FCGear CrownGear/it

Descrizione
The crown wheel resembles a ring-shaped curved rack. The pressure angle decreases continuously from the outer to the inner diameter. Thus, the variable peripheral speed at the crown wheel is compensated against the constant peripheral speed of the pinion. The pointed outer teeth and the steep tooth flanks on the inner diameter limit the usable tooth width. Crown gears achieve similar efficiencies as spur gears. One crown gear can drive several pinions.

Known field of application of crown gears:


 * Rear axle drives for cars and motorcycles
 * Swivel mechanism for operating tables
 * Angular milling heads
 * Powered tool systems with multiple pinions and a crown gear



Usage

 * 1) Switch to the [[Image:FCGear_workbench_icon.svg|16px]] FCGear Workbench.
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 3) * Press the button in the toolbar.
 * 4) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 5) The crown gear is displayed without teeth by default.
 * 6) Change the gear parameters to the required conditions (see Properties).
 * 7) Set the  property to  to display the teeth (see Notes).

Properties
An FCGear CrownGear object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

 * : Default is.


 * : Default is . Value for the tooth width.
 * : Default is . Module is the ratio of the reference diameter of the gear divided by the number of teeth (see Notes).
 * : Default is . Number of teeth of the construction gear (pinion) (see Notes).
 * : Default is . Number of teeth.
 * : Default is . Height from the tip of tooth to the lower side of the crown wheel.


 * : Default is (see Notes).
