Hello,
I am trying to create an involute spline curve for gear teeth on the outer profile of a part.
Spline Data is as follows:
# teeth = 128
Pitch = 10/20
Pressure angle = 45
Base dia = 9.05
Major dia = 12.9
Pitch dia = 12.8
Form dia = 12.71 Max
Minor Dia = 12.67 Min
Pin Dia = .1920
The teeth sit on a 12.9'' OD.
I calculated a few items i needed:
Pitch(teeth/inch) = 10
Tooth thickness = p/2 = .157
Addendum distances = 0.1
deddendum distances = 0.125
I have attached a picture of what i have so far. The pressure angle with the horizontal is 45 degrees.
The base dia is off the screen and drawn at 9.05'' OD.
I do not have data for the gear that will mesh with the gear I am creating. Do i need any meshing data from the other gear?
I highlighted the top of the tooth in red where the pitch dia and addendum dia meet to create the top of the tooth.
Does something not look right?
thanks,
