10.1.3 Helical Gears
The chordal thickness of helical gears should be measured on the normal surface
basis as shown in Table 10-3. Table 10-4 presents the equations for chordal thickness of
helical gears in the radial system.
Table 10-3 Equations for Chordal Thickness of Helical Gears in the Normal System
Table 10-4 Equations for Chordal Thickness of Helical Gears in the Radial System
NOTE: Table 10-4 equations are also for the tooth profile of a Sunderland gear.
10.1.4 Bevel Gears
Table 10-5 shows the equations of chordal thickness for a Gleason straight bevel gear.
