A practical application of the spherical involute surface to the forged straight bevel gears is provided and demonstrated in this work. Conjugate (pure involute) theoretical surfaces are developed from the input design parameters. The surfaces are modified to suit the actual application (automotive differential). The unloaded (or low load) tooth contact analysis of modified surfaces is performe...

Formany years the transmission industry has had a major impact on the design of mechanical parts. In addition to geometric quality of the forging process, netshaped bevel gears ofer new ways to decrease cots and to increase mechanical properties. This paper deals with the dificulty in applying classical quality inspection to forged bevel gears. We developed a new approach based on entities and ...
