Wow thank you for all the posts! The exact tooth shape is extremely important, because the mold maker will be making the mold directly from the resulting CAD model. This is why figuring out how to solid model the gear tooth is so critical to me. As of right now I have applied a planar involute...
Thank you for the input. From what I am gathering, I cannot simply apply the involute curve onto the angle of the bevel gear faces, and that there is no real standard for bevel gear teeth profiles?
If true, what is the best way to go about designing the teeth with no standards?
Hello all,
I am attempting to design a set of 2 plastic bevel gears to be injection molded. I have consulted the AGMA standards for bevel gearing and plastic gear design, but neither show how to design a gear tooth for a bevel gear. It seems to me that many bevel gears do not even have involute...
