Offset synchronisation
Offset synchronisation
(OP)
I am developing a data model for gears.
I have one question which I have been unable to answer using the source standards I am using...
What terminology and measurements are used to define the offset between an oriented drive (e.g. a keyed shaft) and the teeth?
I guess that you measure an angle between horizontal (as defined by the key) and a datum derived from the tooth geometry. What datum is used from the tooth geoemtry?
Thanks!

Could you please tell me the correct (or at least most widely used) terminology for this offset?

ie. helical gear. The helical gear operates more
quietly than a straight cut gear, but produces
lateral forces or 'thrust'.
