Straight Cut Face Gears - A Half Decent Solution
G'day everyone,
A quick detour this week from what I initially had planned. On Friday I was tearing down my cassette player and instead of repairing it, I got side tracked on the AM/FM tuning mechanism. It was some type of face gear (crown gear?) and of all the gear types, it is one that I seem to know the least about. And one that I haven't thought about in ages.
It seemed to be (at least visually) a thin ring with gear teeth cut into it.
I have been looking at a way to transfer power at 90 degrees through gears for a while. Bevel and miter gears are on my list of things to tackle but I haven't gotten around to buying the cutters and getting around to learning the theory behind using them.
As an interim solution which could be made with basic spur gear cutters. I am attempting to make which seems to be called in a straight cut face gear. The aim is not to make a perfect set of gears, these are limited to lighter loads and position jobs, but it could be a great method which bridges the gap between spur gears and bevel gears.
That is the aim here and that is what I am going to try and figure out.
I hope you enjoy the video.
