2. Characteristics of involute and
cycloidal gear ,Interference and
undercutting ,Center distance
variation ,Minimum number of teeth
,Contact ratio.
13. Number of teeth
The numbers NP {z1} and NG{z2} represent the
number of teeth on the ’pinion’ and ’gear’ respectively.
As a default the data of the pinion is input in the left
column, the data of the gear in the right column.
For spur gears you need a minimum number of 17
teeth to avoid undercut without any profile shift. You
can achive a smaller number of teeth with an
appropriate profile shift factor or using helical gears.
