Principle and Method of Precision Measurement for Conical Involute Gears

There is no common normal in the conical involute gear and the fixed chordal tooth thickness can not be measured accurately because of the coexistence of helix angle and taper. According to the characteristics of the conical involute gear flank profile, a new method which can perform on-line accurate measurement of tooth thickness and taper error, and can make it possible to control the finished size of the gear in hobbing and grinding is developed by means of measuring the over ball distance of the gear two end through exact steel ball. The method has been verified by experiments. Thus new theoretical formulae to calculate over ball distance are studied.
