GEARPAK can measure several common gear types, including involute cylindrical gears like spur and helical gears. It can measure these gears using both touch trigger and scanning measurement methods. Specifically, GEARPAK supports measuring involute cylindrical gears, worms, worm wheels, bevel gears, and hypoid gears. Certain gear types can only be measured using one measurement method over the other.

1 Involute gears GEARPAK can measure involute gears. The flank form of the gear has to be an involute. The term "involute" can be found on the drawing. If this term is not given some gear parameter can indicate that this is an involute gear. If a base diameter is given it can be assumed that it is an involute gear. Input the nominal gear geometry parameter (e.g. number of teeth, module/diametral pitch, pressure angle,…) given on the drawing into GEARPAK and compare the calculated value for base diameter and pitch diameter (= reference diameter) with the diameters on the drawing. If the diameters are identical to those on the drawing you can be sure that this is an involute gear.

3 Remarks 1. Cylindrical gear a. External and internal gears can be measured. b. Spur and helical gears can be measured. c. Spur gears can be measured in scanning and in touch trigger mode. d. Helical gears can be measured in scanning and in touch trigger mode. The scanning measurement can be performed with an indexable probe head (e.g. PH10Q) and SP25 or with rotary table (MRT). e. Cylindrical gears can be measured as complete gear or as segment (simple segment, specified by number of teeth of segment). f. Cylindrical gears with modification can be measured. 2. Worm a. Cylindrical worms can be measured. Enveloping worms can not be measured. b. The following worm types are supported: ZI, ZK, ZA, ZN. c. Cylindrical worms can be measured in scanning mode in combination with the MRT1.
2 bevel and hypoid gears from GLEASON can be measured; development is done by KDC Gr.5 2 of 2 Document v3.01 February 26, 2009
