Analysis of outline measurements methods of spur gear involute profile

Abstract

Comparsion of measuring methods for the involute profile of the spur gear tooth is described in this paper. The gear profile measurement results from the universal toolmakers microscope are compared with the results of use of Zeiss coordinate measuring machine with Gear Pro software and with the results of the theoretical calculation of the reference profile. The proposed measurements methods can be successfully used in quality management of unit production of gear drives.
