Face gears

ZF1 Face gears geometry
Geometry of face gears with cylindrical pinion gears as counter gear, for shaft angle = 90°, without offset
2D display with tooth form on the inside, at the center and on the outside
The checking of undercut and pointed tooth tip is performed graphically in the 2D view, while tip alteration can be varied to prevent pointed tooth tips (with sizing function)

Face gears

General

• Strength rating along ISO 6336 (modified along Niemann, Roth and Basstein), ASS / Crown Gear / DIN 3990, based on ISO 10300, based on DIN 3991
• For 90° or greater shaft angle, with axis offset, for spur and helical gears
• Axis offset may be positive or negative
• 3D models include solid model, skin model, cutting model (based on shaping cutter geometry) and solid model of single toot and single gap of face gear
• Calculation of subsystem reliability based on pinion and face gear life, using three parametric Weibull distribution

Configurations

• Face gear with cylindrical pinion as spur or helical gear
• Calculation of face gear geometry at different diameters by simulating manufacturing with a pinion type cutter
• Check against undercut and pointed tooth by varying tooth height
• Export of 2D or 3D geometry considering tolerances such as tooth thickness tolerances, tip and root diameter tolerances
• Crowning of face gear through modifications on pinion type cutter
• Output of contact lines on face gear
• Corner modification on inner and outer diameter

Export

• Export of 3D geometry of pinion, face gear and system as *.stp file
• Export of 2D geometry of pinion, shaping cutter and face gear sections as *.dxf file
• Export of surface topology / measurement grid using Klingelnberg and Gleason data format, for pinion and face gear, for a user defined number of grid points
• Export of pinion and face gear data table for CAD drawings
