Different teeth profile shapes of polymer gears and comparison of their performance

This article presents a lifespan testing analysis of polymer gears manufactured by cutting. Compared to injection molding, machine cutting provides higher accuracy of gear geometry. Two different tooth flank geometries were tested; i.e. involute and S-gears. In theory, S-gears have several advantage...
