ABSTRACT:
Noise can be effectively reduced without rotative power transmission accuracy being compromised.In a tooth2of a resin gear1, a tooth face that is a predetermined area from a tooth crest8towards a tooth root10side serves as a tooth profile modification area11. A tooth surface excluding the tooth profile modification area11serves as an involute profile area12. The tooth profile modification area11includes a linear standard profile portion14formed by an involute curved line from the tooth crest8of the tooth towards the tooth root10side and a profile modification portion16in which a tooth thickness gradually and smoothly decreases from the standard profile portion14along a tooth width direction and the tooth thickness gradually and smoothly decreases from a tooth root end side15towards the tooth crest8. In the tooth profile modification area11, a contacting section becomes elastically deformed as a result of the resin gear coming into contact with a meshing mating gear. A tooth width direction length of the contact surface gradually increases from a minute, point-like width to a full tooth width from the tooth crest8side towards the tooth root10side.
