Abstract


Common methods of checking a gear that have been designed in reverse engineering are, for example, measurement with a modular caliper or disc micrometer. However, although these methods are among the most accurate, they allow only one or a few of the selected geometric parameters to be measured. The paper presents alternative methods of verification of the reconstructed outline of a very non-standard involute gear with the parameters m = 4.98, α = 26.325 °, x = 0.0695, y = 0.795, c* = 0.383. These methods are less accurate than the classic ones, but they allow for a comprehensive check of the entire outline of the reconstructed tooth. They are often used in industrial practice. However, here, in addition to the methodology, a short tolerance analysis was also carried out, which may to some extent compensate for the aforementioned measurement inaccuracy.
