Generation of spiral bevel gears with zero kinematical errors and computer aided simulation of their meshing and contactThere is proposed a method for generation of Gleason's spiral bevel gears which provides the following properties of meshing and contact: (1) the contact normal keeps its original direction within the neighborhood of the main contact point; (2) the contact ellipse moves along the gear tooth surface; and (3) the kinematical errors caused by Gleason's method of cutting are almost zero. Computer programs for the simulation of meshing and bearing contact are developed.
