DESIGN OF ANTIBACKLASH PIN-GEARING

The paper suggests that pin gearing can be used for an antibacklash ge ar. The gear tooth curve derived from a cycloidal curve furnishes the pin gearing with kinematic antibacklash, low pressure angle, and no in terference among other features. Pins on one side of a centerline are contacting the forward faces of a mating tooth gear. Simultaneously, p ins on the other side of the centerline are contacting the backward fa ces of the gear. The correct center distance can be maintained in this multiple-contact mechanism by applying a force directed to each other center. A generating method of tooth-gear manufacture is also suggest ed. Contact and bending deformations as well as the gear stress are an alyzed to help its design.
