Alignment Deviations on a Lead Crowned Helical Gear Manufactured by a Hob
Gear hobbing is well established and one of the most cost effective manufacturing methods of involute gears. In the hobbing of lead crown corrected helical gears, a well know drawback is the non-uniform systematic tooth alignment deviation that arises. This is sometimes denoted as flank twist. The inevitable tooth alignment deviation, together with other source deviations, must not exceed the spec
