    This document provides a 5-step procedure for creating a blank drawing for bevel gears from design parameters in a dimension sheet. It begins by locating the cone apexes, face angle, root angle, and pitch angle using values from the dimension sheet. It then draws the outer cone distance and face width to define the tooth boundaries. Finally, it fits all the lines and defines the mounting distance to complete the blank drawing. The procedure is demonstrated through figures and can be used by design engineers to generate accurate blank drawings for bevel gear manufacturing and inspection.

    Bevel Gear Blank Drawing Procedure

    Dr. Hermann J. Stadtfeld

    With this first installment — “Bevel Gear Blank


    Drawing Procedure” — we begin a series of ran-
    domly excerpted chapters from Dr. Hermann
    J. Stadtfeld’s new book — Practical Gear
    Engineering. The foreword, found on p. 60, will
    tell you everything you need to know about it,
    i.e. — what it’s about, why it was written, and
    where you can buy it.

    How to Create a Correct Blank Drawing


    In the following sections, a five step procedure
    is presented, which can be helpful for Design
    Engineers in the generation of a customary blank
    drawings for bevel pinions and ring gears. In many
    cases, the missing background information results
    in drawings which show the members of a bevel
    gearset from the view point of the transmission
    designer, however they often fail to include several
    information which are required for cutting, grind-
    ing and coordinate measurement of pinions and Figure 1 Second page of Dimension Sheet with cone angles and apexes.
    gears.

    The Bevel Gear Dimension Sheet


    The Dimension Sheet of a Gleason bevel gear
    design includes all required design parameters.
    Gleason defines as the origin of pinion and gear
    blank the crossing point of the axes of both mat-
    ing members. The crossing point generally doesn’t
    match any of the cone apex points. However, the
    crossing point is the most important reference
    point for all calculations, for the manufacturing
    and the CMM inspection.
    In order to define the axial location of the
    turned blank relative to the crossing point it is
    important to define an axial location datum. The
    distance in axial direction from this datum to the
    crossing point is called the “Mounting Distance”.
    The mounting distance is required for the manu-
    facturing machine because the CNC has to relate Figure 2 First of Dimension Sheet with outer cone distances and face widths.
    the tool position to the crossing point. The step by
    step guidance in the following section begins with
    a coordinate origin, located at the crossing point
    on the axis of each member.
    There are five major design steps which each
    require two numbers from the Dimension Sheet.
    The two connected numbers for one step have the
    same color in Figures 1 & 2. The Dimension Sheet
    numbers marked 1 through 6 in Figure 1 locate
    the cone apexes relative to the crossing point. The
    numbers marked 7 and 8 in Figure 2 locate the
    inner and the outer boundary of the tooth.

    Step-by-Step Explanations to Create a


    Blank Drawing
    Begin the CAD drawing with a horizontal pin-
    ion axis and a vertical gear axis as shown in
    Figure 3. The crossing point is in the center of
    the screen. According to the value and the sign in
    the Dimension Sheet (Figure 1, item 1), mark the
    “Face Apex Beyond Crossing Point” of the gear at
    -6.19 mm (negative direction). Then draw the face
    cone line starting at the Face Apex point with an
    angle of 74.53° relative to the lower, negative part
    of the gear axis (Face Angle of Blank, item2).
    Now mark the “Root Apex Beyond Crossing
    Point” at -6.21 mm (item 3) as shown in Figure 4.
    Figure 3 Draw face cone line. Then draw the root cone line starting at the Root
    Apex point with an angle of 67.88° versus the
    lower, negative part of the gear axis (Root Angle,
    item 4).
    The next step is to draw the pitch line. The pitch
    line is not a required information in the blank
    drawing but it gives a more complete informa-
    tion about the bevel gear. Mark the “Pitch Apex
    Beyond Crossing Point” at -6.19 mm (item 5) as
    shown in Figure 5. Then draw the pitch cone line
    starting at the Pitch Apex point with an angle of
    73.55° versus the lower, negative part of the gear
    axis (Pitch Angle, item 6).
    In the following step, the Outer Cone Distance
    (Item 7 in Figure 2) is drawn along the pitch line

    the tooth heel border. The toe border is found by
    marking the Face Width (item 8 in Figure 2) from
    the outer cone distance towards the center of the
    gear (in direction of the pitch line), which marks
    the location of the tooth toe border.

    The last step is devoted to fit the tooth bound-
    aries together with face, pitch and root lines as
    well as the crossing point (labeled as such in the
    drawing) with the part of the blank dimensions
    which come from the gearbox design. The mount-
    ing shoulder of the ring gear (or the axial seating
    surface on a pinion shaft) is now used to define
    the mounting distance. The mounting distance as
    shown in Figure 7 is the distance from the crossing
    point to the mounting shoulder or seating surface
    of the bevel gear.
    The example in Figures 3 through 7 demon-
    strated the creation of a ring gear blank drawing.
    The pinion blank drawing is done in analogy to Figure 6 Draw outer cone distance and face width.

    pinion blank values are found in the Dimension
    Sheet in the column left to the gear values (see
    Figures 1 & 2).

    Summary
    After the first draft of a gearbox the major bound-
    ary conditions for drawing the correct pinion and
    gear blanks are given. This chapter explains where
    the additional bevel gear design related numbers
    can be found and how those numbers are used in
    5 easy steps in order to generate precise pinion and
    gear blank drawings, which include all required
    values for turning the blanks as well as for manu-
    facturing and measurement.
