Abstract
A computerized approach is proposed for designing the optimium tooth-surfaces which provide the favorable tooth bearing contact and motion transmission in axis-displaced crossed helical involute gears. The approach is applied to a few kinds of axis-displaced gears by way of example, and the optimum tooth-surfaces are obtained. The tooth contact performances such as tooth bearing contact and motion transmission of the testing gears having the optimum tooth-surfaces, are calculated and evaluated by utilizing newly developed tooth contact analysis program. From the results, it is clarified that the proposed approach is effective for the above-mentioned purpose. And also, it is ascertained this approach is applicable for all types of cylindrical involute gears.
