  • Patent number: 8752447
    Abstract: A method for establishing the gearing geometries of a gear pairing of two gears with intersection axes comprises the following steps: predetermining a first gearing geometry of a virtual first gear; calculating the geometry of the gearing of a virtual second gear, this geometry resulting during conjugated creation from a roll-off process of a tooth (1) of the predetermined geometry of the virtual first gear, whereby the roll-off process of the tooth (1) of the virtual first gear, this roll-off process underlying the calculation, is ended in the symmetrical position thereof in the tooth gap (3) of the second virtual tooth; calculating the tooth face geometry of the teeth of the first gear, this tooth face geometry resulting during the reverse conjugated creation, while underlying a full roll-off process of a tooth of the virtual second gear with the first; establishing the final geometry of the gearing of the first gear according to the tooth face geometry of the gearing of the first gear, this tooth face geom

  • Patent number: 7950305
    Abstract: In the toothing system (1) of a gearwheel having a plurality of teeth (2, 3; 19) whose tooth flanks (4, 5, 6; 22) have involute form above a tooth-root region (7, 8, 9; 23) of the tooth flanks (4, 5, 6; 22), the tooth-root region (7, 8, 9; 23) of the tooth flanks (4, 5, 6; 22) that, as viewed in normal section, extends between a root useful point (15, 16, 17; 23) and a root point (F) has elliptical shape, tangentially adjoins the involute region of the tooth flank (4, 5, 6; 22) at the root useful point (15, 16, 17; 24) and tangentially contacts the root circle (FKS) at the root point (F). In its tooth-root region (7, 8, 9; 23), the tooth flank (4, 5, 6; 22), as viewed in normal section, substantially follows a partial section (B) of an ellipse (10, 11, 12; E) whose semiaxes (a, b) have different lengths, one semiaxis (a, b) of the ellipse (10, 11, 12; E) being inclined at an ellipse tilting angle alpha larger than 0° and smaller than 90° relative to a radial (R) through the root point (F).

  • Patent number: 7926379
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gear pair consisting of a crown gear (1) and of a pinion gear (2) provided in the form of a spur gear with an axis crossing angle of 90°. According to the invention, the teeth (3) of the pinion gear (2), in order to reduce an undercut of the teeth (5) of the crown gear (1), have a pressure angle, which increases from the outside inward in a radial direction with regard to the crown gear (1), or in the event of a constant pressure angle, have a profile offset, which decreases from the outside inward in a radial direction with regard to the crown gear (1).

  • Patent number: 6244413
    Abstract: The invention concerns a morphology matrix for forming the cross-sectional shape of a short gearing tooth, in particular on toothed wheels of motor vehicle gearboxes. The short gearing teeth are formed on a cylindrical section of a gear wheel or gear shift sleeve, the axis of this section coinciding with the displacement axis of the gear shift sleeve. Each tooth comprises a tip which is chamfered in roof-like manner and has lateral flanks (3) which are shaped towards the tooth base (1) so that they have a relief at least over part of their height. The lateral flanks (3) terminate in a radiused tooth base (4), all of the teeth, or some thereof defined according to a regularly changing pattern, having at least a morphology defining the shape of the lateral flanks.

  • Patent number: 6044951
    Abstract: In the case of a claw toothing for a gearbox or the like, of which the claws are designed with an undercut and, viewed in cross-section with respect to the longitudinal axis of the claws, have a flat or convex roof profile, it is provided to improve the engagement that the plan view of the claws tapers into a wedge shape towards the rotational axis of the claw toothing and that the generatrices (5a, 5b) of the roof profile and/or the sides, in the longitudinal direction of the claw, are straight lines which go through the rotational axis (D).
