ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses a form of gearing that is radially preloaded and utilizes closely conforming teeth. The preloading ensures that the higher torque capacity of conformal teeth can be realized more fully than in fixed center gearing, and the conformal tooth profiles, if concave-convex, ensure that the amount of preload needed is minimized, since the effective pressure angle for such teeth diminishes as the transmitted torque increases.
