Does anyone has a model of a gear, or odesknow where to find, (the correct shape), which we can modify if necessary. At the moment we need a gear mod12, 14 teeth, contact angle 20

ago. You have to model the correct major OD (or ID) set up an end
plane and a coordinate system then place it, it has variables for you
to fill in and then it does the rest.

Dell_Boy said:Thanks for the info but I think you have confused my request as you appear to be describing a trochoidal gear.
With the standard involute tooth form the driven gear suffers from slight cyclic variation in angular velocity due to the variation in effective contact radius which is one of the reasons for avoiding gears with low numbers of teeth.
The cycloidal profile does not have this problem.
