2, separately.
BSS (British) and DIN (German) standards are the most often used. In the
example above, the 12 tooth pinion was given sufficient correction to prevent
undercut, and the residual profile shift was given to the mating gear.

4.7 Rack And Spur Gear


Table 4-6 presents the method for calculating the mesh of a rack and
spur gear. Figure 4-9a shows the pitch circle of a standard gear and the
pitch line of the rack.
One rotation of the spur gear will displace the rack l one circumferential
length of the gear's pitch circle, per the formula:
l = mz

(4-6)

Table 4-6

Figure 4-9b shows a profile shifted spur gear, with positive correction
xm, meshed with a rack. The spur gear has a larger pitch radius than
standard, by the amount xm. Also, the pitch line of the rack has shifted
outward by the amount xm.
Table 4-6 presents the calculation of a meshed profile shifted spur gear
and rack. If the correction factor x1 is 0, then it is the case of a standard gear
meshed with the rack.
The rack displacement, l, is not changed in any way by the profile
shifting. Equation (4-6) remains applicable for any amount of profile shift.

to 22 (zc = 15 to 22). Table 5-3b shows the limit for a profile shifted pinion
cutter to prevent trimming interference while cutting a standard internal gear.
The correction, xc, is the magnitude of shift which was assumed to be: xc =
0.0075 zc + 0.05.
Table 5-3b

(c) Trimming Interference


This occurs in the radial direction in that it prevents pulling the gears
apart. Thus, the mesh must be assembled by sliding the gears together with
an axial motion. It tends to happen when the numbers of teeth of the two
gears are very close. Equation (5-9) indicates how to prevent this type of
interference.

There will be an involute interference between the internal gear and


the pinion cutter if the number of teeth of the pinion cutter ranges from 15
to 19 (zc = 15 to 19).

5.3 Internal Gear With Small Differences In Numbers Of Teeth


In the meshing of an internal gear and an external gear, if the difference
in numbers of teeth of two gears is quite small, a profile shifted gear
could prevent the interference. Table 5-4 is an example of how to prevent
interference under the conditions of z2 = 50 and the difference of numbers of

This type of interference can occur in the process of cutting an internal


gear with a pinion cutter. Should that happen, there is danger of breaking
the tooling. Table 5-3a shows the limit for the pinion cutter to prevent
trimming interference when cutting a standard internal gear, with pressure
angle 20, and no profile shift, i.e., xc = 0.

All combinations above will not cause involute interference or trochoid
interference, but trimming interference is still there. In order to assemble
successfully, the external gear should be assembled by inserting in the axial
direction.
A profile shifted internal gear and external gear, in which the difference
of numbers of teeth is small, belong to the field of hypocyclic mechanism,
which can produce a large reduction ratio in one step, such as 1/100.

In Figure 5-2 the gear train has a difference of numbers of teeth of only

ax

plane is unwrapped, analogous to the unwinding taut string of the spur


gear in Figure 2-2. On the plane there is a straight line AB, which when
wrapped on the base cylinder has a helical trace AoBo. As the taut plane
is unwrapped, any point on the line AB can be visualized as tracing an
involute from the base cylinder. Thus, there is an infinite series of involutes
generated by line AB, all alike, but displaced in phase along a helix on the
base cylinder.
Again, a concept analogous to the spur gear tooth development is to
imagine the taut plane being wound from one base cylinder on to another as
the base cylinders rotate in opposite directions. The result is the generation
of a pair of conjugate helical involutes. If a reverse direction of rotation is
assumed and a second tangent plane is arranged so that it crosses the first,
a complete involute helicoid tooth is formed.
6.2 Fundamentals Of Helical Teeth

Fig. 5-2

SECTION 6

In the plane of rotation, the helical gear tooth is involute and all of the
relationships governing spur gears apply to the helical. However, the axial
twist of the teeth introduces a helix angle. Since the helix angle varies from
the base of the tooth to the outside radius, the helix angle is defined as
the angle between the tangent to the helicoidal tooth at the intersection of
the pitch cylinder and the tooth profile, and an element of the pitch cylinder.
See Figure 6-3.
The direction of the helical twist is designated as either left or right. The
direction is defined by the right-hand rule.
For helical gears, there are two related pitches one in the plane of

The Meshing of Internal Gear and External Gear

(z2 z1 = 1)
HELICAL GEARS

Tangent to Helical Tooth

The helical gear differs from the


spur gear in that its teeth are twisted
along a helical path in the axial
direction. It resembles the spur gear
in the plane of rotation, but in the axial
direction it is as if there were a series
of staggered spur gears. See Figure
6-1. This design brings forth a number
of different features relative to the spur
gear, two of the most important being
as follows:

Cylinder
(or gear's
axis)

Fig. 6-1

Helix

Helical Gear

1. Tooth strength is improved


because of the elongated helical
wraparound tooth base support.
2. Contact ratio is increased due to the axial tooth overlap. Helical gears
thus tend to have greater load carrying capacity than spur gears of the
same size. Spur gears, on the other hand, have a somewhat higher
efficiency.
Helical gears are used in two forms:
1. Parallel shaft applications, which is the largest usage.
2. Crossed-helicals (also called spiral or screw gears) for connecting
skew shafts, usually at right angles.
6.1 Generation Of The Helical Tooth
The helical tooth form is involute in the plane of rotation and can be
developed in a manner similar to that of the spur gear. However, unlike
the spur gear which can be viewed essentially as two dimensional, the
helical gear must be portrayed in three dimensions to show changing axial
features.
Referring to Figure 6-2, there is a base cylinder from which a taut

rotation and the other in a plane normal to the


tooth. In addition, there is an axial pitch.
Referring to Figure 6-4, the two circular
pitches are defined and related as follows:
pn = pt cos = normal circular pitch

(6-1)

The normal circular pitch is less than the


transverse radial pitch, pt, in the plane of rotation; the ratio between the two being equal to
the cosine of the helix angle.
Consistent with this, the normal module is
less than the transverse (radial) module.
The axial pitch of a helical gear, px, is the
distance between corresponding points of
adjacent teeth measured parallel to the gear's
axis see Figure 6-5. Axial pitch is related to

view, or in the plane perpendicular to the axis. The helical gear has two
kinds of tooth profiles one is based on a normal system, the other is based
on an axial system.
Circular pitch measured perpendicular to teeth is called normal circular
pitch, pn. And pn divided by is then a normal module, mn.

pn
mn =
(6-3)


The tooth profile of a helical gear with applied normal module, mn, and
normal pressure angle n belongs to a normal system.
In the axial view, the circular pitch on the standard pitch circle is called
the radial circular pitch, pt. And pt divided by is the radial module, mt.

pt
mt =
(6-4)

Because of the nature of tooth generation with a rack-type hob, a single


tool can generate helical gears at all helix angles as well as spur gears.
However, this means the normal pitch is the common denominator, and
usually is taken as a standard value. Since the true involute features are
in the transverse plane, they will differ from the standard normal values.
Hence, there is a real need for relating parameters in the two reference
planes.
6.6 Helical Tooth Proportions
These follow the same standards as those for spur gears. Addendum,
dedendum, whole depth and clearance are the same regardless of whether
measured in the plane of rotation or the normal plane. Pressure angle and
pitch are usually specified as standard values in the normal plane, but there
are times when they are specified as standard in the transverse plane.
6.7 Parallel Shaft Helical Gear Meshes
Fundamental information for the design of gear meshes is as follows:
Helix angle Both gears of a meshed pair must have the same
helix angle. However, the helix direction must be opposite; i.e., a
left-hand mates with a right-hand helix.

6.3 Equivalent Spur Gear


The true involute pitch and involute geometry of a helical gear is in
the plane of rotation. However, in the normal plane, looking at one tooth,
there is a resemblance to an involute tooth of a pitch corresponding to the
normal pitch. However, the shape of the tooth corresponds to a spur gear
of a larger number of teeth, the exact value depending on the magnitude of
the helix angle.
The geometric basis of deriving the number of teeth in this equivalent
tooth form spur gear is given in Figure 6-7. The result of the transposed
geometry is an equivalent number of teeth, given as:

Center distance Utilizing Equation (6-7), the center distance
of a helical gear mesh is:

Note that for standard parameters in the normal plane, the center
distance will not be a standard value compared to standard spur gears.
Further, by manipulating the helix angle, , the center distance can be
adjusted over a wide range of values. Conversely, it is possible:

1. to compensate for significant center distance changes (or errors)


without changing the speed ratio between parallel geared shafts;
and
2. to alter the speed ratio between parallel geared shafts, without
changing the center distance, by manipulating the helix angle
along with the numbers of teeth.

6.8 Helical Gear Contact Ratio

It is not that simple in the radial system. The gear hob design must
be altered in accordance with the changing of helix angle , even when the
module mt and the pressure angle t are the same.
Obviously, the manufacturing of helical gears is easier with the normal
system than with the radial system in the plane perpendicular to the axis.

The contact ratio of helical gears is enhanced by the axial overlap of


the teeth. Thus, the contact ratio is the sum of the transverse contact ratio,
calculated in the same manner as for spur gears, and a term involving the
axial pitch.

6.10.1 Normal System Helical Gear


In the normal system, the calculation of a profile shifted helical gear, the
working pitch diameter dw and working pressure angle wt in the axial system
is done per Equations (6-10). That is because meshing of the helical gears
in the axial direction is just like spur gears and the calculation is similar.

Details of contact ratio of helical gearing are given later in a general

6.9 Design Considerations


6.9.1 Involute Interference
Helical gears cut with standard normal pressure angles can have
considerably higher pressure angles in the plane of rotation see Equation
(6-6) depending on the helix angle. Therefore, the minimum number of
teeth without undercutting can be significantly reduced, and helical gears
having very low numbers of teeth without undercutting are feasible.

In the normal system, helical gears can be cut by the same gear hob if
module mn and pressure angle n are constant, no matter what the value of
helix angle .

Viewed in the normal direction, the meshing of a helical rack and gear
is the same as a spur gear and rack. Table 6-6 presents the calculation
examples for a mated helical rack with normal module and normal pressure
angle standard values. Similarly, Table 6-7 presents examples for a helical
rack in the radial system (i.e., perpendicular to gear axis).

Table 6-3 shows the calculation of profile shifted helical gears in a


radial system. They become standard if xt1 = xt2 = 0.

The formulas of a standard helical rack are similar to those of Table 6-6
with only the normal coefficient of profile shift xn =0. To mesh a helical gear
to a helical rack, they must have the same helix angle but with opposite
hands.
The displacement of the helical rack, l, for one rotation of the mating
gear is the product of the radial pitch, pt , and number of teeth.

l =
z = pt z

(6-13)

According to the equations of Table 6-7, let radial pitch pt = 8 mm and


displacement l = 160 mm. The radial pitch and the displacement could be
modified into integers, if the helix angle were chosen properly.
In the axial system, the linear displacement of the helical rack, l, for one
turn of the helical gear equals the integral multiple of radial pitch.
l = zmt

SCREW GEAR OR CROSSED HELICAL GEAR MESHES

These helical gears are also known as spiral gears. They are true
helical gears and only differ in their application for interconnecting skew
shafts, such as in Figure 7-1. Screw gears can be designed to connect
shafts at any angle, but in most applications the shafts are at right angles.

ratio) cannot be determined from the ratio of pitch diameters, since these can
be altered by juggling of helix angles. The speed ratio can be determined

7.3 Axial Thrust Of Helical Gears


In both parallel-shaft and crossed-shaft applications, helical gears
develop an axial thrust load. This is a useless force that loads gear teeth
and bearings and must accordingly be considered in the housing and
bearing design. In some special instrument designs, this thrust load can
be utilized to actuate face clutches, provide a friction drag, or other special
purpose. The magnitude of the thrust load depends on the helix angle and

Table 7-1

(7-8)

WT = axial thrust load, and


W t = transmitted load.
The direction of the thrust load is related to the
hand of the gear and the direction of rotation. This is
depicted in Figure 7-1. When the helix angle is larger
than about 20, the use of double helical gears with
opposite hands (Figure 7-3a) or herringbone gears
(Figure 7-3b) is worth considering.
More detail on thrust force of helical gears is
presented in SECTION 16.

BEVEL GEARING

For intersecting shafts, bevel


gears offer a good means of
transmitting motion and power.
Most transmissions occur at right
angles, Figure 8-1, but the shaft
angle can be any value. Ratios
up to 4:1 are common, although
higher ratios are possible as well.

Pitch Line

Bevel gears have tapered elements because they are generated and
operate, in theory, on the surface of a sphere. Pitch diameters of mating
bevel gears belong to frusta of cones, as shown in Figure 8-2a. In the full
development on the surface of a sphere, a pair of meshed bevel gears are
in conjugate engagement as shown in Figure 8-2b.

8.2 Bevel Gear Tooth Proportions

P'

Bevel gear teeth are proportioned in accordance with the standard


system of tooth proportions used for spur gears. However, the pressure
angle of all standard design bevel gears is limited to 20. Pinions with a
small number of teeth are enlarged automatically when the design follows
the Gleason system.
Since bevel-tooth elements are tapered, tooth dimensions and pitch
diameter are referenced to the outer end (heel). Since the narrow end of
the teeth (toe) vanishes at the pitch apex (center of reference generating
sphere), there is a practical limit to the length (face) of a bevel gear. The
geometry and identification of bevel gear parts is given in Figure 8-5.

Pitch Cones of Bevel Gears

The crown gear, which is a bevel gear having the largest possible pitch
angle (defined in Figure 8-3), is analogous to the rack of spur gearing, and
is the basic tool for generating bevel gears. However, for practical reasons,
the tooth form is not that of a spherical involute, and instead, the crown gear
profile assumes a slightly simplified form. Although the deviation from a true
spherical involute is minor, it results in a line-of-action having a figure-8 trace
in its extreme extension; see Figure 8-4. This shape gives rise to the name
"octoid" for the tooth form of modern bevel gears.

8.4 Forms Of Bevel Teeth *


In the simplest design, the tooth elements are straight radial,
converging at the cone apex. However, it is possible to have the teeth curve
along a spiral as they converge on the cone apex, resulting in greater tooth
overlap, analogous to the overlapping action of helical teeth. The result is
a spiral bevel tooth. In addition, there are other possible variations. One is
the zerol bevel, which is a curved tooth having elements that start and end
on the same radial line.
Straight bevel gears come in two
variations depending upon the fabrication
equipment. All current Gleason straight
bevel generators are of the Coniflex form
which gives an almost imperceptible
convexity to the tooth surfaces. Older
machines produce true straight elements.
See Figure 8-6a.
Straight bevel gears are the simplest
and most widely used type of bevel gears
(a) Straight Teeth
for the transmission of power and/or
motion between intersecting shafts.
Straight bevel gears are recommended:

1. When speeds are less than


300 meters/min (1000 feet/min)
at higher speeds, straight bevel
gears may be noisy.
2. When loads are light, or for high
static loads when surface wear is
not a critical factor.
3. When space, gear weight, and
mountings are a premium. This
includes planetary gear sets,
where space does not permit
the inclusion of rolling-element
bearings.

Other forms of bevel gearing include the


following:

(c) Spiral Teeth
are produced by current Gleason
straight bevel gear generating machines
that crown the sides of the teeth in
their lengthwise direction. The teeth,
therefore, tolerate small amounts of
misalignment in the assembly of the
gears and some displacement of the
gears under load without concentrating
the tooth contact at the ends of the
teeth. Thus, for the operating conditions,
(d) Zerol Teeth
Coniflex gears are capable of transmitting

Fig. 8-6
Forms of Bevel
Gleason straight bevel gears.
Gear Teeth
Spiral bevels (Figure 8-6c) have
curved oblique teeth which contact each
other gradually and smoothly from one end to the other. Imagine cutting a
straight bevel into an infinite number of short face width sections, angularly
displace one relative to the other, and one has a spiral bevel gear. Welldesigned spiral bevels have two or more teeth in contact at all times. The
overlapping tooth action transmits motion more smoothly and quietly than
with straight bevel gears.
*

Zerol bevels (Figure 8-6d) have curved teeth similar to those of the
spiral bevels, but with zero spiral angle at the middle of the face width; and
they have little end thrust.
Both spiral and Zerol gears can be cut on the same machines with the
same circular face-mill cutters or ground on the same grinding machines.
Both are produced with localized tooth contact which can be controlled for
length, width, and shape.
Functionally, however, Zerol bevels are similar to the straight bevels
and thus carry the same ratings. In fact, Zerols can be used in the place of
straight bevels without mounting changes.
Zerol bevels are widely employed in the aircraft industry, where groundtooth precision gears are generally required. Most hypoid cutting machines
can cut spiral bevel, Zerol or hypoid gears.

Miter gears are bevel gears with = 90 and z1 = z2. Their speed ratio
z1 / z2 = 1. They only change the direction of the shaft, but do not change
the speed.
Figure 8-8 depicts the meshing of bevel gears. The meshing must
be considered in pairs. It is because the pitch cone angles 1 and 2 are
restricted by the gear ratio z1 / z2. In the facial view, which is normal to the
contact line of pitch cones, the meshing of bevel gears appears to be similar
to the meshing of spur gears.

The Meshing of Bevel Gears

In this section, we discuss the Gleason straight bevel gear. The Gleason
Company defined the tooth profile as: whole depth h =2.188m ; top
clearance ca = 0.188m; and working depth hw = 2.000m.
The characteristics are:
Design specified profile shifted gears:
In the Gleason system, the pinion is positive shifted and the gear is
negative shifted. The reason is to distribute the proper strength between
the two gears. Miter gears, thus, do not need any shifted tooth profile.
The top clearance is designed to be parallel
The outer cone elements of two paired bevel gears are parallel. That
is to ensure that the top clearance along the whole tooth is the same. For
the standard bevel gears, top clearance is variable. It is smaller at the toe
and bigger at the heel.
Table 8-1 shows the minimum number of teeth to prevent undercut in
the Gleason system at the shaft angle = 90.
Table 8-2 presents equations for designing straight bevel gears in the
Gleason system. The meanings of the dimensions and angles are shown
in Figure 8-9. All the equations in Table 8-2 can also be applied to bevel
gears with any shaft angle.
The straight bevel gear with crowning in the Gleason system is called a
Coniflex gear. It is manufactured by a special Gleason Coniflex machine.
It can successfully eliminate poor tooth wear due to improper mounting and
assembly.
The first characteristic of a Gleason straight bevel gear is its profile
shifted tooth. From Figure 8-10, we can see the positive tooth profile shift
in the pinion. The tooth thickness at the root diameter of a Gleason pinion
is larger than that of a standard straight bevel gear.

8.5.2. Standard Straight Bevel Gears

A bevel gear with no profile shifted tooth is a standard straight bevel


gear. The applicable equations are in Table 8-3.
These equations can also be applied to bevel gear sets with other than
90 shaft angle.

8.5.3 Gleason Spiral Bevel Gears

A spiral bevel gear is one with a spiral tooth flank as in Figure 8-11.
The spiral is generally consistent with the curve of a cutter with the diameter
dc. The spiral angle is the angle between a generatrix element of the pitch
cone and the tooth flank. The spiral angle just at the tooth flank center is
called central spiral angle m. In practice, spiral angle means central spiral
angle.
All equations in Table 8-6 are dedicated for the manufacturing method
of Spread Blade or of Single Side from Gleason. If a gear is not cut per the
Gleason system, the equations will be different from these.
The tooth profile of a Gleason spiral bevel gear shown here has the
whole depth h = 1.888m; top clearance ca = 0.188m; and working depth hw
= 1.700m. These Gleason spiral bevel gears belong to a stub gear system.
This is applicable to gears with modules m > 2.1.
Table 8-4 shows the minimum number of teeth to avoid undercut in the
Gleason system with shaft angle = 90 and pressure angle n = 20.
If the number of teeth is less than 12, Table 8-5 is used to determine
the gear sizes.
All equations in Table 8-6 are also applicable to Gleason bevel gears
with any shaft angle. A spiral bevel gear set requires matching of hands;
left-hand and right-hand as a pair.

WORM MESH

The worm mesh is another gear type used for connecting skew
shafts, usually 90. See Figure 9-1. Worm meshes are characterized by
high velocity ratios. Also, they offer the advantage of higher load capacity
associated with their line contact in contrast to the point contact of the
crossed-helical mesh.

Fig. 9-1

T37

Typical Worm Mesh

9.1 Worm Mesh Geometry

Although the worm


tooth form can be of a
variety, the most popular
is equivalent to a V-type
screw thread, as in Figure
9-1. The mating worm
gear teeth have a helical
lead. (Note: The name
worm wheel is often
used interchangeably with
worm gear.) A central section of the mesh,
taken through the worm's
O
axis and perpendicular
to the worm gear's axis, Fig. 9-2 Central Section of a Worm and
as shown in Figure 9-2,
Worm Gear
reveals a rack-type tooth
of the worm, and a curved
involute tooth form for the worm gear. However, the involute features are
only true for the central section. Sections on either side of the worm axis reveal nonsymmetric and noninvolute tooth profiles. Thus, a worm gear mesh
is not a true involute mesh. Also, for conjugate action, the center distance
of the mesh must be an exact duplicate of that used in generating the worm
gear.
To increase the length-of-action, the worm gear is made of a throated
shape to wrap around the worm.

Cylindrical worms may be considered cylindrical type gears with screw


threads. Generally, the mesh has a 90O shaft angle. The number of threads
in the worm is equivalent to the number of teeth in a gear of a screw type
gear mesh. Thus, a one-thread worm is equivalent to a one-tooth gear; and
two-threads equivalent to two-teeth, etc. Referring to Figure 9-4, for a lead
angle , measured on the pitch cylinder, each rotation of the worm makes
the thread advance one lead.

are four worm
tooth profiles

9.2 Cylindrical Worm Gear Calculations

The worm can be considered resembling a helical gear with a high


helix angle. For extremely high helix angles, there is one continuous tooth
or thread. For slightly smaller angles, there can be two, three or even more
threads. Thus, a worm is characterized by the number of threads, zw.

Examples are milling and grinding profile cutters.
Type IV Worm: This tooth profile is involute as viewed from the radial
surface or at the lead angle. It is an involute helicoid, and is known by that
name.
Type III worm is the most popular. In this type, the normal pressure
angle n has the tendency to become smaller than that of the cutter, c.
Per JIS, Type III worm uses a radial module mt and cutter pressure
angle c = 20 as the module and pressure angle. A special worm hob is
required to cut a Type III worm gear.
Standard values of radial module, mt, are presented in Table 9-1.

Reference to Figure 9-4 can help the understanding of the relationships
in Table 9-2. They are similar to the relations in Formulas (6-11) and (6-12)
that the helix angle be substituted by (90 ). We can consider that a
worm with lead angle is almost the same as a screw gear with helix angle
(90 ).

9.3 Crowning Of The Worm Gear Tooth


Crowning is critically important to worm gears (worm wheels). Not
only can it eliminate abnormal tooth contact due to incorrect assembly, but
it also provides for the forming of an oil film, which enhances the lubrication
effect of the mesh. This can favorably impact endurance and transmission
efficiency of the worm mesh. There are four methods of crowning worm
gears:

9.2.1 Axial Module Worm Gears

Table 9-3 presents the equations, for dimensions shown in Figure 9-5,
for worm gears with axial module, mx, and normal pressure angle n = 20.

1. Cut Worm Gear With A Hob Cutter Of Greater Pitch Diameter


Than The Worm.

A crownless worm gear


results when it is made by using
a hob that has an identical pitch
diameter as that of the worm.
This crownless worm gear is
very difficult to assemble corW
or
rectly. Proper tooth contact and
ob
m
H
a complete oil film are usually
not possible.
However, it is relatively
easy to obtain a crowned worm
gear by cutting it with a hob
whose pitch diameter is slightly
larger than that of the worm.
This is shown in Figure 9-6.
Fig. 9-6
The Method of Using a
This creates teeth contact in the

Greater Diameter Hob
center region with space for oil
film formation.

Worm Gear

9.2.2 Normal Module System Worm Gears

The equations for normal module system worm gears are based on a
normal module, mn, and normal pressure angle, n = 20. See Table 9-4.

Because the worm mesh couples nonparallel and nonintersecting axes,


the radial surface of the worm, or radial cross section, is the same as the
normal surface of the worm gear. Similarly, the normal surface of the worm
is the radial surface of the worm gear. The common surface of the worm
and worm gear is the normal surface. Using the normal module, mn, is most
popular. Then, an ordinary hob can be used to cut the worm gear.
Table 9-2 presents the relationships among worm and worm gear radial
surfaces, normal surfaces, axial surfaces, module, pressure angle, pitch and
lead.
Table 9-2

2. Recut With Hob Center Distance Adjustment.

The first step is to cut the


worm gear at standard center
distance. This results in no
crowning. Then the worm gear
is finished with the same hob
by recutting with the hob axis
shifted parallel to the worm gear
axis by h. This results in a
crowning effect, shown in Figure
9-7.

Fig. 9-7

Offsetting Up or Down

3. Hob Axis Inclining From Standard Position.

In standard cutting, the hob axis is oriented at the proper angle to the
worm gear axis. After that, the hob axis is shifted slightly left and then right,
, in a plane parallel to the worm gear axis, to cut a crown effect on the
worm gear tooth. This is shown in Figure 9-8.
Only method 1 is popular. Methods 2 and 3 are seldom used.

Gear.

This is a very complex method, both theoretically and practically.


Usually, the crowning is done to the worm gear, but in this method the
modification is on the worm. That is, to change the pressure angle and pitch
of the worm without changing the pitch line parallel to the axis, in accordance
with the relationships shown in Equations 9-4:

Self-locking is a unique characteristic of worm meshes that can be put


to advantage. It is the feature that a worm cannot be driven by the worm
gear. It is very useful in the design of some equipment, such as lifting, in
that the drive can stop at any position without concern that it can slip in
reverse. However, in some situations it can be detrimental if the system
requires reverse sensitivity, such as a servomechanism.
Self-locking does not occur in all worm meshes, since it requires special
conditions as outlined here. In this analysis, only the driving force acting
upon the tooth surfaces is considered without any regard to losses due to
bearing friction, lubricant agitation, etc. The governing conditions are as
follows:
Let Fu1 = tangential driving force of worm
Then, Fu1 = Fn (cosn sin cos)
where:

n = normal pressure angle

= lead angle of worm

= coefficient of friction

Fn = normal driving force of worm

44.000
7.765166
20.170236
9.424778

Let n in Equation (9-6) be 20, then the condition:


Fu1 0 will become:
(cos20 sin cos) 0
Figure 9-11 shows the critical limit of self-locking for lead angle and
coefficient of friction . Practically, it is very hard to assess the exact value
of coefficient of friction . Further, the bearing loss, lubricant agitation loss,
etc. can add many side effects. Therefore, it is not easy to establish precise
self-locking conditions. However, it is true that the smaller the lead angle ,
the more likely the self-locking condition will occur.

SECTION 10

TOOTH THICKNESS

There are direct and indirect methods for measuring tooth thickness.
In general, there are three methods:


Chordal Thickness Measurement


Span Measurement
Over Pin or Ball Measurement

The chordal thickness of helical gears should be measured on the


normal surface basis as shown in Table 10-3. Table 10-4 presents the
equations for chordal thickness of helical gears in the radial system.

10.1 Chordal Thickness Measurement


This method employs a tooth caliper that is referenced from the gear's
outside diameter. Thickness is measured at the pitch circle. See Figure
10-1.

10.1.3 Helical Gears

10.1.4 Bevel Gears

Table 10-5 shows the equations of chordal thickness for a Gleason


straight bevel gear.
Table 10-6 presents equations for chordal thickness of a standard
straight bevel gear.
If a standard straight bevel gear is cut by a Gleason straight bevel
cutter, the tooth angle should be adjusted according to:

180 s
tooth angle () = ( + hf tan)

R e 2

(10-1)

This angle is used as a reference in determining the circular tooth


thickness, s, in setting up the gear cutting machine.
Table 10-7 presents equations for chordal thickness of a Gleason spiral
bevel gear.
The calculations of circular thickness of a Gleason spiral bevel gear are
so complicated that we do not intend to go further in this presentation.

10.1.5 Worms And Worm Gears

Table 10-8 presents equations for chordal thickness of axial module


worms and worm gears.
Table 10-9 contains the equations for chordal thickness of normal

Formula

Span measurement of teeth, sm, is a measure over a number of teeth,


zm, made by means of a special tooth thickness micrometer. The value
measured is the sum of normal circular tooth thickness on the base circle,
sbn, and normal pitch, pen (zm 1).

10.2.1 Spur And Internal Gears

The applicable equations are presented in Table 10-10.


Figure 10-4 shows the span measurement of a spur gear. This
measurement is on the outside of the teeth.
For internal gears the tooth profile is opposite to that of the external
spur gear. Therefore, the measurement is between the inside of the tooth
profiles.

10.2.2 Helical Gears

Tables 10-11 and 10-12 present equations for span measurement of


the normal and the radial systems, respectively, of helical gears.

10.1.2 Spur Racks And Helical Racks

The procedure for measuring a rack with a pin or a ball is as shown in


Figure 10-9 by putting pin or ball in the tooth space and using a micrometer
between it and a reference surface. Internal gears are similarly measured,
except that the measurement is between the pins. See Figure 10-10.
Helical gears can only be measured with balls. In the case of a worm, three
pins are used, as shown in Figure 10-11. This is similar to the procedure
of measuring a screw thread. All these cases are discussed in detail in the
following sections.
Note that gear literature uses over pins and over wires terminology
interchangeably. The over wires term is often associated with very fine
pitch gears because the diameters are accordingly small.

There is a requirement of a
minimum blank width to make a helical
gear span measurement. Let bmin be
the minimum value for blank width. See
Figure 10-5. Then

As shown in Figures 10-6 and

diametrically opposite tooth spaces, for even tooth number gears; and as

In measuring a standard gear, the size of the pin must meet the
condition that its surface should have the tangent point at the standard pitch
circle. While, in measuring a shifted gear, the surface of the pin should have
the tangent point at the d + 2xm circle. The ideal diameters of pins when
calculated from the equations of Table 10-13 may not be practical. So, in
practice, we select a standard pin diameter close to the ideal value. After the
actual diameter of pin dp is determined, the over pin measurement dm can
be calculated from Table 10-14.
Table 10-15 is a dimensional table under the condition of module
m = 1 and pressure angle = 20 with which the pin has the tangent point at
d + 2xm circle.

an internal gear

19 lists ideal pin
diameters for
standard and profile shifted gears under the condition of module m = 1 and
pressure angle = 20, which makes the pin tangent to the pitch circle d +
2xm.

Table 10-20 presents equations for deriving over pin diameters.


Table 10-21 presents equations for calculating over pin measurements
for helical gears in the normal system.
Table 10-22 and Table 10-23 present equations for calculating
pin measurements for helical gears in the radial (perpendicular to axis)
system.

10.3.5 Three Wire Method Of Worm Measurement

dp
The teeth profile of Type III worms
which are most popular are cut by standard cutters with a
pressure angle c =
20. This results in the
d
dm
normal pressure angle
of the worm being a bit
smaller than 20. The
equation below shows
how to calculate a
Type III worm in an
AGMA system.

The exact equation for a three wire method of Type III worm is not
only difficult to comprehend, but also hard to calculate precisely. We will
introduce two approximate calculation methods here:
(a) Regard the tooth profile of the worm as a linear tooth profile
of a rack and apply its equations. Using this system, the
three wire method of a worm can be calculated by Table 1024.
These equations presume the worm lead angle to be very
small and can be neglected. Of course, as the lead angle
gets larger, the equations' error gets correspondingly larger.
If the lead angle is considered as a factor, the equations are
as in Table 10-25.

(b) Consider a worm to be a helical gear.


This means applying the equations for calculating over
pins measurement of helical gears to the case of three wire
method of a worm. Because the tooth profile of Type III worm
is not an involute curve, the method yields an approximation.
However, the accuracy is adequate in practice.
Tables 10-26 and 10-27 contain equations based on the axial system.
Tables 10-28 and 10-29 are based on the normal system.
Table 10-28 shows the calculation of a worm in the normal module
system. Basically, the normal module system and the axial module system
have the same form of equations. Only the notations of module make them
different.
10.4 Over Pins Measurements For Fine Pitch Gears With Specific
Numbers Of Teeth
Table 10-30 presents measurements for metric gears. These are
for standard ideal tooth thicknesses. Measurements can be adjusted
accordingly to backlash allowance and tolerance; i.e., tooth thinning.

10.3.4 Helical Gears

The ideal pin that makes contact at the d + 2x n m n pitch circle of a


helical gear can be obtained from the same above equations, but with the
teeth number z substituted by the equivalent (virtual) teeth number zv.

mt = 3.46410 da1 = 48.153
circumstances should the ratio drop below 1.1, calculated for all tolerances t = 22.79588 wt = 23.1126
da2 = 213.842
db1 = 38.322
db2 = 191.611 = 1.2939
at their worst case values.

A contact ratio between 1 and 2 means that part of the time two pairs
of teeth are in contact and during the remaining time one pair is in contact.
A ratio between 2 and 3 means 2 or 3 pairs of teeth are always in contact.
Such a high ratio is generally not obtained with external spur gears, but can
be developed in the meshing of internal gears, helical gears, or specially
designed nonstandard external spur gears.
When considering all types of gears, contact ratio is composed of two
components:

1. Radial contact ratio (plane of rotation perpendicular to
axes),

2. Overlap contact ratio (axial),

The sum is the total contact ratio, .
The overlap contact ratio component exists only in gear pairs that have
helical or spiral tooth forms.
11.1 Radial Contact Ratio Of Spur And Helical Gears,

and helical gears are

Note that in Table 11-1 only the radial or circular (plane of rotation)
contact ratio is considered. This is true of both the spur and helical gear
equations. However, for helical gears this is only one component of two.
For the helical gear's total contact ratio, , the overlap (axial) contact ratio,
, must be added. See Paragraph 11.4.
11.2 Contact Ratio Of Bevel Gears,
The contact ratio of a bevel gear pair can be derived from consideration
of the eqivalent spur gears, when viewed from the back cone. See Figure
8-8.
With this approach, the mesh can be treated as spur gears. Table 11-2
presents equations calculating the contact ratio.

11.3 Contact Ratio For Nonparallel And Nonintersecting Axes Pairs,


This group pertains to screw gearing and worm gearing. The equations
are approximations by considering the worm and worm gear mesh in the
plane perpendicular to worm gear axis and likening it to spur gear and rack
mesh. Table 11-3 presents these equations.
Example of worm mesh:

d1 = 44
ha1 = 3

db2 = 84.48050 = 1.8066

11.4 Axial (Overlap) Contact Ratio,

Helical gears and spiral bevel gears have an overlap of tooth action in
the axial direction. This overlap adds to the contact ratio. This is in contrast
to spur gears which have no tooth action in the axial direction. Thus, for
the same tooth proportions in the plane of rotation, helical and spiral bevel
gears offer a significant increase in contact ratio. The magnitude of axial
contact ratio is a direct function of the gear width, as illustrated in Figure
11-3. Equations for calculating axial contact ratio are presented in Table
11-4.
It is obvious that contact ratio can be increased by either increasing the
gear width or increasing the helix angle.

GEAR TOOTH MODIFICATIONS

Intentional deviations from the involute tooth profile are used to avoid
excessive tooth load deflection interference and thereby enhances load
capacity. Also, the elimination of tip interference reduces meshing noise.
Other modifications can accommodate assembly misalignment and thus
preserve load capacity.
12.1 Tooth Tip Relief
There are two types of tooth tip relief. One modifies the addendum,
and the other the dedendum. See Figure 12-1. Addendum relief is much
more popular than dedendum modification.

12.2 Crowning And Side Relieving

13.1 Single-Stage Gear Train

Crowning and side


relieving are tooth surface
modifications in the axial
direction. See Figure 122.
Crowning is the removal of a slight amount
of tooth from the center on
out to reach edge, making
the tooth surface slightly
convex. This method allows the gear to maintain
contact in the central region
of the tooth and permits
avoidance of edge contact
with consequent lower load
capacity. Crowning also allows a greater tolerance in
the misalignment of gears
in their assembly, maintaining central contact.
Relieving is a chamfering of the tooth surface. It
is similar to crowning except
that it is a simpler process
and only an approximation
to crowning. It is not as effective as crowning.

A meshed gear is the basic form of a single-stage gear train. It consists


of z1 and z2 numbers of teeth on the driver and driven gears, and their
respective rotations, n1 & n2. The speed ratio is then:

In topping, often referred to as top hobbing,


the top or outside diameter

of the gear is cut simultaneously with the generation of
the teeth. An advantage is
that there will be no burrs

on the tooth top. Also, the

2
outside diameter is highly
concentric with the pitch circle. This permits secondary
machining operations using
this diameter for nesting.
Recommended Magnitude
Semitopping is the Fig. 12-4
of Semitopping
chamfering of the tooth's
top corner, which is accomplished simultaneously with
tooth generation. Figure 12-3 shows a semitopping cutter and the resultant
generated semitopped gear. Such a tooth tends to prevent corner damage.
Also, it has no burr. The magnitude of semitopping should not go beyond
a proper limit as otherwise it would significantly shorten the addendum and
contact ratio. Figure 12-4 specifies a recommended magnitude of semitopping.
Both modifications require special generating tools. They are independent modifications but, if desired, can be applied simultaneously.

13.2 Two-Stage Gear Train


A two-stage gear train uses two single-stages in a series. Figure 13-2
represents the basic form of an external gear two-stage gear train.
Let the first gear in the first stage be the driver. Then the speed ratio

rotating carrier, and the hazard of jamming, etc. are inherent problems to be
solved.
Figure 13-4 is a so called 2K-H type planetary gear system. The sun
gear, internal gear, and the carrier have a common axis.

as an idler, which has no effect on the gear ratio. The speed ratio is then:

In order to determine the relationship among the numbers of teeth of
the sun gear A, za, the planet gears B, zb, and the internal gear C, zc, and

the following three conditions:

13.3 Planetary Gear System


The basic form of a planetary gear system is shown in Figure 13-4.
It consists of a sun gear A, planet gears B, internal gear C and carrier D.
The input and output axes of a planetary gear system are on a same line.
Usually, it uses two or more planet gears to balance the load evenly. It is
compact in space, but complex in structure. Planetary gear systems need
a high-quality manufacturing process. The load division between planet
gears, the interference of the internal gear, the balance and vibration of the

Satisfying this condition insures that

condition that must be met for standard
gear design with equal placement of
planet gears. For other conditions, the

system must satisfy the relationship:

Besides the above three basic conditions, there can be an interference


problem between the internal gear C and the planet gears B. See SECTION
5 that discusses more about this problem.
13.3.2 Speed Ratio Of Planetary Gear System

In a planetary gear system,


the speed ratio and the direction of
rotation would be changed according
to which member is fixed. Figures
13-6(a), 13-6(b) and 13-6(c) contain
three typical types of planetary gear
mechanisms, depending upon which
member is locked.

Referring to Figure 13-6(c), the planet gears are merely idlers. Input
and output axes have opposite rotations.
Example: za = 16, zb = 16, zc = 48;
then speed ratio = 1/3.

A planetary gear system which has four gears, as in Figure 13-5, is an


example of a constrained gear system. It is a closed loop system in which
the power is transmitted from the driving gear through other gears and
eventually to the driven gear. A closed loop gear system will not work if the
gears do not meet specific conditions.
Let z1, z2 and z3 be the numbers of gear teeth, as in Figure 13-7.
Meshing cannot function if the length of the heavy line (belt) does not divide
evenly by circular pitch. Equation (13-14) defines this condition.

BACKLASH

Up to this point the discussion has implied that there is no backlash. If


the gears are of standard tooth proportion design and operate on standard
center distance they would function ideally with neither backlash nor
jamming.
Backlash is provided for a variety of reasons and cannot be designated
without consideration of machining conditions. The general purpose of
backlash is to prevent gears from jamming by making contact on both
sides of their teeth simultaneously. A small amount of backlash is also
desirable to provide for lubricant space and differential expansion between
the gear components and the housing. Any error in machining which tends
to increase the possibility of jamming makes it necessary to increase the
amount of backlash by at least as much as the possible cumulative errors.
Consequently, the smaller the amount of backlash, the more accurate must
be the machining of the gears. Runout of both gears, errors in profile, pitch,
tooth thickness, helix angle and center distance all are factors to consider
in the specification of the amount of backlash. On the other hand, excessive
backlash is objectionable, particularly if the drive is frequently reversing or if
there is an overrunning load. The amount of backlash must not be excessive
for the requirements of the job, but it should be sufficient so that machining
costs are not higher than necessary.
In order to obtain the
amount of backlash desired,
it is necessary to decrease
tooth thickness. See Figure
14-1. This decrease must
j
almost always be greater
than the desired backlash
because of the errors in
manufacturing and assembling. Since the amount
R
of the decrease in tooth
thickness depends upon the
Figure 14-1
Backlash, j, Between
accuracy of machining, the

Two Gears
allowance for a specified
backlash will vary according
to the manufacturing conditions.
It is customary to make half of the allowance for backlash on the
tooth thickness of each gear of a pair, although there are exceptions. For
example, on pinions having very low numbers of teeth, it is desirable to
provide all of the allowance on the mating gear so as not to weaken the
pinion teeth.

T63

Carrier D

In spur and helical gearing, backlash allowance is usually obtained by


sinking the hob deeper into the blank than the theoretically standard depth.
Further, it is true that any increase or decrease in center distance of two
gears in any mesh will cause an increase or decrease in backlash. Thus,
this is an alternate way of designing backlash into the system.
In the following, we give the fundamental equations for the
determination of backlash in a single gear mesh. For the determination of
backlash in gear trains, it is necessary to sum the backlash of each mated
gear pair. However, to obtain the total backlash for a series of meshes, it
is necessary to take into account the gear ratio of each mesh relative to a
chosen reference shaft in the gear train. For details, see Reference 10 at
the end of the technical section.
14.1 Definition Of Backlash
Backlash is defined in Figure 14-2(a) as the excess thickness of tooth
space over the thickness of the mating tooth. There are two basic ways in
which backlash arises: tooth thickness is below the zero backlash value;
and the operating center distance is greater than the zero backlash value.

Geometrical Definition of
Angular Backlash

If the tooth thickness of either or both mating gears is less than the zero
backlash value, the amount of backlash introduced in the mesh is simply this
numerical difference:
j = sstd sact = s

(14-1)

where:
j

= linear backlash measured along the pitch circle (Figure 142(b))


sstd = no backlash tooth thickness on the operating pitch circle, which
is the standard tooth thickness for ideal gears
sact = actual tooth thickness

Geometrical Definition of Linear Backlash

When the center distance is increased by a relatively small amount, a, a


backlash space develops between mating teeth, as in Figure 14-3. The
relationship between center distance increase and linear backlash jn along
the line-of-action is:
jn = 2 a sin

(14-2)

Figure 14-3

Backlash Along
Line-of-Action

(14-3b)

(14-3c)

Although these are approximate relationships, they are adequate for


most uses. Their derivation, limitations, and correction factors are detailed
in Reference 10.
Note that backlash due to center distance opening is dependent upon
the tangent function of the pressure angle. Thus, 20 gears have 41% more
backlash than 14.5 gears, and this constitutes one of the few advantages
of the lower pressure angle.
Equations (14-3) are a useful relationship, particularly for converting
to angular backlash. Also, for fine pitch gears the use of feeler gages for
measurement is impractical, whereas an indicator at the pitch line gives a
direct measure. The two linear backlashes are related by:

jn
j =
(14-4)

cos

Obviously, angular backlash is inversely proportional to gear radius.


Also, since the two meshing gears are usually of different pitch diameters,
the linear backlash of the measure converts to different angular values for
each gear. Thus, an angular backlash must be specified with reference to
a particular shaft or gear center.
Details of backlash calculations and formulas for various gear types are
given in the following sections.

This measure along the line-of-action is useful when inserting a feeler

measured along the pitch circle is given by:

These express the relationship among several kinds of backlashes. In
application, one should consult the JIS standard.
There are two JIS standards for backlash one is JIS B 1703-76 for
spur gears and helical gears, and the other is JIS B 1705-73 for bevel gears.
All these standards regulate the standard backlashes in the direction of the
pitch circle jt or jtt. These standards can be applied directly, but the backlash
beyond the standards may also be used for special purposes. When writing
tooth thicknesses on a drawing, it is necessary to specify, in addition, the
tolerances on the thicknesses as well as the backlash. For example:
0.050
Circular tooth thickness 3.141 0.100

14.3 Tooth Thickness And Backlash


There are two ways to generate backlash. One is to enlarge the center
distance. The other is to reduce the tooth thickness. The latter is much
more popular than the former. We are going to discuss more about the way
of reducing the tooth thickness. In SECTION 10, we have discussed the
standard tooth thickness s. In the meshing of a pair of gears, if the tooth
thickness of pinion and gear were reduced by s 1 and s 2 , they would
generate a backlash of s 1 + s 2 in the direction of the pitch circle.
Let the magnitude of s 1 , s 2 be 0.1. We know that = 20, then:

Overall Accumulated Backlash of


Two Stage Gear Train

This accumulated backlash can be converted into rotation in degrees:



360
j = j tT4 (degrees)
(14-21)

The reverse case is to fix number four gear and to examine the
accumulated backlash on number one gear j tT1 .

This accumulated backlash can be converted into rotation in degrees:

We can convert it into the backlash on normal direction:
jn = jt cos = 0.2cos20 = 0.1879

14.5 Methods Of Controlling Backlash


In order to meet special needs, precision gears are used more
frequently than ever before. Reducing backlash becomes an important
issue. There are two methods of reducing or eliminating backlash one a
static, and the other a dynamic method.
The static method concerns means of assembling gears and then
making proper adjustments to achieve the desired low backlash. The
dynamic method introduces an external force which continually eliminates
all backlash regardless of rotational position.

the gear's effective
tooth thickness or the

IV

Case I
By design, center distance and tooth thickness are such that they
yield the proper amount of desired minimum backlash. Center distance
and tooth thickness size are fixed at correct values and require precision
manufacturing.
Case II
With gears mounted on fixed centers, adjustment is made to the
effective tooth thickness by axial movement or other means. Three main
methods are:

1. Two identical gears are mounted so that one can be rotated relative
to the other and fixed. See Figure 14-10a. In this way, the
effective tooth thickness can be adjusted to yield the desired low
backlash.
2. A gear with a helix angle such as a helical gear is made in two half
thicknesses. One is shifted axially such that each makes contact
with the mating gear on the opposite sides of the tooth. See Figure
14-10b.
3. The backlash of cone shaped gears, such as bevel and tapered
tooth spur gears, can be adjusted with axial positioning. A duplex
lead worm can be adjusted similarly. See Figure 14-10c.

Case III
Center distance adjustment of backlash can be accomplished in two
ways:

1. Linear Movement
Figure 14-11a shows
adjustment along the
line-of-centers in a
straight or parallel
axes manner. After
setting to the desired
value of backlash, the
(a) Parallel Movement
centers are locked in
place.

2. Rotary Movement

an alternate way of

tioning arm is locked.
Backlash in Case III
Case IV
Adjustment of both center distance and tooth thickness is theoretically
valid, but is not the usual practice. This would call for needless fabrication
expense.

14.5.2 Dynamic Methods

Dynamic methods relate to the static techniques. However, they


involve a forced adjustment of either the effective tooth thickness or the
center distance.
1. Backlash Removal by Forced Tooth Contact
This is derived from static Case II. Referring to Figure 14-10a , a
forcing spring rotates the two gear halves apart. This results in an effective
tooth thickness that continually fills the entire tooth space in all mesh
positions.
2. Backlash Removal by Forced Center Distance Closing
This is derived from static Case III. A spring force is applied to close
the center distance; in one case as a linear force along the line-of-centers,
and in the other case as a torque applied to the swing arm.
In all of these dynamic methods, the applied external force should be
known and properly specified. The theoretical relationship of the forces
involved is as follows:
F > F1 + F2

(14-24)

where:
F1 = Transmission Load on Tooth Surface
F2 = Friction Force on Tooth Surface
(a) Rotary Adjustment

(b) Parallel Adjustment

(c) Axial Adjustment

If F < F1 + F2, then it would be impossible to remove backlash. But if


F is excessively greater than a proper level, the tooth surfaces would be
needlessly loaded and could lead to premature wear and shortened life.
Thus, in designing such gears, consideration must be given to not only the
needed transmission load, but also the forces acting upon the tooth surfaces
caused by the spring load. It is important to appreciate that the spring
loading must be set to accommodate the largest expected transmission
force, F1, and this maximum spring force is applied to the tooth surfaces
continually and irrespective of the load being driven.
3. Duplex Lead Worm
A duplex lead worm mesh is a special design in which backlash can be
adjusted by shifting the worm axially. It is useful for worm drives in high

accuracy grouped from 0 through 8 and four types of pitch errors:
Single pitch error.

Accumulated pitch error.
Normal pitch error.
Single pitch error, pitch variation and accumulated pitch errors are closely
related with each other.

Gears are one of the basic elements used to transmit power and
position. As designers, we desire them to meet various demands:
1. Minimum size.
2. Maximum power capability.
3. Minimum noise (silent operation).
4. Accurate rotation/position.
To meet various levels of these demands requires appropriate degrees
of gear accuracy. This involves several gear features.

The lead or pitch, pL and pR , on the two sides of the worm thread are not
identical. The example in Figure 14-12 shows the case when pR > pL. To
produce such a worm requires a special dual lead hob.
The intent of Figure 14-12 is to indicate that the worm tooth thickness
is progressively bigger towards the right end. Thus, it is convenient to adjust
backlash by simply moving the duplex worm in the axial direction.

The major element to influence the pitch errors is the runout of gear
flank groove.

Examples of Pitch Errors for a 15 Tooth Gear

15.1.2 Tooth Profile Error, ff

Tooth profile error is the summation of deviation between actual tooth


profile and correct involute curve which passes through the pitch point
measured perpendicular to the actual profile. The measured band is the
actual effective working surface of the gear. However, the tooth modification
area is not considered as part of profile error.

15.1.3 Runout Error Of Gear Teeth, Fr

This error defines the runout of the pitch circle. It is the error in radial
position of the teeth. Most often it is measured by indicating the position
of a pin or ball inserted in each tooth space around the gear and taking the
largest difference. Alternately, particularly for fine pitch gears, the gear is
rolled with a master gear on a variable center distance fixture, which records
the change in the center distance as the measure of teeth or pitch circle
runout. Runout causes a number of problems, one of which is noise. The
source of this error is most often insufficient accuracy and ruggedness of
the cutting arbor and tooling system.

15.1.4 Lead Error, f

Lead error is the deviation of the actual advance of the tooth profile
from the ideal value or position. Lead error results in poor tooth contact,
particularly concentrating contact to the tip area. Modifications, such as
tooth crowning and relieving can alleviate this error to some degree.

15.2 Accuracy Of Bevel Gears


JIS B 1704 regulates the specification of a bevel gear's accuracy. It
also groups bevel gears into 9 grades, from 0 to 8.
There are 4 types of allowable errors:
1. Single Pitch Error.
2. Pitch Variation Error.
3. Accumulated Pitch Error.
4. Runout Error of Teeth (pitch circle).
These are similar to the spur gear errors.
1. Single Pitch Error, f pt
The deviation between actual measured pitch value between
any adjacent teeth and the theoretical circular pitch at the central
cone distance.
2. Pitch Variation Error, f pu
Absolute pitch variation between any two adjacent teeth at the
central cone distance.
3. Accumulated Pitch Error, Fp
Difference between theoretical pitch sum of any teeth interval,
and the summation of actual measured pitches for the same teeth
interval at the central cone distance.
4. Runout Error of Teeth, Fr
This is the maximum amount of tooth runout in the radial direction,
measured by indicating a pin or ball placed between two teeth at
the central cone distance. It is the pitch cone runout.
Table 15-5 presents equations for allowable values of these various
errors.

Besides the above errors, there are seven specifications for bevel gear
blank dimensions and angles, plus an eighth that concerns the cut gear
set:

1. The tolerance of the blank outside diameter and the crown
to back surface distance.

2. The tolerance of the outer cone angle of the gear blank.

3. The tolerance of the cone surface runout of the gear blank.

4. The tolerance of the side surface runout of the gear blank.

5. The feeler gauge size to check the flatness of blank back
surface.

6. The tolerance of the shaft runout of the gear blank.

7. The tolerance of the shaft bore dimension deviation of the
gear blank.

8. The contact band of the tooth mesh.
Item 8 relates to cutting of the two mating gears' teeth. The meshing
tooth contact area must be full and even across the profiles. This is an
important criterion that supersedes all other blank requirements.
15.3 Running (Dynamic) Gear Testing
An alternate simple means of testing the general accuracy of a gear
is to rotate it with a mate, preferably of known high quality, and measure
characteristics during rotation. This kind of tester can be either single
contact (fixed center distance method) or dual (variable center distance
method). This refers to action on one side or simultaneously on both sides
of the tooth. This is also commonly referred to as single and double flank
testing. Because of simplicity, dual contact testing is more popular than
single contact. JGMA has a specification on accuracy of running tests.
1. Dual Contact (Double Flank) Testing
In this technique, the gear is forced meshed with a master gear such
that there is intimate tooth contact on both sides and, therefore, no backlash.
The contact is forced by a loading spring. As the gears rotate, there is
variation of center distance due to various errors, most notably runout.
This variation is measured and is a criterion of gear quality. A full rotation

Example of Dual Contact Running Testing Report

presents the total gear error, while rotation through one pitch is a tooth-totooth error. Figure 15-3 presents a typical plot for such a test.
For American engineers, this measurement test is identical to what
AGMA designates as Total Composite Tolerance (or error) and Tooth-toTooth Composite Tolerance. Both of these parameters are also referred
to in American publications as "errors", which they truly are. Tolerance is a
design value which is an inaccurate description of the parameter, since it is
an error.
Allowable errors per JGMA 116-01 are presented on the next page, in
Table 15-7.
2. Single Contact Testing
In this test, the gear is mated with a master gear on a fixed center
distance and set in such a way that only one tooth side makes contact.
The gears are rotated through this single flank contact action, and the
angular transmission error of the driven gear is measured. This is a tedious
testing method and is seldom used except for inspection of the very highest
precision gears.

In designing a gear, it is important to analyze the magnitude and


direction of the forces acting upon the gear teeth, shaft, bearings, etc. In
analyzing these forces, an idealized assumption is made that the tooth
forces are acting upon the central part of the tooth flank.

16.4 Forces In A Spiral Bevel Gear Mesh


Spiral gear teeth have convex and concave sides. Depending on which
surface the force is acting on, the direction and magnitude changes. They
differ depending upon which is the driver and which is the driven. Figure
16-7 presents the profile orientations of right- and left-hand spiral teeth. If
the profile of the driving gear is convex, then the profile of the driven gear
must be concave. Table 16-3 presents the concave/convex relationships.

On the axial surface, Ft and Fs can be resolved into axial and radial
subcomponents.

Let a pair of spiral bevel gears have a shaft angle =90, a pressure
angle n = 20, and a spiral angle m = 35. If the tangential force, Fu, to the
central portion of the tooth face is 100, the axial thrust force, Fa, and radial
force, Fr, have the relationship shown in Table 16-4.
The value of axial force, Fa, of a spiral bevel gear, from Table 16-4,
could become negative. At that point, there are forces tending to push the
two gears together. If there is any axial play in the bearing, it may lead to
the undesirable condition of the mesh having no backlash. Therefore, it
is important to pay particular attention to axial plays. From Table 16-4(2),
we understand that axial thrust force, Fa, changes from positive to negative
in the range of teeth ratio from 1.5 to 2.0 when a gear carries force on the
convex side. The precise turning point of axial thrust force, Fa, is at the teeth
ratio z1/z2=1.57357.

standard tooth profile with 20 pressure angle, per JIS B 1701. The
theoretical limit of undercut is shown. Also, for profile shifted gears the limit
of too narrow (sharp) a tooth top land is given. For internal gears, obtain the

17.1.10 Allowable Bending Stress At Root, F lim

For the unidirectionally loaded gear, the allowable bending stresses at


the root are shown in Tables 17-5 to 17-8. In these tables, the value of F lim
is the quotient of the tensile fatigue limit divided by the stress concentration
factor 1.4. If the load is bidirectional, and both sides of the tooth are equally
loaded, the value of allowable bending stress should be taken as 2/3 of the
given value in the table. The core hardness means hardness at the center
region of the root.

Safety factor, SF, is too complicated to be decided precisely. Usually,


it is set to at least 1.2.

Generally, this factor is unity.

Overload factor, KO, is the quotient of actual tangential force divided


by nominal tangential force, Ft . If tangential force is unknown, Table 17-4
provides guiding values.

We can choose the proper life factor, KL, from Table 17-2. The number
of cyclic repetitions means the total loaded meshings during its lifetime.

The narrower face width of the meshed gear pair is assumed to
be the effective width for surface strength. However, if there are tooth
modifications, such as chamfer, tip relief or crowning, an appropriate amount
should be subtracted to obtain the effective tooth width.

The lubricant factor is based upon the lubricant's kinematic viscosity at


50C. See Figure 17-3.

Z = 1.0

Lubricant Factor

This is a difficult parameter to evaluate. Therefore, it is assumed to be


1.0 unless better information is available.

17.2.6 Life Factor, KHL

This factor reflects the number of repetitious stress cycles. Generally, it


is taken as 1.0. Also, when the number of cycles is unknown, it is assumed
to be 1.0.
When the number of stress cycles is below 10 million, the values of
Table 17-10 can be applied.

2. Although an idler has two meshing
points in one cycle, it is still
regarded as one repetition.

3. For bidirectional gear drives, the
larger loaded direction is taken as
the number of cyclic loads.

17.2.8 Surface Roughness Factor, ZR


This factor is obtained from Figure 17-4 on the basis of the average
roughness Rmaxm (m). The average roughness is calculated by Equation
(17-19) using the surface roughness values of the pinion and gear, Rmax1 and
Rmax2, and the center distance, a, in mm.

(a) When tooth contact under load is not predictable: This case
relates the ratio of the gear face width to the pitch diameter, the shaft
bearing mounting positions, and the shaft sturdiness. See Table 17-11.
This attempts to take into account the case where the tooth contact under
load is not good or known.

In calculating strength, tangential force at the pitch circle, Ftm, in kgf;


power, P , in kW, and torque, T , in kgfm, are the design criteria. Their basic
relationships are expressed in Equations (17-23) through (17-25).

The tangential force, Ftm, acting at the central pitch circle should be less
than or equal to the allowable tangential force, Ftm lim, which is based upon
the allowable bending stress F lim. That is:
Ftm Ftm lim

(17-26)

The bending stress at the root, F , which is derived from Ftm should be
less than or equal to the allowable bending stress F lim.

17.3.3.B Tooth Profile Factor, YF

The tooth profile factor is a function of profile shift, in both the radial and
axial directions. Using the equivalent (virtual) spur gear tooth number, the
first step is to de1.6

tooth profile factor,
Y FO, from Figure

bevel gears and

Should the bevel gear pair not have any axial shift, then the coefficient
C is 1, as per Figure 17-7. The tooth profile factor, YF, per Equation (17-31)
is simply the YFO. This value is from Figure 17-8 or 17-9, depending upon
whether it is a straight or spiral bevel gear pair. The graph entry parameter
values are per Equation (17-32).

The friction factor varies as sliding speed changes. The combination


of materials is important. For the case of a worm that is carburized and
ground, and mated with a phosphorous bronze worm gear, see Figure 1712. For some other materials, see Table 17-27.
For lack of data, friction coefficient of materials not listed in Table 17-27
are very difficult to obtain. H.E. Merritt has offered some further information
on this topic. See Reference 9.

Provided dimensions and materials of the worm pair are known, the
allowable load is as follows:
Ft lim = Allowable tangential force (kgf)

Z LZ MZ R

(17-53)

and equivalent worm gear torque, T2e, in kgfm:


T 2e = T 2 K h K s

(17-54)

(3) Determination of Load


Under no impact condition, to have life expectancy of 26000 hours, the
following relationships must be satisfied:
Ft Ft lim or T2 T2 lim

(17-55)

For all other conditions:

(17-52)

(2) Calculation of Equivalent Load


The basic load Equations (17-51) and (17-52) are applicable under the
conditions of no impact and the pair can operate for 26000 hours minimum.
The condition of "no impact" is defined as the starting torque which must be
less than 200% of the rated torque; and the frequency of starting should be
less than twice per hour.
An equivalent load is needed to compare with the basic load in order
to determine an actual design load, when the conditions deviate from the
above.
Equivalent load is then converted to an equivalent tangential force, Fte,
in kgf:
F te = F t K h K s

Let ZL = 1.0 if the lubricant is of proper viscosity and has antiscoring
additives.

17.5.5.F Lubrication Factor, ZM


The lubrication factor, ZM, is obtained from Table 17-30.

Table 17-31 gives the general values of Kc depending on the JIS tooth
contact class.

17.5.5.G Surface Roughness Factor, ZR


This factor is concerned with resistance to pitting of the working
surfaces of the teeth. Since there is insufficient knowledge about this
phenomenon, the factor is assumed to be 1.0.

17.5.5.I Starting Factor, Ks


This factor depends upon the magnitude of starting torque and the
frequency of starts. When starting torque is less than 200% of rated torque,
Ks factor is per Table 17-32.

ZR = 1.0

17.5.5.J Time Factor, Kh


This factor is a function of the desired life and the impact environment.
See Table 17-33. The expected lives in between the numbers shown in
Table 17-33 can be interpolated.

(17-58)

It should be noted that for Equation (17-58) to be applicable, surfaces


roughness of the worm and worm gear must be less than 3 m and 12 m
respectively. If either is rougher, the factor is to be adjusted to a smaller
value.

17.5.5.K Allowable Stress Factor, Sc lim


Table 17-34 presents the allowable stress factors for various material
combinations. Note that the table also specifies governing limits of sliding
speed, which must be adhered to if scoring is to be avoided.

17.5.5.H Contact Factor, Kc


Quality of tooth contact will affect load capacity dramatically. Generally,
it is difficult to define precisely, but JIS B 1741 offers guidelines depending
on the class of tooth contact.

SECTION 18

DESIGN OF PLASTIC GEARS

18.1 General Considerations Of Plastic Gearing


Plastic gears are continuing to displace metal gears in a widening arena
of applications. Their unique characteristics are also being enhanced with
new developments, both in materials and processing. In this regard, plastics
contrast somewhat dramatically with metals, in that the latter materials and
processes are essentially fully developed and, therefore, are in a relatively
static state of development.
Plastic gears can be produced by hobbing or shaping, similarly to
metal gears or alternatively by molding. The molding process lends itself
to considerably more economical means of production; therefore, a more
in-depth treatment of this process will be presented in this section.
Among the characteristics responsible for the large increase in plastic
gear usage, the following are probably the most significant:

1. Cost effectiveness of the injection-molding process.

2. Elimination of machining operations; capability of fabrication with
inserts and integral designs.

3. Low density: lightweight, low inertia.

4. Uniformity of parts.

5. Capability to absorb shock and vibration as a result of elastic
compliance.

6. Ability to operate with minimum or no lubrication, due to inherent
lubricity.

7. Relatively low coefficient of friction.

8. Corrosion-resistance; elimination of plating, or protective
coatings.

9. Quietness of operation.
10. Tolerances often less critical than for metal gears, due in part to
their greater resilience.
11. Consistency with trend to greater use of plastic housings and other
components.
12. One step production; no preliminary or secondary operations.

At the same time, the design engineer should be familiar with
the limitations of plastic gears relative to metal gears. The most
significant of these are the following:

Material

1. Less load-carrying capacity, due to lower maximum allowable


stress; the greater compliance of plastic gears may also produce
stress concentrations.
2. Plastic gears cannot generally be molded to the same accuracy as
high-precision machined metal gears.
3. Plastic gears are subject to greater dimensional instabilities,
due to their larger coefficient of thermal expansion and moisture
absorption.
4. Reduced ability to operate at elevated temperatures; as an
approximate figure, operation is limited to less than 120C. Also,
limited cold temperature operations.
5. Initial high mold cost in developing correct tooth form and
dimensions.
6. Can be negatively affected by certain chemicals and even some
lubricants.
7. Improper molding tools and process can produce residual internal
stresses at the tooth roots, resulting in over stressing and/or
distortion with aging.
8. Costs of plastics track petrochemical pricing, and thus are more
volatile and subject to increases in comparison to metals.

18.2 Properties Of Plastic Gear Materials


Popular materials for plastic gears are acetal resins such as DELRIN*,
Duracon M90; nylon resins such as ZYTEL*, NYLATRON**, MC901 and
acetal copolymers such as CELCON***. The physical and mechanical
properties of these materials vary with regard to strength, rigidity,
dimensional stability, lubrication requirements, moisture absorption, etc.
Standardized tabular data is available from various manufacturers' catalogs.
Manufacturers in the U.S.A. provide this information in units customarily
used in the U.S.A. In general, the data is less simplified and fixed than
for the metals. This is because plastics are subject to wider formulation
variations and are often regarded as proprietary compounds and mixtures.
Tables 18-1 through 18-9 are representative listings of physical and
mechanical properties of gear plastics taken from a variety of sources. All
reprinted tables are in their original units of measure.

Many of the properties of thermoplastics are dependent upon processing conditions, and the test results presented
are typical values only. These test results were obtained under standardized test conditions, and with the exception of
specific gravity, should not be used as a basis for engineering design. Values were obtained from specimens injection
molded in unpigmented material. In common with other thermoplastics, incorporation into Celcon of color pigments or
additional U.V. stabilizers may affect some test results. Celcon GC25A test results are obtained from material predried
for 3 hours at 240 F (116 C) before molding. All values generated at 50% r.h. & 73 F (23 C) unless indicated otherwise. Reprinted with the permission of Celanese Plastics and Specialties Co.; see Reference 3.

For this reason, Table 18-10 is presented.


Other properties and features that enter into consideration for gearing
are given in Table 18-11 (Wear) and Table 18-12 (Poisson's Ratio).

It is common practice to use plastics in combination with different


metals and materials other than plastics. Such is the case when gears
have metal hubs, inserts, rims, spokes, etc. In these cases, one must
be cognizant of the fact that plastics have an order of magnitude different
coefficients of thermal expansion as well as density and modulus of elasticity.

Moisture has a significant impact on plastic properties as can be seen


in Tables 18-1 thru 18-5. Ranking of plastics is given in Table 18-13. In
this table, rate refers to expansion from dry to full moist condition. Thus, a
0.20% rating means a dimensional increase of 0.002 mm/mm. Note that this
is only a rough guide, as exact values depend upon factors of composition
and processing, both the raw material and gear molding. For example, it can
be seen that the various types and grades of nylon can range from 0.07% to
2.0%.

resins. In general, it has a better antiorganic solvent property, but has a
weaker antiacid property. The properties are as follows:

- For many nonorganic acids, even at low concentration at normal
temperature, itshould not be used without further tests.

- For nonorganic alkali at room temperature, it can be used to a certain
level of concentration.

- For the solutions of nonorganic salts, we may apply them to a fairly
high level of temperature and concentration.

- MC901 has better antiacid ability and stability in organic acids than
in nonorganic acids, except for formic acid.

- MC901 is stable at room temperature in organic compounds of ester
series and ketone series.

- It is also stable in mineral oil, vegetable oil and animal oil, at room
temperature.

Duracon M90

This plastic has outstanding antiorganic properties. However, it has
the disadvantage of having limited suitable adhesives. Its main properties
are:

- Good resistance against nonorganic chemicals, but will be corroded
by strong acids such as nitric, sulfuric and chloric acids.

- Household chemicals, such as synthetic detergents, have almost no
effect on M90.

- M90 does not deteriorate even under long term operation in high
temperature lubricating oil, except for some additives in high grade
lubricants.

- With grease, M90 behaves the same as with oil lubricants.
Gear designers interested in using this material should be aware of
properties regarding individual chemicals. Plastic manufacturers' technical
information manuals should be consulted prior to making gear design
decisions.

Pressure angles of 14.5, 20 and 25 are used in plastic gears. The


20 pressure angle is usually preferred due to its stronger tooth shape and
reduced undercutting compared to the 14.5 pressure angle system. The
25 pressure angle has the highest load-carrying ability, but is more sensitive
to center distance variation and hence runs less quietly. The choice is
dependent on the application.
The determination of the appropriate module or diametral pitch is
a compromise between a number of different design requirements. A
larger module is associated with larger and stronger teeth. For a given
pitch diameter, however, this also means a smaller number of teeth with a
correspondingly greater likelihood of undercut at very low number of teeth.
Larger teeth are generally associated with more sliding than smaller teeth.
On the other side of the coin, smaller modules, which are associated
with smaller teeth, tend to provide greater load sharing due to the
compliance of plastic gears. However, a limiting condition would eventually
be reached when mechanical interference occurs as a result of too much
compliance. Smaller teeth are also more sensitive to tooth errors and may
be more highly stressed.
A good procedure is probably to size the pinion first, since it is the more
highly loaded member. It should be proportioned to support the required
loads, but should not be over designed.

18.4 Strength Of Plastic Spur Gears


In the following text, main consideration will be given to Nylon MC901
and Duracon M90. However, the basic equations used are applicable to all
other plastic materials if the appropriate values for the factors are applied.

18.4.1 Bending Strength of Spur Gears

Nylon MC901
The allowable tangential force F (kgf) at the pitch circle of a Nylon
MC901 spur gear can be obtained from the Lewis formula.
F = mybbKV (kgf)

(18-1)

where:
m = Module (mm)
y = Form factor at pitch point (see Table 18-15)
b = Teeth width (mm)
b = Allowable bending stress (kgf/mm2) (see Figure 18-1)
KV = Speed factor (see Table 18-16)

Duracon M90
The allowable tangential force F (kgf) at pitch circle of a Duracon M90
spur gear can also be obtained from the Lewis formula.
F = mybb (kgf)
where:
m = Module (mm)
y = Form factor at pitch point (see Table 18-15)
b = Teeth width (mm)
b = Allowable bending stress (kgf/mm2)
The allowable bending stress can be calculated by Equation (18-3):

Duracon M90
Duracon gears have less friction and wear when in an oil lubrication
condition. However, the calculation of strength must take into consideration
a no-lubrication condition. The surface strength using Hertz contact stress,
Sc, is calculated by Equation (18-4).

If the value of Hertz contact stress, Sc, is calculated by Equation


(18-4) and the value falls below the curve of Figure 18-6, then it is directly
applicable as a safe design. If the calculated value falls above the curve,
the Duracon gear is unsafe.

12 m/s, and operating at room temperature. For working conditions that are

Application Notes
In designing plastic gears, the effects of heat and moisture must be
given careful consideration. The related problems are:
1. Backlash
Plastic gears have larger coefficients of thermal expansion. Also,
they have an affinity to absorb moisture and swell. Good design requires
allowance for a greater amount of backlash than for metal gears.
2. Lubrication
Most plastic gears do not require lubrication. However, temperature
rise due to meshing may be controlled by the cooling effect of a lubricant as
well as by reduction of friction. Often, in the case of high-speed rotational
speeds, lubrication is critical.
3. Plastic gear with metal mate
If one of the gears of a mated pair is metal, there will be a heat sink
that combats a high temperature rise. The effectiveness depends upon the
particular metal, amount of metal mass, and rotational speed.

and y = Form factor at pitch point, which is obtained from Table 18-15
by computing the number of teeth of equivalent spur gear via

Other variables are obtained by using the equations for Duracon spur
gears.
18.4.4 Bending Strength Of Plastic Worm Gears

Nylon MC901
Generally, the worm is much stronger than the worm gear. Therefore,
it is necessary to calculate the strength of only the worm gear.
The allowable tangential force F (kgf) at the pitch circle of the worm
gear is obtained from Equation (18-8).
F = m n yb b KV (kgf)

(18-8)

where:

mn = Normal module (mm)

18-15 by first computing the number of teeth of equivalent
spur gear using Equation (18-9).

z =

Worm meshes have relatively high sliding velocities, which induces
a high temperature rise. This causes a sharp decrease in strength and
abnormal friction wear. This is particularly true of an all plastic mesh.

Lubrication of plastic worms is vital, particularly under high load and


continuous operation.

18.4.5 Strength Of Plastic Keyway

Fastening of a plastic gear to the shaft is often done by means of a key


and keyway. Then, the critical thing is the stress level imposed upon the
keyway sides. This is calculated by Equation (18-10).

Therefore, sliding speeds must be contained within recommendations of


Table 18-20.

where:



= Pressure on the keyway sides (kgf/cm2)


T = Transmitted torque (kgfm)
d = Diameter of shaft (cm)
l = Effective length of keyway (cm)
h = Depth of keyway (cm)

The maximum allowable surface pressure for MC901 is 200 kgf/cm2,


and this must not be exceeded. Also, the keyway's corner must have a
suitable radius to avoid stress concentration. The distance from the root of
the gear to the bottom of the keyway should be at least twice the tooth whole
depth, h.
Keyways are not to be used when the following conditions exist:
- Excessive keyway stress
- High ambient temperature
- High impact
- Large outside diameter gears
When above conditions prevail, it is expedient to use a metallic hub in
the gear. Then, a keyway may be cut in the metal hub.
A metallic hub can be fixed in the plastic gear by several methods:
- Press the metallic hub into the plastic gear, ensuring fastening with
a knurl or screw.
- Screw fasten metal discs on each side of the plastic gear.
- Thermofuse the metal hub to the gear.
18.5 Effect Of Part Shrinkage On Plastic Gear Design
The nature of the part and the molding operation have a significant
effect on the molded gear. From the design point of view, the most important
effect is the shrinkage of the gear relative to the size of the mold cavity.
Gear shrinkage depends upon mold proportions, gear geometry,
material, ambient temperature and time. Shrinkage is usually expressed in
millimeters per millimeter. For example, if a plastic gear with a shrinkage
rate of 0.022 mm/mm has a pitch diameter of 50 mm while in the mold, the
pitch diameter after molding will be reduced by (50)(0.022) or 1.1 mm, and
becomes 48.9 mm after it leaves the mold.

Depending upon the material and the molding process, shrinkage


rates ranging from about 0.001 mm/mm to 0.030 mm/mm occur in plastic
gears (see Table 18-1 and Figure 18-7). Sometimes shrinkage rates are
expressed as a percentage. For example, a shrinkage rate of 0.0025 mm/
mm can be stated as a 0.25% shrinkage rate.

Shrinkage for Delrin in Air

From the above, it becomes obvious that with the same mold by
changing molding parameters parts of different sizes can be produced.
The form of the gear tooth itself changes as a result of shrinkage,
irrespective of it shrinking away from the mold, as shown in Figure 18-8.
The resulting gear will be too thin at the top and too thick at the base. The
pressure angle will have increased, resulting in the possibility of binding, as
well as greater wear.
In order to obtain an idea of the effect of part shrinkage subsequent
to molding, the following equations are presented where the primes refer to

The pitch diameter of the electrode, therefore, will be:


d = zm = 64 x 1.0225 = 65.44 mm
For the sake of simplicity, we are ignoring the correction which has to
be made to compensate for the electrode gap which results in the cavity
being larger than the electrode.
The shrinking process can give rise to residual stresses within the
gear, especially if it has sections of different thicknesses. For this reason, a
hubless gear is less likely to be warped than a gear with a hub.
If necessary, a gear can be annealed after molding in order to relieve
residual stresses. However, since this adds another operation in the
manufacturing of the gear, annealing should be considered only under the
following circumstances:
1. If maximum dimensional stability is essential.
2. If the stresses in the gear would otherwise exceed the design
limit.
3. If close tolerances and high-temperature operation makes annealing
necessary.
Annealing adds a small amount of lubricant within the gear surface
region. If the prior gear lubrication is marginal, this can be helpful.
18.6 Proper Use Of Plastic Gears

18.6.1 Backlash

Due to the thermal expansion of plastic gears, which is significantly


greater than that of metal gears, and the effects of tolerances, one should
make sure that meshing gears do not bind in the course of service. Several
means are available for introducing backlash into the system. Perhaps the
simplest is to enlarge center distance. Care must be taken, however, to
ensure that the contact ratio remains adequate.
It is possible also to thin out the tooth profile during manufacturing, but
this adds to the manufacturing cost and requires careful consideration of the
tooth geometry.
To some extent, the flexibility of the bearings and clearances can
compensate for thermal expansion. If a small change in center distance is
necessary and feasible, it probably represents the best and least expensive
compromise.

The effect of shrinkage must be anticipated in the design of the mold


and requires expert knowledge. Accurate and specific treatment of this
phenomenon is a result of years of experience in building molds for gears;
hence, details go beyond the scope of this presentation.
In general, the final size of a molded gear is a result of the following
factors:
1. Plastic material being molded.
2. Injection pressure.
3. Injection temperature.
4. Injection hold time.
5. Mold cure time and mold temperature.
6. Configuration of part (presence of web, insert, spokes, ribs, etc.).
7. Location, number and size of gates.
8. Treatment of part after molding.

It follows that a hob generating the electrode for a cavity which will

18.6.2 Environment and Tolerances

In any discussion of tolerances for plastic gears, it is necessary to


distinguish between manufacturing tolerances and dimensional changes
due to environmental conditions.
As far as manufacturing is concerned, plastic gears can be made to
high accuracy, if desired. For injection molded gears, Total Composite
Error can readily be held within a range of roughly 0.075 0.125 mm, with a
corresponding Tooth-to-Tooth Composite Error of about 0.025 0.050 mm.
Higher accuracies can be obtained if the more expensive filled materials,
mold design, tooling and quality control are used.
In addition to thermal expansion changes, there are permanent
dimensional changes as the result of moisture absorption. Also, there
are dimensional changes due to compliance under load. The coefficient
of thermal expansion of plastics is on the order of four to ten times those
of metals (see Tables 18-3 and 18-10). In addition, most plastics are
hygroscopic (i.e., absorb moisture) and dimensional changes on the order of
0.1% or more can develop in the course of time, if the humidity is sufficient.
As a result, one should attempt to make sure that a tolerance which is
specified is not smaller than the inevitable dimensional changes which
arise as a result of environmental conditions. At the same time, the greater
compliance of plastic gears, as compared to metal gears, suggests that the
necessity for close tolerances need not always be as high as those required
for metal gears.

18.6.3 Avoiding Stress Concentration

In order to minimize stress concentration and maximize the life of a


plastic gear, the root fillet radius should be as large as possible, consistent
with conjugate gear action. Sudden changes in cross section and sharp
corners should be avoided, especially in view of the possibility of additional
residual stresses which may have occurred in the course of the molding
operation.

18.6.4 Metal Inserts

Injection molded metal inserts are used in plastic gears for a variety of
reasons:

1. To avoid an extra finishing operation.

2. To achieve greater dimensional stability, because the metal will
shrink less and is not sensitive to moisture; it is, also, a better heat
sink.

3. To provide greater load-carrying capacity.

4. To provide increased rigidity.

5. To permit repeated assembly and disassembly.

6. To provide a more precise bore to shaft fit.
Inserts can be molded into the part or subsequently assembled. In
the case of subsequent insertion of inserts, stress concentrations may be
present which may lead to cracking of the parts. The interference limits for
press fits must be obeyed depending on the material used; also, proper

minimum wall thicknesses around the inserts must be left. The insertion of
inserts may be accomplished by ultrasonically driving in the insert. In this
case, the material actually melts into the knurling at the insert periphery.
Inserts are usually produced by screw machines and made of aluminum
or brass. It is advantageous to attempt to match the coefficient of thermal
expansion of the plastic to the materials used for inserts. This will reduce
the residual stresses in the plastic part of the gear during contraction while
cooling after molding.
When metal inserts are used, generous radii and fillets in the plastic
gear are recommended to avoid stress concentration. It is also possible to
use other types of metal inserts, such as self-threading, self-tapping screws,
press fits and knurled inserts. One advantage of the first two of these is
that they permit repeated assembly and disassembly without part failure or
fatigue.

18.6.5 Attachment Of Plastic Gears to Shafts

Several methods of attaching gears to shafts are in common use.


These include splines, keys, integral shafts, set screws, and plain and
knurled press fits. Table 18-21 lists some of the basic characteristics of
each of these fastening methods.

18.6.6 Lubrication

Depending on the application, plastic gears can operate with continuous


lubrication, initial lubrication, or no lubrication. According to L.D. Martin
(Injection Molded Plastic Gears, Plastic Design and Processing, 1968;
Part 1, August, pp 38-45; Part 2, September, pp. 33-35):

1. All gears function more effectively with lubrication and will have a
longer service life.

2. A light spindle oil (SAE 10) is generally recommended as are the
usual lubricants; these include silicone and hydrocarbon oils, and
in some cases cold water is acceptable as well.

3. Under certain conditions, dry lubricants such as molybdenum
disulfide, can be used to reduce tooth friction.
Ample experience and evidence exist substantiating that plastic gears
can operate with a metal mate without the need of a lubricant, as long
as the stress levels are not exceeded. It is also true that in the case of
a moderate stress level, relative to the materials rating, plastic gears can
be meshed together without a lubricant. However, as the stress level is
increased, there is a tendency for a localized plastic-to-plastic welding to
occur, which increases friction and wear. The level of this problem varies
with the particular type of plastic.
A key advantage of plastic gearing is that, for many applications,
running dry is adequate. When a situation of stress and shock level is
uncertain, using the proper lubricant will provide a safety margin and
certainly will cause no harm. The chief consideration should be in choosing
a lubricant's chemical compatibility with the particular plastic. Least likely to
encounter problems with typical gear oils and greases are: nylons, Delrins
(acetals), phenolics, polyethylene and polypropylene. Materials requiring

caution are: polystyrene, polycarbonates, polyvinyl chloride and ABS


resins.
An alternate to external lubrication is to use plastics fortified with a solid
state lubricant. Molybdenum disulfide in nylon and acetal are commonly
used. Also, graphite, colloidal carbon and silicone are used as fillers.
In no event should there be need of an elaborate sophisticated
lubrication system such as for metal gearing. If such a system is
contemplated, then the choice of plastic gearing is in question. Simplicity is
the plastic gear's inherent feature.

18.6.7 Molded Vs. Cut Plastic Gears

Although not nearly as common as the injection molding process, both


thermosetting and thermoplastic plastic gears can be readily machined.
The machining of plastic gears can be considered for high precision parts
with close tolerances and for the development of prototypes for which the
investment in a mold may not be justified.
Standard stock gears of reasonable precision are produced by using
blanks molded with brass inserts, which are subsequently hobbed to close
tolerances.
When to use molded gears vs. cut plastic gears is usually determined
on the basis of production quantity, body features that may favor molding,
quality level and unit cost. Often, the initial prototype quantity will be
machine cut, and investment in molding tools is deferred until the product
and market is assured. However, with some plastics this approach can
encounter problems.
The performance of molded vs. cut plastic gears is not always identical.
Differences occur due to subtle causes. Bar stock and molding stock may
not be precisely the same. Molding temperature can have an effect. Also,
surface finishes will be different for cut vs. molded gears. And finally, there
is the impact of shrinkage with molding which may not have been adequately
compensated.

different parts.
Since special terminology will be used, we shall first describe the
elements shown in Figure 18-10.
1. Locating Ring is the element which assures the proper location
of the mold on the platen with respect to the nozzle which injects the molten
plastic.
2. Sprue Bushing is the element which mates with the nozzle. It
has a spherical or flat receptacle which accurately mates with the surface of
the nozzle.
3. Sprue is the channel in the sprue bushing through which the
molten plastic is injected.
4. Runner is the channel which distributes material to different
cavities within the same mold base.
5. Core Pin is the element which, by its presence, restricts the flow
of plastic; hence, a hole or void will be created in the molded part.
6. Ejector Sleeves are operated by the molding machine. These
have a relative motion with respect to the cavity in the direction which will
cause ejection of the part from the mold.
7. Front Side is considered the side on which the sprue bushing and
the nozzle are located.
8. Gate is the orifice through which the molten plastic enters the
cavity.
9. Vent (not visible due to its small size) is a minuscule opening
through which the air can be evacuated from the cavity as the molten plastic
fills it. The vent is configured to let air escape, but does not fill up with
plastic.

18.6.8 Elimination of Gear Noise

Incomplete conjugate action and/or excessive backlash are usually


the source of noise. Plastic molded gears are generally less accurate than
their metal counterparts. Furthermore, due to the presence of a larger Total
Composite Error, there is more backlash built into the gear train.
To avoid noise, more resilient material, such as urethane, can be used.
Figure 18-9 shows several gears made of urethane which, in mesh with
Delrin gears, produce a practically noiseless gear train. The face width of
the urethane gears must be increased correspondingly to compensate for
lower load carrying ability of this material.

18.7 Mold Construction


Depending on the quantity of gears to be produced, a decision has to
be made to make one single cavity or a multiplicity of identical cavities. If
more than one cavity is involved, these are used as family molds inserted
in mold bases which can accommodate a number of cavities for identical or

T111

Fig. 18-10

Mold Nomenclature

The location of the gate on the


gear is extremely important. If a side
gate is used, as shown in Figure
18-11, the material is injected in one
spot and from there it flows to fill out
the cavity. This creates a weld line
opposite to the gate. Since the plastic
material is less fluid at that point in
time, it will be of limited strength where
the weld is located.
Furthermore, the shrinkage of the
material in the direction of the flow will
be different from that perpendicular
to the flow. As a result, a side-gated
gear or rotating part will be somewhat
elliptical rather than round.
In order to eliminate this problem,
diaphragm gating can be used, which
will cause the injection of material in all
directions at the same time (Figure 1812). The disadvantage of this method
is the presence of a burr at the hub
and no means of support of the core

pin because of the presence of the


sprue.
The best, but most elaborate,
way is multiple pin gating (Figure 1813). In this case, the plastic is injected
at several places symmetrically
located. This will assure reasonable
viscosity of plastic when the material
welds, as well as create uniform
shrinkage in all directions. The
problem is the elaborate nature of the
mold arrangement so called 3-plate
molds, in Figure 18-14 accompanied
by high costs. If precision is a Fig. 18-13 Multiple Pin Gating
requirement, this way of molding is a
must, particularly if the gears are of a
larger diameter.
To compare the complexity of a 3-plate mold with a 2-plate mold, which
is used for edge gating, Figure 18-15 can serve as an illustration.

SECTION 19 FEATURES OF TOOTH SURFACE CONTACT


Tooth surface contact is critical to noise, vibration, efficiency, strength,
wear and life. To obtain good contact, the designer must give proper
consideration to the following features:

- Modifying the Tooth Shape
Improve tooth contact by crowning or relieving.

- Using Higher Precision Gear
Specify higher accuracy by design. Also, specify that the
manufacturing process is to include grinding or lapping.

- Controlling the Accuracy of the Gear Assembly
Specify adequate shaft parallelism and perpendicularity of the gear
housing (box or structure).
Surface contact quality of spur and helical gears can be reasonably
controlled and verified through piece part inspection. However, for the most
part, bevel and worm gears cannot be equally well inspected. Consequently,
final inspection of bevel and worm mesh tooth contact in assembly provides
a quality criterion for control. Then, as required, gears can be axially
adjusted to achieve desired contact.
JIS B 1741 classifies surface contact into three levels, as presented in

Table 19-1.
The percentage in Table 19-1 considers only the effective width and
height of teeth.

19.1 Surface Contact Of Spur And Helical Meshes


A check of contact is, typically, only done to verify the accuracy of the
installation, rather than the individual gears. The usual method is to blue
dye the gear teeth and operate for a short time. This reveals the contact
area for inspection and evaluation.
19.2 Surface Contact Of A Bevel Gear

19.2.2 The Shaft Angle Error of Gear Box


As Figure 19-3 shows, the contact trace will move toward the toe end if
the shaft angle error is positive; the contact trace will move toward the heel
end if the shaft angle error is negative.
19.2.3 Mounting Distance Error

It is important to check the surface contact of a bevel gear both during


manufacturing and again in final assembly. The method is to apply a colored
dye and observe the contact area after running. Usually some load is applied,
either the actual or applied braking, to realize a realistic contact condition.
Ideal contact favors the toe end under no or light load, as shown in Figure
19-1; and, as load is increased to full load, contact shifts to the central part
of the tooth width.
Even when a gear is ideally manufactured, it may reveal poor surface
contact due to lack of precision in housing or improper mounting position,
or both. Usual major faults are:

1. Shafts are not intersecting, but are skew (offset error).

2. Shaft angle error of gear box.

3. Mounting distance error.
Errors 1 and 2 can be corrected only by reprocessing the housing/
mounting. Error 3 can be corrected by adjusting the gears in an axial direction. All three errors may be the cause of improper backlash.

If a gear box has an offset error, then it will produce crossed end contact,
as shown in Figure 19-2. This error often appears as if error is in the gear
tooth orientation.

Error

() Shaft
Angle Error

When the mounting distance of the pinion is a positive error, the contact
of the pinion will move towards the tooth root, while the contact of the mating
gear will move toward the top of the tooth. This is the same situation as if
the pressure angle of the pinion is smaller than that of the gear. On the other
hand, if the mounting distance of the pinion has a negative error, the contact
of the pinion will move toward the top and that of the gear will move toward
the root. This is similar to the pressure angle of the pinion being larger than
that of the gear. These errors may be diminished by axial adjustment with a
backing shim. The various contact patterns due to mounting distance errors
are shown in Figure 19-4.
Mounting distance error will cause a change of backlash; positive
error will increase backlash; and negative, decrease. Since the mounting
distance error of the pinion affects the surface contact greatly, it is customary
to adjust the gear rather than the pinion in its axial direction.

There is no specific Japanese standard concerning worm gearing,

Therefore, it is the general practice to test the tooth contact and backlash with a tester. Figure 19-5 shows the ideal contact for a worm gear
mesh.
From Figure 19-5, we realize that the ideal portion of contact inclines
to the receding side. The approaching side has a smaller contact trace than
the receding side. Because the clearance in

major factors, besides

Errors number 1 and number 2 can only be corrected by remaking the

along the axial direction. These three errors introduce varying degrees of
backlash.

Figure 19-8 shows the resulting poor contact from mounting distance
error of the worm gear. From the figure, we can see the contact shifts
toward the worm gear tooth's edge. The direction of shift in the contact
area matches the direction of worm gear mounting error. This error affects
backlash, which tends to decrease as the error increases. The error can be
diminished by microadjustment of the worm gear in the axial direction.

LUBRICATION OF GEARS

The purpose of lubricating gears is as follows:



1. Promote sliding between teeth to reduce the coefficient of friction
().

2. Limit the temperature rise caused by rolling and sliding friction.
To avoid difficulties such as tooth wear and premature failure, the
correct lubricant must be chosen.

Poor Contact Due to Shaft Angle Error

19.3.2 Center Distance Error

Even when exaggerated center distance errors exist, as shown in


Figure 19-7, the results are crossed end contacts. Such errors not only
cause bad contact but also greatly influence backlash.
A positive center distance error causes increased backlash. A negative
error will decrease backlash and may result in a tight mesh, or even make
it impossible to assemble.

20.1 Methods Of Lubrication


There are three gear lubrication methods in general use:
1. Grease lubrication.
2. Splash lubrication (oil bath method).
3. Forced oil circulation lubrication.
There is no single best lubricant and method. Choice depends upon
tangential speed (m/s) and rotating speed (rpm). At low speed, grease
lubrication is a good choice. For medium and high speeds, splash

T116

lubrication and forced circulation lubrication are more appropriate, but there
are exceptions. Sometimes, for maintenance reasons, a grease lubricant is
used even with high speed. Table 20-1 presents lubricants, methods and
their applicable ranges of speed.
The following is a brief discussion of the three lubrication methods.
20.1.1 Grease Lubrication
Grease lubrication is suitable for any gear system that is open or
enclosed, so long as it runs at low speed. There are three major points
regarding grease:

1. Choosing a lubricant with suitable viscosity.
A lubricant with good fluidity is especially effective in an enclosed
system.

2. Not suitable for use under high load and continuous operation.
The cooling effect of grease is not as good as lubricating oil. So it
may become a problem with temperature rise under high load and
continuous operating conditions.

3. Proper quantity of grease.
There must be sufficient grease to do the job. However, too much
grease can be harmful, particularly in an enclosed system. Excess
grease will cause agitation, viscous drag and result in power loss.
20.1.2 Splash Lubrication
Splash lubrication is used with an enclosed system. The rotating gears
splash lubricant onto the gear system and bearings. It needs at least 3 m/s
tangential speed to be effective. However, splash lubrication has several
problems, two of them being oil level and temperature limitation.
1. Oil level.
There will be excessive agitation loss if the oil level is too high. On the
other hand, there will not be effective lubrication or ability to cool the gears if
the level is too low. Table 20-2 shows guide lines for proper oil level. Also,
the oil level during operation must be monitored, as contrasted with the
static level, in that the oil level will drop when the gears are in motion. This
problem may be countered by raising the static level of lubricant or installing
an oil pan.
2. Temperature limitation.
The temperature of a gear system may rise because of friction loss due
to gears, bearings and lubricant agitation. Rising temperature may cause
one or more of the following problems:
- Lower viscosity of lubricant.
- Accelerated degradation of lubricant.
- Deformation of housing, gears and shafts.
- Decreased backlash.
New high-performance lubricants can withstand up to 80 to 90C. This
temperature can be regarded as the limit. If the lubricant's temperature is
expected to exceed this limit, cooling fins should be added to the gear box,
or a cooling fan incorporated into the system.

20.1.3 Forced-Circulation Lubrication


Forced-circulation lubrication applies lubricant to the contact portion
of the teeth by means of an oil pump. There are drop, spray and oil mist
methods of application.
1. Drop method:
An oil pump is used to suck-up the lubricant and then directly drop it on
the contact portion of the gears via a delivery pipe.
2. Spray method:
An oil pump is used to spray the lubricant directly on the contact area
of the gears.
3. Oil mist method:
Lubricant is mixed with compressed air to form an oil mist that is
sprayed against the contact region of the gears. It is especially suitable for
high-speed gearing.
Oil tank, pump, filter, piping and other devices are needed in the forcedlubrication system. Therefore, it is used only for special high-speed or large
gear box applications. By filtering and cooling the circulating lubricant, the
right viscosity and cleanliness can be maintained. This is considered to be
the best way to lubricate gears.
20.2 Gear Lubricants
An oil film must be formed at the contact surface of the teeth to
minimize friction and to prevent dry metal-to-metal contact. The lubricant
should have the properties listed in Table 20-3.
20.2.1 Viscosity of Lubricant
The correct viscosity is the most important consideration in choosing a
proper lubricant. The viscosity grade of industrial lubricant is regulated in JIS
K 2001. Table 20-4 expresses ISO viscosity grade of industrial lubricants.
JIS K 2219 regulates the gear oil for industrial and automobile use.
Table 20-5 shows the classes and viscosities for industrial gear oils.
JIS K 2220 regulates the specification of grease which is based on
NLGI viscosity ranges. These are shown in Table 20-6.
Besides JIS viscosity classifications, Table 20-7 contains AGMA
viscosity grades and their equivalent ISO viscosity grades.

20.2.2 Selection Of Lubricant

It is practical to select a lubricant by following the catalog or technical


manual of the manufacturer. Table 20-8 is the application guide from AGMA
250.03 "Lubrication of Industrial Enclosed Gear Drives".
Table 20-9 is the application guide chart for worm gears from AGMA
250.03.
Table 20-10 expresses the reference value of viscosity of lubricant
used in the equations for the strength of worm gears in JGMA 405-01.

Properties

The Properties that Lubricant Should Possess


Description

Correct and
Proper Viscosity

Lubricant should maintain a proper viscosity to form a stable oil film at


the specified temperature and speed of operation.

Antiscoring
Property

Lubricant should have the property to prevent the scoring failure


of tooth surface while under high-pressure of load.

Oxidization and
Heat Stability

A good lubricant should not oxidize easily and must perform in


moist and high-temperature environment for long duration.

Water Antiaffinity
Property

Moisture tends to condense due to temperature change, when the


gears are stopped. The lubricant should have the property of isolating
moisture and water from lubricant.

Antifoam
Property

If the lubricant foams under agitation, it will not provide a good oil film.
Antifoam property is a vital requirement.

Anticorrosion
Property

Lubrication should be neutral and stable to prevent corrosion from rust


that may mix into the oil.

SECTION 21 GEAR NOISE


There are several causes of noise. The noise and vibration in rotating
gears, especially at high loads and high speeds, need to be addressed.
Following are ways to reduce the noise. These points should be considered
in the design stage of gear systems.
1. Use High-Precision Gears
- Reduce the pitch error, tooth profile error, runout error and lead error.
- Grind teeth to improve the accuracy as well as the surface finish.
2. Use Better Surface Finish on Gears
- Grinding, lapping and honing the tooth surface, or running in gears in oil
for a period of time can also improve the smoothness of tooth surface
and reduce the noise.
3. Ensure a Correct Tooth Contact
- Crowning and relieving can prevent end contact.
- Proper tooth profile modification is also effective.
- Eliminate impact on tooth surface.
4. Have A Proper Amount of Backlash
- A smaller backlash will help reduce pulsating transmission.
- A bigger backlash, in general, causes less problems.

5. Increase the Contact Ratio


- Bigger contact ratio lowers the noise. Decreasing pressure angle
and/or increasing tooth depth can produce a larger contact ratio.
- Enlarging overlap ratio will reduce the noise. Because of this
relationship, a helical gear is quieter than the spur gear and a spiral
bevel gear is quieter than the straight bevel gear.
6. Use Small Gears
- Adopt smaller module gears and smaller outside diameter gears.
7. Use High-Rigidity Gears
- Increasing face width can give a higher rigidity that will help in reducing
noise.
- Reinforce housing and shafts to increase rigidity.
8. Use High-Vibration-Damping Material
- Plastic gears will be quiet in light load, low speed operation.
- Cast iron gears have lower noise than steel gears.
9. Apply Suitable Lubrication
- Lubricate gears sufficiently.
- High-viscosity lubricant will have the tendency to reduce the noise.
10. Lower Load and Speed
- Lowering rpm and load as far as possible will reduce gear noise.

8 The Surface Strength of Spline


The design concept of the spline surface strength is the
same as that of a key. Here is the formula for the allowable
transmission force (N) of spline.

where de : Effective diameter of spline shaft mm
In designing a spline shafts, besides considering the surface
strength, the tortional and bending stresses of spline should
be taken into account.

15 Cylindrical Gears: ISO System of Accuracy Part 1

JIS B 1702-01: 1998

JIS B 1702-01: 1998 and JIS B1702-02: 1998 cancel and replace the former JIS B 1702: 1976 (Gear accuracy of spur gear and helical
gear). This revision was made to adjust to International Standard Organization (ISO) standards.
Shown here are tables, extracted from JIS B 1702-01 and 1702-02, concerning the gear accuracy.
To distinguish new standards from old ones, each of the grades under the new standards has the prefix "N".
Discrepancies between new and old standards
As some change in the classification has been made of module and reference diameter (reference pitch diameter, in old
standards), there may be some difficulties to find out what old grade in question corresponds to which new grade.
As a yardstick new accuracy grades are said to be equal to old accuracy grades plus 4. In certain cases, however, this yardstick
does not apply.
As the need arises, please refer to "JGMA/TR 0001 (2000): Comparison table between new and old accuracy grades".
