So I have a set of gears
teeth:76
MOD: 3
Pressure Angle: 20 deg
pitch dia: 9.444
tooth angle: 18.1* (LH/RH)
gear lash: .003-.003
pin dia: .204
Over pins: 9.7269/9.7244
these are in a very old machine and the center distance is measuring: 9.460
we have a lot of other machines out there where...
I am working on designing a gearbox I am trying to determine what the optimal helix angle I need is and what the optimal face length should be.
besides noise reduction what advantage/disadvantage is there with increasing the helix angle? between say 15deg-20deg. is there an optimal face length...
