Spiral Bevel Gears

[kahlju]

I was wondering if anyone had some spiral bevel experience. I would like to know how to make my own spiral bevel gear in CATIA but I can't find any good resources. The problem comes with making the profile an involute profile. Any resources or hands on help would be appreciated. If someone has a CATIA powercopy available all the better.

And then the same for the Driving pinion gear. It'd be safe to assume I'm designing a differential. Although, it's a little more in depth than that.

Thank you,

There's a Catia forum

and a Gear and Pulley Engineering forum

depending on whether you are concerned about how to design the gear or just the CAD techniques to make a model of one.
