Gear Pair Comprising a Gear with a Surface Structure, Transmission Comprising Gear Pair, and Method for Producing a Gear

A method for producing a gearwheel for a gearwheel pair comprising:

• at least a first gearwheel with a microstructure;
• and
• a further gearwheel, wherein
• the first gearwheel includes first teeth with first tooth flanks,
• the further gearwheel includes further teeth with further tooth flanks, where a first tooth flank makes contact with a further tooth flank in an imaginary tangential plane which is tangent on the two tooth flanks at a contact point for transmission of power from the first gearwheel to the further gearwheel,
• addition of speeds of the two tooth flanks at the contact point results in a total speed in the tangential plane,
• the microstructure is configured as a depression on the first tooth flank and runs at least in sections along a structuring line on the first tooth flank,
• a structure tangent which lies in the tangential plane is tangent on the structuring line at the contact point, and
• the structure tangent and the total speed enclose an angle y, and the angle y is selected from a range which is greater than 25° and less than or equal to 90°, the method comprising the acts of:
• providing a gearwheel;
• and
• applying at least one microstructure, wherein the microstructure or the microstructures runs/run along the structuring line.
