angular timing of compound gear


---
 Share

Recommended Posts

For a sintered compound gear, that is used as a planet gear in a planetary gearbox, it is crucial for both functionality and interchangeability that the two different gearings of the gear are always in exactly the same angular position relative to each other in all delivered parts.
In other words, the relative orientation of the two gearings must not vary from part to part.

My question is: Is there a specific measurement routine or function in the Calypso or Gear Pro measurement software that allows me to determine, measure, and document this relative angular position between the two gearings?
If so, how would such a measurement be performed, and which settings would be required for this purpose?

Not exactly in Gear Pro, I have requested this feature on MyVoice, as other gear software has this option available.

It is commonly done each time in Calpso,

Here is a brief guide attached,

 

Mainly you want to use 'self-centering' points in each gap on either side of the "tooth" in line. the use a symmetry for the CL of this tooth.

 

Occasionally the 'gaps' are required to be in line, in this case you would measure 1 gap self center point on each.

Good luck.
