Gear Compatibility
Gear Compatibility
(OP)
Greetings:
Is a 10 module gear compatible with an American Standard Involute Stub tooth gear? Both gears have 20 degree pressure angles. I haven't had much luck finding information on 10 module gear profiles so I'm not sure if the two gears will fit properly. Thanks.

It will work at very low speed if you mesh outside the line of action and you do not mind bumpy action.

In theory it might be possible to get a set of gears to "mesh" with one having a 2.5DP/20degPA and the other having a 3.0DP/20degPA. However, depending upon the tooth counts, it would probably require some extreme amounts of profile shift, tip relief, CTT reduction (backlash), etc. The resulting geometry would also likely produce lots of contact sliding and would be very noisy, inefficient, and prone to scoring failure.
Maybe you would be kind enough to explain why you need to use this combination of gears?

a comparison? These might operate with expanded backlash and
at low speeds.

We have a standard pinion gear that we use with geared bearings. On the project I'm working on, we are using a different bearing (with a module 10 profile), which is why the gear profile is an issue. I passed this information along to our machinist and we are now using a module 10 pinion gear instead of our standard.
