Gears are toothed members which transmit power / motion

between two shafts by meshing without any slip.

Pressure Angle:
It is the angle at a pitch point between the line of pressure which
13-Dec-13

is normal to the tooth surface, and the plane tangent to the pitch

surface.

Peaking effect:
It is the phenomenon in which the top land of gear becomes smaller with the increase in pressure angles and the tooth shape
13-Dec-13

becomes more and more pointed.

Advantages of Asymmetric Gears:

Contact stress reduction on the drive flanks Higher torque density (load capacity per gear size) Reduced Weight & Size Reduced Noise
13-Dec-13

Reduced Vibration

Disadvantage:
It can only be used for unidirectional power transmission Higher cost of production

CONCLUSION
Asymmetric

gears have better performance in terms of load

13-Dec-13

bearing capacity compared to symmetric gears

Tooth peaking effect and safe contact ratio limits the degree of asymmetry that can be achieved.

The bending stress in asymmetric gears decrease with the

increase in module The bending stress decreases with the increase in number of teeth of asymmetric gears
