Swing Motion For Manufacturing Non-Generated Bevel Gears With End Relief
Patent No. EP3003625 (titled "Swing Motion For Manufacturing Non-Generated Bevel Gears With End Relief") was filed by The Gleason Works on May 29, 2014. The application was issued on Feb 27, 2019.
Patent Summary
A method for providing end relief to non-generated bevel gears during the manufacturing process, enabling the creation of a smooth connection between the main flank and end relief. The method involves calculating a set of motions that superimpose form-rolling settings onto the non-generated process, allowing for independent end relief on the convex and concave flanks while avoiding secondary flank contact. The swing axis is determined from the profile tangent vectors in the center of the relief section, enabling precise control over the relief shape and magnitude.
