3D bevel gear prototype
3D bevel gear prototype
(OP)
I want to model (proe wildfire2) a small bevel gear and pinion accurately enough to make sla prototypes.
I have a summary sheet from Gleason for gear and pinion data.
If I define the involute, mirror it across the circ thickness can it be sweep along the root angle as a cut?
Also where along the face width is the circ thickness defined?

The pitch and pressure angle changes along the length of bevel gear teeth so I don't think you can "sweep along the root angle as a cut".
The Gleason system defines the circular thickness at the major diameter or crown. Klingenberg define the data half way along the tooth length.

I can create the solid models for you using gear software in either SAT or STEP or SW part or INV part.

But was looking to create it in pro so it can be modified into other gear geometry.
Guess I'll post this on the PTC form
Thank all for the replies did learn somethings
