Designing irregular gears via splines

Authors:   Adam Marlewski, Piotr Krawiec

Abstract

To construct a new machine, to improve the existing one or to reconstruct the worn up, damaged machine/tool, we need its theoretical model, in both functional and material issues, and the means to produce its final form. Contemporarily, there are used computers in all the stages of the production process, as well as in so-called inverse tasks, when we want to reconstruct (the parts of) machines. It demands still more and more precise mathematical description. In this paper we discuss such description via spline curves (composed of third degree polynomial arcs represented parametrically) and we apply it to gears/pulleys of non- typical irregular profiles.
