CHAPTER 2
The involute curve is started from the base circle and it can be
generated by using the following relations of tooth radii which is shown in
Figure 2.1 (Maitra 1996, Shigley and Charles 2003).

When the cutting tool transverses and the work rotate, an involute
is generated on the gear tooth flank and a trochoid in the root fillet, as shown
in Figure 2.2. Figure 2.3 is a closer view at a hob tooth and it shows a hob
pressure angle and diametral pitch π / (TH+TP).
It is shown that if the base circle radius and the involute angle are
known, the radius to the curve can be found for any assumed pressure angle.
Therefore, to find the coordinates with respect to the center of the tooth, the
tooth thickness at any radius must be known. So, let us start at the pitch
diameter with a pressure angle , pitch radius rp , and a circular tooth
thickness CTT , the involute angle is:

This programme can be used to obtain the tooth profile for any
required conditions in the next chapters; the outputs of this programme for
two random cases are shown in Chapter 7.

The most direct method for measuring the tooth thickness of a gear
makes use of an instrument called a gear-tooth caliper as shown in Figure 2.8.

So, from Equation (2.21) the pressure angle can be determined at any
point on the involute curve in relation to the parameters of another known
point.

After measuring the tooth thickness by using any one of the two
formulations which are expressed in this chapter, it is possible to design the
spur gear profile with reversible engineering method.
