Methods of Synthesis and Analysis for Hypoid Gear-Drives of “Formate” and “Helixform”—Part 1. Calculations For Machine Settings For Member Gear Manufacture of the Formate and Helixform Hypoid Gears

Abstract

Methods for synthesis and analysis Hypoid gears generated by Helixform and Formabe methods are suggested. The article is a three-part one divided according to the considered stages of synthesis and analysis: (a) the determination of machine settings for the member-gear manufacture (after that tooth surface of the member-gear can be obtained); (b) machine setting calculations for the pinion on the base of the local synthesis for gears with approximate meshing; (c) methods for analysis (in the whole area of meshing) and optional synthesis for the mismatch gearing and its application for Hypoid gears.
