Questions on pinion runout

Questions on pinion runout

Questions on pinion runout

(OP)
Runout questions on pinion:

1.No matter the perpendicularity or runout callout, the reference datum is B-A on the pinion print (page 1), however the reference datum on the assembly drawing (page 2) is A-B, are there any differences between them (A-B and B-A)?
2.What is the meaning of runout callout on a wire size Ø.0864?
3.The bench center is around $700, it’s very expensive, I am trying to save the money, are there any other open-setup ways to measure the perpendicularity or runout?

Thanks for all your comments

RE: Questions on pinion runout

1) B-A is the same as A-B; there is no precedence / priority between the two, and are in fact the exact same.
2) They are trying to verify that the opposed tooth valleys are symmetrical (high school symmetry); i.e. they average out at Datum C.
3) Set the piece up on a lathe / turning centre. You might also be able to find a commercial runout stand that you can just put a pair of conical mandrels in instead of collets.
Btw, you don't actually have a Datum A or a Datum B callout, just two boxes with letters in them. Put the anchor triangle on the angle dimension line.

Ad 2) This looks like standard method of gear runout verification with the use of cylinders contacting the gear at its pitch diameter.

RE: Questions on pinion runout

I think that is an 'mt' not 'm+'. From the context it looks like it is meant to be an abbreviation for 'measurement', though I have never seen it abbreviated this way.

RE: Questions on pinion runout

I do not have access to ISO standards on allowable deviations of gear parameters (e.g. ISO 1328-1 & ISO/TR 10064-2), but looking to a handbook I have, it is just written that:
- balls or cylinders of precisely calculated diameter can be used in inspection of gear runout error (thus runout FCF). There is however a mathematic relation between runout and pitch diameter error, so knowing one makes possible to calculate the second;
- the same balls or cylinders can be used in controlling tooth thickness by determining "dimension over balls or cylinders" (thus mt parameter, I believe).

Thanks for your comments, Dan and pmarc.

I am figuring out how to measure the gear runout, pmarc, would you mind tell more details about the mathematic relation between runout and pitch diameter error. Thanks

SeasonLee,
Not sure whether this isn't against the rules of the forum, but here is a document you may be interested in.

The relation is pictured in Figure 11 of the doc.

Thanks, pmarc. Excellent.
