Introduction The geometrical accuracy of 3 dimensional tooth flank form is one of the most important items to insure the performance of gears. For cylindrical involute gears,

2、 tooth form checker is widely used to fulfill this techno-industrial demands. For bevel and hypoid gears although, the development of tooth form checker is still not well done. The conventional measurement was carried out usually at 9 x 5 matrix points on a tooth flank, and it is not easy to estimat

3、e the gear performance from that measured results. The lack of the number of measuring points makes it difficult to get necessary information, for instance, about heat-treatment distortion and about the state of lapping removal. The measuring technology of the curved figure of tooth flank, accuratel

4、y in position and in absolute value of measurement, is therefore strongly demanded for the quality control of those gears. The first attempt of the development of hypoid gear checker to fulfil the industrial demand mentioned above began in the later years of 1970s. This report explains how the curve

5、 measurement of the tooth flank of beyel and hypoid gears is realized through the continuous work of the development based on the original work and the accuracy of the measurement is discussed.

12、s of tooth flank in 3D space of gear checkers scales into the form accuracy or form deviation of the tooth flank, that is to convert these values into the values on the coordinate system of the objective gear. For this purpose, the zero point adjustment of checker scales is first done by measuring t

13、he datum surface of the objective gear by the same probe of the checker. Form deviation is the deviation of the position of the actual tooth flank to be measured from the reference tooth flank for the definition of form accuracy, i.e. in Fig.1. In case of CNC gear checker, this reference tooth flank

14、 is given by the numerical data. For example, at the measurement of cylindrical involute gear teeth, the 3D coordinate values of involute helicoid are converted to the gear checkers scale values to drive the probe along the reference surface for the definition of the form accuracy of gear tooth flan

15、k. Fig.2 illustrates the relation between hardware and software to measure form accuracy of tooth flanks by CNC gear checker. 3. Nature of hypoid or bevel gear tooth measurement It is interesting that so much percentage of gear engineers and gear researchers knows only cylindrical involute gears and

16、 hardly knows the fundamental about hypoid or bevel gears. They usually extrapolate their thought about cylindrical involute gears to the hypoid or bevel gears and sometimes that extrapolation is not correct. To measure the tooth flank form accuracy of hypoid or bevel gears, the first difficulty is

17、that the reference tooth flank for the definition of form accuracy is not uniquely approved: This is the main difference from the case of cylindrical involute gears and the reason why the tooth form accuracy of hypoid or bevel gears is not defined in any national or international Standards. The Glea

18、son and Klingelnberg companies propose to use the trajectory surface of cutter blade to the work piece at gear cutting for the reference of the definition of form accuracy. The main trouble is that the reference surface becomes the function of setting parameters or summary data of each type of gear

19、cutting machine and it is not expressed by explicit mathematical formulae. Compare this fact with the case of cylindrical involute gears whose reference for the definition of tooth flank form deviation is involute helicoid that is a well known mathematical function. carried out by observation of con

22、 gears are usually heat treated after tooth cutting and lapped. Distortion or deformation of the gear through heat treatment process is considerably large, and the datum surface of the work piece at the gear cutting loses its position. After the heat treatment, the datum surface of the wor!; piece i

23、s regenerated by holding the distorted tooth flank. Gear lapping is then carried out on this new datum surface that is different datum from that of the gear cutting. The reference surface for the definition of tooth flank form accuracy is obtained on the old datum and the conversion of the measured

24、data of objective tooth flank stored as the gear checkers scale data to the data defined on the coordinate system fixed to the objective gear to evaluate the form accuracy becomes therefore less accurate. For the case of cylindrical involute gears, such problem also exists, but for hypoid or bevel g

28、ear dimensions, it is impossible to avoid the quadrant change of NC scales of the checker during the measurement. Some inevitable influence such as lost motion and other non linearity are getting in the measurement. To minimize the data discontinuity at the quadrant change, very precise machine hard

29、ware is necessary. h c To measure the tooth flank of bevelhypoid gears, the contacting position on the surface of ball at the tip of probe stylus is not a fixed point: it moves over the surface of the bail. This brings difficult problem to compensate the influence of the radius of the ball from the

30、measured data for the form accuracy of gear tooth. The maintenance of probe stylus of the checker is very important. Hypoid or bevel gear wheel and pinion is cut with quite different machine. The conventional measurement of 3 -3113- COPYRIGHT American Gear Manufacturers Association, Inc.Licensed by

Because the reference for the wheel and that for its

To use these data of tooth flank form deviation for the prediction of the gear performance, som

The requirement for the measurement of tooth flank form accuracy is considered as the following four cases: (1) at desi

It is necessary to predict the stress values and vibrational excitation, if there is failure during the operation. It is convenient if those
