ABSTRACT:
Prior art non-generated, tip-relieved spiral bevel gears had tip-relieved surfaces that were nonuniform from the toe to the heel thereof. The subject tip-relieved spiral bevel gear is adapted to be manufactured by a gear generating machine, and includes a plurality of modified gear teeth individually having a convex tooth face and a relatively uniform tip-relieved surface on the convex tooth face from the toe to the heel portion thereof substantially parallel to the face angle at the outer tip surface. A two-pass method of machining the modified gear teeth is described.
