this curve is used a lot in gear design. This curve is used to get the gear tooth profile and when two gears of this profile mesh, the instantaneous contact point is only one and it moves along the curve profile. This property is known as line of action or line of Contact or pressure Line and this is why it is used extensively in gear design.

How do you call a trace of a point on a circle that rolls and slips?

Not certain what you mean but try google / involute curve , then click on the involute curvethe involute curve is the fundemantal shape of (amongst others) a spur gear tooth profile, generated from the gear base circle diameter.


Why not cycloidal gears used instead of involute gears in all places?

as it is known there two types of gear tooth available. but only the involute gear tooth is used in every place. This is because the cycloidal gear tooth do not allow any tolerances for centre distance between the gears. It is has to be very exact for the cycloidal gears to mesh properly. but the involute gears allow certain degree of change in centre distance hence the involute gear tooth is used always.


Why should you avoid interference in gears?

Interference occurs when the addendum of the involute gear goes on the increased. When this occurs there is a increase in the toothspace and decrease in the teeth of the particular gear. So with reduction in the toothspace there occurs a slipping in the involute gear. Inorder to reduce that particular condition we have to avoid interference in gears.

What is gear and gearing?

1..Gears are components which are being used for large power transmission at shorter distances. 2..velocity ratio could be improved and hence slippage is being reduced other than that of using belts,ropes,chain drives.... 3..types of gears are involute gear,spur,helix,herringbone or double helix gear, MITRE,bevel, harmonic,cage gears,etc whereas gearing referred to mating with the other one...>>>>>>.
