20、following British Standards: BS 978, Fine pitch gears. BS 978-2, Cycloidal type gears. BS 978-PD 3376, Addendum No. 1 to BS 978-2, Double circular arc type gears. BS 978-3, Bevel gears. BS 978-5, Hobs and cutters. First published in1952 and revised in1962, this British Standard has been further revi

21、sed under the authority of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Standards Committee. In the1962 edition, dual flank composite testing was introduced in the form of an appendix to the specification. As this method of test became more widespread, users of the standard were becoming confused between the

22、 application of the composite tolerances and application of the individual elemental tolerances. The prime reason for revision, therefore, has been to give dual flank testing the importance it now deserves by placing it in the mandatory part of the standard as the main accuracy testing procedure. Al

23、so care has been taken to ensure that the user is not misled by attempting to reconcile composite errors with elemental errors. It is necessary to retain the elemental tolerances because these will continue to be used in some fields as acceptance criteria and because they are essential as the basis

24、for manufacturing gears and cutting tools 1) . Recognizing also that single flank testing is used reference to this is made in an appendix. Opportunity has been taken to effect improvements in presentation and in the examples of calculations, and the terminology and notation is in accordance with th

25、at agreed within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standard is a companion work to BS978, “Fine pitch gears”, Part2,“Cycloidal type gears” (including addendum PD3376, “Double circular arc type gears”), Part 3, “Bevel gears”, and Part 5, “Hobs and cutters”. A British Stan

26、dard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover,

Examples of application are: Class A. Astronomical apparatus and scientific instruments; colour printin

29、g machinery; control systems (when multiple trains of gears are involved this grade would generally be used for low speed components where the effect of positional accuracy is important). Class B. Navigational instruments; high speed components of control systems where quietness and smooth running a

30、re essential; machine tool speed control; photographic instruments. Class C. General purpose instruments; accounting and calculating machinery; counters; clockwork mechanisms. Class D. Textile machinery; switch operating gear; clockwork mechanisms where accuracy is not the primary consideration. It

31、is recommended that all spur, helical and crossed helical gears for use in horology should be produced to this British Standard with the possible exception of gears for weight or spring-driven mechanisms in which the pinion is the driven member and has12 or fewer teeth. In such cases it may be prefe

32、rable to use gears conforming to BS978-2 2) . 1.2 Terminology and notation As the first step towards achieving international understanding of gears terminology, the terms and definitions of Draft ISO Recommendation No.888 3) , “International vocabulary of gears”, have been applied, together with cor

33、responding notation derived from Draft ISO Recommendation No.889, “International gear notation, symbols for geometrical data” 3) .

41、 example, in clockwork mechanisms. When non-topping hobs are used it is permissible to use a hob conforming toFigure 1 basic rack and to cut at greater depth than normal to obtain the required tooth thickness. For internal gears (Figure 1 andFigure 2 basic racks) the addendum shall normally be0.850

42、instead of1.000. In cases when the tips of the teeth have a radius of0.25 or greater (up to0.3max. as shown) the1.000 addendum may be applied. 2 Design details 2.1 Outside diameter and centre distance For the normal case when both z 1sec 3 “ and z 2sec 3 “ are greater than17 the dimensions are as fo

44、ulae: This gives values in accordance with the lower limiting line XX inFigure 3 and a small and normally negligible amount of undercutting is thereby permitted. The addendum modification coefficient for helical pinions from6 to16 teeth and helix angles up to45 is shown inFigure 4. 2.2.3 When the pi

45、nion is modified as above and there are no other limitations, the wheel is unmodified and its dimensions are obtained from the formulae in2.1; but the dimensions of the pinion and centre distance are as follows: Parallel axis external gear pairs designed as above have backlash at this centre distanc

Table 2 is not applicable to helical gears, for which the formulae in Appendix A are required. Alternatively, spur pinions enlarged according toTable 2 or helical pinions enlarged according toFigur
