Abstract
On the meshing of the gear pair at the start of meshing and the end of meshing, the meshing of the addendum edge are occurred, when the actual double tooth contact begins and ends outside the geometric double tooth contact. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain equivalent meshing error at the edge of gear tooth tip on analyzing the meshing of the gear. In this study, the method for calculating equivalent meshing error at the edge of gear tooth tip was devised, and some calculation was carried out using the method. Then, the calculation results were compared with the results by the conventional calculation method.
