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.


What is the difference between a spur gear and an involute gear?

A spur gear is a type of gear characterized by its straight teeth that are parallel to the gear axis, designed primarily for transmitting power between parallel shafts. In contrast, an involute gear refers to the specific tooth profile used in many gears, including spur gears, where the tooth shape is derived from an involute curve. This profile allows for smooth engagement and efficient power transmission, minimizing wear and noise. Essentially, while all involute gears can be spur gears, not all spur gears use the involute tooth profile.


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 are involute teeth?

Involute teeth refer to a specific gear tooth profile characterized by a curved shape derived from the involute of a circle. This design allows for smooth engagement and disengagement between meshing gears, resulting in consistent transmission of motion and torque. Involute gears are widely used in mechanical systems due to their ability to maintain a constant velocity ratio and minimize wear during operation. The profile ensures that the contact between teeth occurs along a line rather than at a point, enhancing efficiency and performance.


Interference in involute teeth in gears?

Interference in involute teeth in gears occurs when the teeth profiles unexpectedly collide, leading to jamming and inefficiencies. This can happen if the gear teeth are poorly designed or if the gears are not properly aligned. To avoid interference, ensure that the gear teeth profiles are designed correctly and that the gears are set up to avoid misalignment during operation.
