It also explains and illustrates the general concept of thebasic rack. It contains a description, with equations and sample calculations, of how th
9、e proportions of a spur orhelical gear may be derived from the design tooth thickness and the basic rack data. These equations andcalculations use traditional AGMA symbols and inch units. In several annexes, there are discussions of pos-sible variations from this basic rack and also a procedure for

16、rd, footnotes, and annexes are provided for informational purposes only andshould not be construed as a part of ANSI/AGMA 1006-A97, Tooth Proportions for PlasticGears.AGMA has issued standards for gear tooth proportions over a period of many years. Themost recent versions have been AGMA 201.02 (with
17、drawn 1995), Tooth Proportions forCoarse-Pitch Involute Spur Gears, and ANSI/AGMA 1003-G93, Tooth Proportions forFine-Pitch Involute Spur and Helical Gears. These standards and their predecessors wereprepared in response to the need to standardize gear generating cutting tools such as hobsand shaper
18、 cutters. Without such standards, the variety of tools needed by gear shopswould have become unlimited.The manufacture of gears by the molding process is not subject to the same practicalconstraints as manufacture by the gear cutting process. Every mold is inherently“non-standard”. The geometry of t
19、he mold cavity cannot follow a standard because ofvarying allowances for shrinkage. Furthermore, there are some methods for manufacturingthe mold cavity which do not depend on cutting tools and, even for those that do, specialtools are generally required. Thus, tooth proportions for molded plastic g
20、ears need notfollow those established for machined gears.Some of the special properties of plastic materials influence the selection of gear toothproportions as the two following examples illustrate:- The structure and orientation of plastic molecules, regardless of processing method,makes the stren
21、gths of the materials particularly sensitive to sharp internal corners. Asubstantially stronger tooth will result if sharp fillets at the base of the tooth are avoided.The tooth proportions for gears made according to the AGMA fine-pitch standard notedabove generally result in relatively sharp fille
22、ts.- In certain applications, the higher expansion properties of plastic materials maycreate the need for a greater depth of engagement between mating gears than permittedby the other standard tooth forms.As a result of this preference for a different tooth form, members of the plastic gear moldingi
23、ndustry have adopted their own individual sets of tooth proportions. One set that has gainedwide usage by plastic gear designers, and is often specified in place of the AGMAFine-Pitch Standard, has been developed by William McKinley 1. Because these toothforms contain the preferential features for m
24、olded plastic gears and because they arealready well recognized in the industry, they were used, with some changes, as models inthe preparation of this standard. The first of the four variations in this set has a depth ofengagement, or working depth, that is the same as in the above mentioned AGMAst
25、andards. The other three have increased depths of engagement in varying degrees. Thisstandard has selected only the first variation, which is the one in widest use, as the model forthe new tooth proportions. However, data similarly based on the other three variations areincluded in annex B.The tooth
26、 forms in this standard are defined with the use of the basic rack concept. For thosethat might be unfamiliar with this concept, a detailed description of the basic rack is includedas annex A.Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome.

34、L STANDARD33 Tooth proportions and basic rackIt is general practice to establish a system of toothproportions by defining a basic rack. The actualtooth outline for a gear with a specified number ofteeth and value of tooth thickness will be generallydetermined by the generating action of this rack-sh
35、aped outline. (Some features of the tooth outlinemay be determined by additional considerations.See 5.8.1, 5.8.2 and 5.8.3.) A description of thisbasic rack concept and how it is applied to varioustypes of gears is given in annex A.4 Standard basic rack for plastic gearsA standard basic rack is esta
36、blished in this AGMAstandard. Plastic gears with tooth forms defined bythis basic rack will mesh properly with both AGMAfine-pitch and ISO coarse-pitch gears. (Threeexperimental basic racks with greater workingdepths are defined in annex B.)NOTE: This basic rack is an optional alternative toother AG
37、MA basic racks. It will often be preferred forthose applications in which tooth bending strength is amajor factor in the design of plastic gears. See 4.4.4.1 DesignationsThis basic rack is designated as:AGMA Plastic Gearing Toothform, abbreviatedas: AGMA PT.4.2 ProportionsThe basic rack is shown in
38、figure 1. The figureidentifies all the features described in A.2. Values ofthe dimensional features are listed in table 2 alongwith comparative values for the AGMA fine-pitchstandard and the ISO mostly coarse-pitch standard.All of these values are referenced to unit pitch.Actual values are found by

In actualpractice, the corner is made with a small radius.”4)bFBRis the distance from
44、pitch line to start of fillet radius.4.3 Optional modificationsCertain modifications may be made to these basicracks without deviating from their essential charac-ter. When any such change is desired, a descriptionin an appropriate form must be included in the gearspecifications.4.3.1 Profile modifi
45、cationIt is sometimes desirable to make slight modifica-tions to the involute profile of the gear. One suchexample is tip relief. This is the removal of a smallsliver of material along a portion of the involuteleading to the tooth tip. Tip relief will often benefitgear action by reducing the abrupt
46、action accompa-nying load transfer between adjoining teeth,especially when the teeth are deflecting under aheavy load. Such modification to the tooth profilecan be introduced by an appropriate modification tothe straight-sided flank of the basic rack tooth.When this is desired, a drawing of the modi
47、fied basicrack is required as part of the gear specifications. Anexample of such a modification applied to the AGMAPT tooth form is shown in figure 2. Annex D providesequations for calculating the effect of thismodification on certain features of the generatedtooth.4.3.2 Tooth- tip diameter modifica
48、tionIt is sometimes necessary to change the outsidediameter of external gears or the inside diameter ofinternal gears from the diameters defined by thebasic rack. Some of these considerations arediscussed in 5.8.1 and annex C. Such adjustmentsdo not significantly depart from the standard basicrack a
49、nd do not require a special basic rack drawingshowing the modification. The specification of theoutside or inside diameter is, by itself, sufficient todefine the modification.4.4 Comparison to other AGMA basic racksThis new basic rack is similar to the other listedAGMA basic racks. Gears derived from all of themwill generally operate together. However, there aredifferences which, for the new basic rack, may resultin plastic gear designs of enhanced load capacityand, particularly in the case of molded plastic gears,also of greater accuracy
