- When the center distance is increased by a relatively small amount, ∆C, a backlash space develops
between mating teeth, as in Figure 1.21. The relationship between center distance increase and linear
backlash, BLA, along the line of action, is:
BLA = 2(∆C)sin φ (21)
This measure along the line-of-action is useful when inserting a feeler gage between teeth to measure backlash.
The equivalent linear backlash measured along the pitch circle is given by:
B = 2(∆C) tan φ (22a)
where:
∆C = change in center distance
φ = pressure angle
Hence, an approximate relationship between center distance change and change in backlash is:
∆C= 1.933 ∆B for 14½° pressure-angle gears (22b)
∆C= 1.374 ∆B for 20° pressure-angle gears (22c)
T47
- Although these are approximate relationships they are adequate for most uses. Their derivation, limitations, and correction
factors are detailed in Reference 5.
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 14½º gears, and this constitutes one of the few advantages of the lower pressure angle.
Equations 22 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:
BLA (23)
B = _____
cos φ
The angular backlash at the gear shaft is usually the critical factor in the gear application. As seen
from Figure 1.20a this is related to the gear’s pitch radius as follows:
B (24)
____ (arc minutes)
aB = 3440
R1
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.

- 5.0 HELICAL GEARS
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 1.22.
This design brings forth a number of different features relative to the spur gear, two of the most important being as follows:
1. tooth strength is improved because of the elongated helical wrap around
tooth base support.
2. contact ratio is increased due to the axial tooth overlap. Helical gears thus
tend to have greater load-carrying capactiy 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 (or spiral gears) for connecting skew shafts, usually at tight
angles.
5.1 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 1.23, there is a base cylinder from which a taut plane is unwrapped, analogous to the unwinding taut
string of the spur gear in Figure 12. 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.
T52
- 5.2 Fundamental of Helical Teeth
In tho piano of rotation the helical gear tooth is involute and all of the relationships govorning spur gears apply to the helical.
However, tho axial twist of the teeth introduces a holix anglo. Since the helix angle varies from the base of the tooth to the
outside radnjs, the helix angle, w~ is detned 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 1.24.
The direction of the helical twist is designated as either left or right. The direction is defined by the right-hand rule.
5.3 Helical Gear Relationships
For helical gears there are two related pitches: one in the plane of rotation and the other in a plane normal to the tooth. In
addition there is an axial pitch. These are defined and related as follows: Referring to Figure 1.25, the two circular pitches are
related as follows:
Pcn = Pc cos ψ = normal circular pitch (25)
The normal circular pitch is less than the transverse or circular pitch in the plane of rotation, the ratio between the two being
equal to the cosine of the helix angle. Consistent with this, the normal diametral pitch is greater than the transverse pitch:
Pdn = Pd = normal diametral pitch (26)
cos ψ
The axial pitch of a helical gear is the distance between corresponding points of adjacent teeth measured parallel to the
gears axis—see Figure 1.26. Axial pitch, p1. is related to circular pitch by the expressions:
Pa = Pc cot ψ = Pcn = axial pitch (27)
sin ψ
T53
- 5.4 Equivalent Spur Gear
The true involute pitch and involute geometry of a helical gear is that 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 1.27. The result of the transposed geometry
is an equivalent number of teeth given as:
NV = N (28)
cos³ψ
This equivalent number is also called a virtual number because this spur
gear is imaginary. The value of this number is its use in determining helical
tooth strength.
5.5 Pressure Angle
Although strictly speaking, pressure angle exists only for a gear pair, a nominal pressure angle can be considered for an individual
gear. For the helical gear there is a normal pressure angle as well as the usual pressure angle in the plane of rotation. Figure 1.28
shows their relationship, which is expressed as:
tan φ = tan φn (29)
cos ψ
5.6 Importance of Normal Plane Geometry
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.
T54
f
- 5.7 Helical Tooth Proportions
These follow the same standards as those for spur gears. Addendum, dedendum, whole depth and clearance are the same
regardless of whothor measured in tho piano of rotation er the normal piano. Pressure angle and pitch are usually specified as
standard values in tho normal plane, but there are times when they are specified standard in the transverse plane.
5.8 Parallel Shaft Helical Gear Meshes
Fundamental information for the design of gear meshes is as follows:
5.8.1 Helix angle — Both gears of a meshed pair must have the same helix angle. However, the
helix directions must be opposite, i.e., a left-hand mates with a right-hand helix.
5.8.2 Pitch dIameter — This is given by the same expression as for spur gears, but if the normal
pitch is involved it is a function of the helix angle. The expressions are:
D=N= N (30)
Pd Pdn cos ψ
5.8.3 Center distance — Utilizing equation 30, the center distance of a helical gear mesh is:
C = ( N1+N2 ) (31)
2 Pdn cos ψ
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 (ψ) the center distance can be adjusted over a wide range of
values. Conversely, it is possible
a. to compensate for significant center distance changes (or erçors) without changing the speed ratio between parallel geared
shafts; and
b. to alter the speed ratio between parallel geared shafts without changing center distance by manipulating helix angle along with
tooth numbers.
5.8.4 Contact Ratio — 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 (equation 18), and a term involving the
axial pitch.
(mp)total = (mp)trans + (mp)axial (32)
where
T55
- New Page 4
(mp)trans = value per equation 18
(mp)axial = F = F tan ψ = F sin ψ
Pa Pc Pcn
and F = face width of gear.
5.8.5 Involute interference — Helical gears cut with standard normal pressure angles can have considerably higher pressure
angles in the plane of rotation (see equation 29), depending on the helix angle. Therefore, referring to equation 19, the minimum
number of teeth without undercutting can be significantly reduced and helical gears having very low tooth numbers without
undercutting are feasible.
5.9 Crossed Helical Gear Meshes
These are also known as spiral and screw gears. They are used for interconnecting skew shafts, such as in Figure 1.29. They can
be designed to connect shafts at any angle, but in most applications the shafts are at right angles.
5.9.1 Helix angle and hands — The helix angles need not be the same. However, their sum must equal the shaft
angle:
ψ1 + ψ2 = θ (33)
where:
ψ1, ψ2 = the respective helix angles of the two gears
θ = shaft angle (the acute angle between the two shafts when viewed in a direction parallel
ing a common perpendicular between the shafts)
Except for very small shaft angles, the helix hands are the same.
5.9.2 Pitch — Because of the possibility of ditferent helix angles for the gear pair, the transverse pitches may not be the same.
However, the normal pitches must always be identical.
T56
file:///C|/A3/D190/HTML/D190T56.htm [9/30/2000 10:10:44 AM]
- 5.9.3 Center Distance — The pitch diameter of a crossed-helical gear is given by equation 30, and the center distance
becomes:
C = 1 ( N1 + N2 ) (34)
2Pdn cos ψ1 cos ψ2
Again it is possible to adjust the center distance by manipulating the helix angle. However, both gear helix angles must be
altered consistently in accordance with equation 33.
5.9.4 Velocity ratio — Unlike spur and parallel shaft helical meshes the velocity ratio (gear 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 only from
the number of teeth as follows:
velocity ratio Z = N1 (35)
N2
or if pitch diameters are introduced the relationship is:
Z = D1 cos ψ1 (36)
D2 cos ψ2
5.10 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 is given by the expression:
WT =Wt tanψ (37)
where:
WT = axial thrust load
Wt = 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 1.29.
When the helix angle is larger than about 20°, the use of double helical gears with opposite hands (Figure 1 .30b) or herringbone
gears (Figure 1.30a) is worth considering.
T57
- 6.0 RACKS
Gear racks (Figure 1.31) are important components in that they are a means of converting rotational motion into linear motion.
In theory the rack is a gear with infinite pitch diameter, resulting in an involute profile that is essentially a straight line, and the
tooth is of simple V form. Racks can be both spur and helical. A rack will mesh with all gears of the same pitch. Backlash is
computed by the same formula as for gear pairs, equation 22. However, the pressure angle and the gears pitch radius remain
constant regardless of changes in the relative position of the gear and rack. Only the pitch line shifts accordingly as the gear
center is altered. See Figure 1.32.
7.0 INTERNAL GEARS
A special feature of spur and helical gears is their capability of being made in an internal form, in which an internal gear mates
with an ordinary external gear. This offers considerable versatility in the design of planetary gear trains and miscellaneous
instrument packages.
7.1 Development of the Internal Gear
The gears considered so far can be imagined as equivalent pitch circle friction discs which roll on each other with external contact
If instead, one of the pitch circles rolls on the inside of the ether, it forms the basis of internal gearing. In addition, the larger
gear must have the material forming the teeth on the convex side of the involute profile, such that the internal gear is an inverse
of the common external gear, see Figure 1.33a.
The base circles, line of action and development of the involute profiles and action are shown in Figure 1.33b. As with spur
gears there is a taut generating string that winds and unwinds between the base circles. However, in this case the string does not
cross the line of centers, and actual contact and involute development occurs on an extension of the common tangent. Otherwise,
action parallels that for external spur gears.
T58
- 7.2 Tooth Parts of Internal Gear
Because the internal gear is reversed relative to the external gear, the tooth parts are also reversed relative to the ordinary
(external) gear. This is shown in Figure 1.34. Tooth proportions and standards are the same as for external gears except that the
addendum of the gear is reduced to avoid trimming of the teeth in the fabrication process.
T59
- Tooth thickness of the internal gear can be calculated with equations 9 and 20, but one must remember that the tooth and space
thicknesses are reversed, (see Figure 1.35). Also, in using equation 10 to calculate tooth thickness at various radii, (see Figure
1.36), it is the tooth space that is calculated and the internal gear tooth thickness is obtained by a subtraction from the circular
pitch at that radius, Thus, applying equation 10 to Figure 1.36,
7.3 Teeth Thickness Measurement
In a procedure similar to that used for external gears, tooth thickness can be measured indirectly by gaging with pins, but this
time the measurement is "under" the pins, as shown in Figure 1.37. Equations 11 thru 13 are modified accordingly to yield:
For an even number of teeth:
M= 2 ( Rc - dw ) (38)
2
For an odd number of teeth:
M = 2(Rc cos 90º - dw ) (39)
N 2
inv φ1=inv φ + π - T - dw
N D Dcos φ
where:
Rc = cos φ R
cos φ1
T60
- 7.4 Features of Internal Gears
General advantages:
1. Lend to compact design since the center distance is less than for external gears.
2. A high contact ratio is possible.
3. Good surface endurance due to a convex profile surface working against a concave surface.
General disadvantages:
1. Housing and bearing supports are more complicated, because the external gear nests
within the internal gear.
2. Low velocity ratios are unsuitable and in many cases impossible because of interferences.
3. Fabrication is limited to the shaper generating process, and usually special tooling is required.
8.0 WORM MESH
The worm mesh is another gear type used for connecting skew shafts, usually 90º, see Figure 1.38. Worm meshes are
characterized by high velocity ratios. Also, they offer the advantage of the higher load
capacity associated with their line contact in contrast to the point contact of the crossed-helical mesh
8.1 Worm Mesh Geometry
The worm is equivalent to a V-type screw thread, as evident from Figure 1.39. The mating worm-gear teeth have a helical lead. A
central section of the mesh, taken through the worm’s axis and perpendicular to the wormgear’s axis, as shown in Figure 1.39,
reveals a rack-type tooth for the worm, and a curved involute tooth form for the wormgear. However, the involute features are
only true for the central section. Sections on either side of the worm axis reveal non-symmetric and non-involute 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 wormgear. To increase the length of action the wormgear is made of a throated shape to
wrap around the Worm.
T61
- 8.2 Worm Tooth Proportions
Worm tooth dimensions, such as addendum, dedendum, pressure angle, etc., follow the same standards as those for spur and
helical gears. The standard values apply to the central section of the mesh, (see Figure 1.40a). A high pressure angle is favored
and in some applications values as high as 25º and 30° are used.
8.3 Number of Threads
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 them can be two, three, or even more threads. Thus, a worm is
characterized by the number of threads, nw.
8.4 Worm and Wormgear Calculations
Referring to Figure 1.40b and recalling the relationships established for normal and transverse pitches in Par.5, the following
defines the geometry of worm mesh components.

T63
- 8.5 Velocity Ratio
The gear ratio of a worm mesh cannot be calculated from the ratio of the pitch diameters. It can be determined only from the
ratio of tooth numbers:
velocity ratio = Z = no. teeth in worm gear = Ng (43)
no. threads in worm
9.0 BEVEL GEARING
For intersecting shafts, bevel gears offer a good means of transmitting motion and power. Most transmissions occur at right
angles (Figure 1.41), but the shaft angle can be any value. Ratios up to 4:1 are common, although higher ratios are possible as
well.
9.1 Development and Geometry of Bevel Gears
Bevel gears have tapered elements because they can be generated by rolling cones, their pitch surfaces lying on the surface of a
sphere. Pitch diameters of mating bevel gears belong to frusta of cones, as shown in Figure 1.42. In the full development on the
surface of a sphere, a pair of meshed bevel gears and a crown gear are in conjugate engagement as shown in Figure 1.43.
The crown gear, which is a bevel gear having the largest possible pitch angle (defined in Figure 1.43), 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-S trace in its extreme extension, see Figure 1.44. This
shape gives rise to the name "octoid" for the tooth form of modem bevel gears.
T64
- T65
- 9.2 Bevel Gear Tooth Proportions
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 200. 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 1.45.
9.3 Velocity Ratio
The velocity ratio can be derived from the ratio of several parameters:
velocity ratio = Z = N1 = D1 = sin γ1 (44)
N2 D2 sin γ2
where:
γ = pitch angle (Figure 1.45)
