    The tooth profile most commonly used in gear drives for power transmission is an involute profile. An involute profile has several advantages over other profiles like a cycloid, including simplicity of manufacture, constant pressure angle throughout engagement for smooth running, and less sensitivity to variations in center distance.

    Solution

    Explanation:

    Forms of teeth:

    Two curves of any shape that fulfil the law of gearing can be used as the profiles of teeth i.e. an arbitrary shape of one of the mating
    teeth can be taken and applying the law of gearing the shape of the other can be determined. Such gear is said to have conjugate teeth.

    Teeth that satisfy the law of gearing are:

    1. Cycloidal profile teeth.


    2. Involute profile teeth.

    The Involute profile of teeth is preferred over the cycloidal profile of teeth because of the benefits we have in Involute teeth as
    compared to Cycloidal profile as mentioned in the given table.

    An involute is defined as the locus of a

    It involves a double curve for the teeth, It involves a single curve for the teeth
