What is the meshing clearance between gears?
1 Answers
Gear meshing clearance is generally 3ml~4ml. Below is relevant information: 1. Normal backlash: The shortest distance between non-working tooth surfaces when the working tooth surfaces of two gears are in contact. 2. Circumferential backlash: In a pair of meshing gears, when one gear is fixed, the maximum arc length of pitch circle that the other gear can rotate. 3. Meshing clearance: When a pair of meshing cycloidal gears and pin gears are in theoretical meshing position, the shortest distance measured between the cycloidal gear tooth profile and pin gear tooth profile along the connecting line between a pin tooth center and the node. 4. Tooth side clearance: The side clearance of gear teeth refers to the circumferential play of one gear when the other gear in an assembled gear pair is fixed, measured as arc length on the pitch circle.
