making a gear segment from a drawing from long, long ago
making a gear segment from a drawing from long, long ago
(OP)
A customer needs a new segment gear for a device designed in the 30s and 40s, and built in the 1970s.
Attached is an image showing the OEM drawings for the gear and worm.
A local shop said could make the gear if they had a step or dxf file of the parts.
Is it possible a "real" gear shop be able to work with the gear descriptions/dimensions directly?
thanks,

First thing to work out is if you're working with a throated gear or a spur/helical gear.

yep. very similar, but a Different part. Did Google squeal on me?
I think it may be the same shop this time, because I think I heard 3rd hand that they thought they'd made one (somehow) for us before, but realized this one is different, so are looking for cad info.

I'm sorry I did not check deeper. The reported 3rd hand story that they thought they'd made a segment (somehow) for us before, but realized this one is different, must have a different interpretation than the one I assumed.
