Cones Rolling Together Without Slipping: R R OP sinα sinα N N
These are cylinders rolling together in a pure rolling contact in which the shafts of these cylinders are
not parallel but two or more shafts that are connected which lie in the same plane and make some angle with
each other.
=+
= angle between axes
Velocity A = 2RANA
Velocity B = 2RBNB
Therefore,

Therefore, the angular speeds of two cones rolling together without slipping are inversely proportional as the
sines of the angles
Cone angles:
To calculate the cone angles, the angle between the axes and the speed ratio must be known.

Since the direction of each cone has changed, speed ratio for internal pure rolling contact is still the
same with the speed ratio for an external pure rolling contact
