Two Mathematical Models for Generation of Crowned Tooth Surface

الملخص EN

Gear couplings are mechanical components to connect shaft ends and eliminate the misalignments.

The most important element of the gear coupling is the hub which is an external gear having crowned teeth.

The crowned teeth on the hub are typically produced by hobbing.

The resulting tooth surface depends on several parameters.

It is influenced by the size of the hob and the feed.

In this paper two mathematical models of the crowned tooth surface are introduced for the generation of the idealized tooth surfaces.

These are the profile-shifting and the two-parameter enveloping methods.

Our aim is to compare the obtained crowned tooth profiles for the two examined models and to investigate the results.

From our numerical results, it was found that the two profiles show indistinguishable differences.
