Abstract
The invention relates to a tooth coupling, in which the toothing is a face gear toothing. The special shape of the face gear teeth achieves the effect where the active tooth flank portions of the face gear toothing always lie against one another, with the result that the permissible loading and the alignment are improved. The invention also relates to a method for making the coupling toothing with a hob, a negative width curvature being formed in the toothing, with the result that the contact pressure is lower. The inventive method is easy to use on a universal gear cutting machine.
Claims7
A tooth coupling for coupling the rotation of two shafts which lie in line with one another, comprising two coupling halves, each having a toothing which is directed towards the other coupling half and can mesh with the other toothing, which toothing is a face gear toothing, the active tooth flank portions of which are derived from a cylindrical pinion with involute toothing, and are delimited at the bottom by a transition to a root fillet and at the top are delimited by a tooth tip, the toothing having a central plane which is parallel to the tooth root of the toothing and is tangent on a line (B) of the tooth flank which has an equal distance from the center of a tooth and an adjoining tooth space, the tooth tip being designed such that for each radius of the toothing the distance (a) from the tooth tip to the central plane is less than the distance (b) from the central plane to the transition between the tooth flank and the root fillet.
A method for making the toothing for a coupling half of a tooth coupling by machining the coupling half with a hob in a gear cutting machine, the hob being suitable for machining face gears and the workpiece being machined by moving the hob substantially at right angles to the toothing during machining.
A method for making the toothing for a coupling half of a tooth coupling by machining the coupling half with a hob in a gear cutting machine, the workpiece being machined by moving the hob along the workpiece in the direction of the toothing, the hob being suitable for machining face gears and during machining in the tooth direction is successively moved towards and away from the workpiece in order to form a negative width curvature.
