Methods of Synthesis and Analysis for Hypoid Gear-Drives of “Formate” and “Helixform”—Part 2. Machine Setting Calculations for the Pinions of Formate and Helixform Gears

The second article part is devoted to the calculation of machine settings for Hypoid gear-drive pinions being generated by “Formate” and “Helixform” cutting methods. The solution is based on a local synthesis method by following assumptions: (1) the member-gear surface_Σ2 is given (the surface _Σ2 becomes known after the determination of its machine settings, see article part 1): (2) the being obtained machine settings for the pinion must guarantee: (a) that the member-gear surface _Σ2 will be in contact with the pinion surface _Σ1 at a choosen point M, (b) that at M and in the vicinity of M prescribed conditions of meshing will be provided.
