FOREWORD
For many years there was a growing desire for a national standard for engineering drawings, and
backasDecember1914ASMEapprovedandpublishedthereportofitsCommitteeonStandardsfor
Cross-Sections.
as far
The subject of standard practice

waslaid before the ASME Standardization Committee in April 1925
and in May the ASME Council voted to approve the recommendation.of the Committee that the American
Standards Association be requested to authorize the organization of a nationally representative committee
under its procedures t o develop standards for drawings and drafting room practice. This recommendation
was considered favorably and a preliminary conference was called by the ASA for October 14, 1925, and a
general conference for December 4, 1925.
At the meeting of the ASA Standards Council, December 1925, the project
was finally approved, its
scope was outlined, and the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education and the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers were designated as joint sponsors. The organization meeting of the sectional committee was held September 24, 1926, at which Dean Franklin deR. Furman
was elected chairman. Subsequently six subcommittees were appointed. These subcommittees undertook the formulation of tentative
drafts of the several sections of the final report which were distributed for criticism and comment.
--`,`,`,`,,,`,,```,,,`````,,,,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
In the spring of 1931 an Editing Committee, Dr. Thomas E. French, Chairman, combined and harmonized the final reports of the several subcommittees. The proposed standard was approved by the sectional
committeeand was subsequentlyapprovedbythesponsorsocietiesandtransmittedtotheAmerican
Standards Association for approval and designation as an American Standard, a status which was granted in
May, 1935.
The sectional committee authorized the revision of the American Standard in December, 1940, and the
Subcommittee on Revisionwas appointed in September, 1941. A draft dated August, 1944
received the
approval of the sectional committee. The proposal was subsequently submitted to the sponsors and to the
American Standards Association for their approval. This approval with designation as an American Standard
was received on April 12, 1946.
In 1948, the scope of the projectwas enlarged, and a revision was begun in view of the increased drafting
standardization work in Great Britain and Canada. An Executive Committee was formed in 1949 to supervise the work. It was decided t o publish the eventual revision in separate sections. Upon completion and
sectional committee approval of the last of the first six sections, they were sentto sponsors and to ASA for
approval.Succeedingsections, as approved by the sectional committee were subsequently submitted to
sponsors and ASA.
A section, Gears, Splines and Serrations, Y14.7,
on April 8,1958.
was approved and published as an American Standard
Recognizing the need for a universal gear drafting standard, a COR Committeewas organized, in December 1961, for the purpose of coordinating the
views of the SAE, Y14, the Military and the AGMA on a
drafting standard for gears which could provide a fundamental document for wide national use of all interested parties.
It was recommended by the SAE Drawing Standards Committee and concurred in by the members of
the COR committee that this section be divided into parts with Part 1 covering spur, helical, double-helical,
and rack gears, Part 2 covering bevel and hypoid gears, Part 3 covering crossed helical gears, worm gears,
Spiroid and Helicon gears, and Part 4 covering splines.
After eight meetings, the COR Committee was incorporated into Subcommittee7 of Standards Committee Y14. Many drafts were circulated among the members of AGMA, AOA, SAE, Y14 and the Military for
suggestions and criticisms.

During this time the American Standards Association became the United States of America Standards
Institute and,. as of October 6, 1969, the American National Standards Institute, Inc. In addition, the
Society of Automotive Engineers became a cosponsor, along with the ASEE and the ASME of all Y14
Drafting Practices.
Part1 was designated an American National Standardon November 1,1971. This section covering
Part 2 received the approval of the Y14 Standards Committee and was subsequently approved by the sponsor societies and submitted to the American National Standards Institute. It was designated an American
National Standard on 17 January, 1978.

outer half of t.he teeth are inclined in a counterclockwise direction; a right-hand spiral is one in which the
outer half of the teeth are inclined in a clockwise direction. See Figure 15. With the exception of a few
relatively rare hypoid gear designs, a gear and mating
pinion have opposite hands ofspiral.
5.16 Depthwise Tooth Taper. The difference in

tooth depth at the inner and outer ends of the teeth.
Standard depthwise tooth taper refers to gears in
which the tooth depth is pro[. rtirnal to the distance
from the pitch apex. Zero
depthwise taper refers to
teeth with constant depth. Frequently
conical gears
are designed with tilted root lines.This generally
refers to a depthwise tooth taper which is deeper at
the outer end of the tooth and shallower at the inner
end of the tooth than that
resulting fromstandard
taper. Tilting the root lines is done to improve the
point width of the cutting tools.
5.13 HypoidPinionOffset.
The perpendicular distance between the axes of a hypoid gear set. Hypoid
gears and pinions, in Figure 15(a) and (b) are referred
to as having ,a pinionoffset below center, while
those in Figure 15(c).and (d) have apinionoffset
above center. The direction of pinion offset is determined where viewing the face of the gear with the
pinion at the r:ight.
5.17 Clearance. The space between the top land of
the tooth of one gear and the root land of the mating
gear. See Figures 11 and 12.
5.14 Direction of Rotation. The direction of rotation
is determined where viewing the gear or pinion from

its back. The direction of rotation of gear and mating
pinionare either clockwise or counterclockwise and
always opposite to each other.
5.18 Backlash. The space between mating tooth sur-
faces. For purposes of measurement and calculation,

backlash is the amount by which the width of a tooth
space exceeds the thickness of an engaging tooth.
Numerical values of backlash on bevel andhypoid
gears are measured at the tightest
point of mesh on
the pitch circle at the outer end
of the tooth with
gears assembled at their specified mounting distances.
See Figure 12. Unless otherwisespecified, the term
backlash denotes normalbacklash; that is, backlash
measured in a direction perpendicular tothetooth
surface.
5.15 Tooth Form. The shape of thetooth profile.

Since bevel and hypoid gears are manufactured with a
variety of tooth forms, it is essential to specify the
desired form on the gear drawing.
5.15.1 Generated. A toothform where both members have tooth profilesproducedwitha
relative
motion between thecuttingtool
and the workin
addition to the: cutting action.
5.15.2. Non-Generated. A tooth form where the gear
tooth profile is produced without a generating motion
between the wtting tool and the work. The mating
pinion must be: generated.
5.15.3 CONIFLEXO. A trade name applied to generated straight bevel gears whose teeth have lengthwise
crowning.
5.15.4 REVACYCLEO. A trade nameapplied
to
straight bevel gears produced with circular arc tooth
profiles.
5.15.5 FORMATE@. A trade nameapplied to nongenerated spird and hypoid gears in which the tooth
profiles are straight. The matingpinions are generated
to be conjugate to the gears.
5.15.6 HELIX:FORM@. A trade name applied to
non-generated spiral bevel and hypoid gears in which
the tooth surfaces are helicoidal in form.
5.15.7 ZEROLO. A tradename
applied to spiral
bevel gears withzero spiral angle at some point
along the t o o ~ hlength.
5.18.1 BacklashTolerance.
The allowable variation
in the backlash measured at the tightest point o f mesh

among all pairs of gears of a given population as a
result oftooth size variation. Backlash tolerance is
used as a control of tooth size in production and is
specified on the drawing.
5.18.2 Backlash Variation. The differenceinbacklash between the tightest and loosest points of mesh
in one pair of gears as a result of runout, index variation, and profile variation.
5.18.3 Backlash VariationTolerance.The.allowable
variation in backlash in a single pair of gears. Backlash
variation tolerance is only specified if backlash variation is critical.
5.19 Circular Thickness. The length of arcbetween
thetwo sides of a gear toothonthepitch
