In contrast with ordinary gear tooth forms, the Amerigear Fully-Crowned Tooth represents the ultimate achieve- ment in the art of gear tooth design, wherein all three working portions of the {ooth are crowned. As a result, the teeth ‘act much like a rocking chair, capable of sliding freely in the axial direction ‘without digging or gouging the internat mating teeth, Because of this design advantage, Amerigear Flexible Couplings with Fully-Crowned Gear Teeth offer ‘operational benefits of maximum load= ‘aartying capacity with minimum size, ‘maximum reliability and long ie, Amerigear ... often copied, but never equaled. A © Crowned Flanks Flanks of the teeth are ‘crowned so that tooth thickness is. ‘Greatest at the canter of the tooth. This assures larger conlact area per tooth for higher torque requirements and puts more teeth in contact for a given angle. ‘Actual tooth loading takes place near the ‘center of the tooth face wire tooth thickness is greatest. Crowned flanks also eliminate end-of-tooth loading, provide optimum load distribution, and accommodate al types of misalignment with minimum backlash, while trans- mifting constant velocity. This design provides good oil film characteristics for cfficient lubrication ‘Crowned Tipe Tips of teeth are crowned with a radius equal to the outside of the ‘gear element. The crowned tip contacts, the root of internal gear teeth in the external sleeve, accurately piloting the sleeve with true concentric ball-and- socket action. This permits minimum diametral sleeve clearance and contors the sleeve physically to assure good ‘dynamic balance characteristics under various loading and misalignment conditions. 2997 Aris Iematonal Rog T MUS. Pa a EM OF, Crowned Chamters Faces of the teetn adjacent to the tps are chamfered to ‘eliminate interference with tho sleeve tooth fillets. Ths allows the true involute 4lanks of the gear teeth to be in contact ‘with the slaeve teeth and assures. freedom to misalign, In accordance with our established policy to constantly improve our products, the specifications contained herein are subject to change without roliceTable of Contents Page ‘Amerigear Design Advantages. ..... cere 145 ‘Amerigear Ordering Information =...
