EXAMPLE 3: „LINE“CONTACT PATTERN
The contact pattern on the convex and
concave flank is too close to the top.
The contact pattern is too
small and is not tangent to the middle of tooth.
An adjustment is necessary!
Adjustment: Install thicker pinion shaft!
The convex contact pattern must be tangent to the
middle of tooth.
A minimum of 50% of the tooth depth (flank) is covered.
The contact pattern in this example is still acceptable but
not ideal.
However, the contact pattern should not be any closer to
the top.
An edge on the root of the tooth caused by the shot-peening
process is allowed (see adjacent Figure).
