GEAR : Line of Action/Pressure Angle


As you will remember from our introduction, a gear (no matter what type) is essentially a toothed wheel or cylinder that works in tandem with another gear (or gears) to transmit motion, or to change speed or direction. In a
spur gear, the teeth, which are on the outer surface of the cylinder, are straight and parallel to the hole (or axis) so when two come together – mesh – they do so in the same plane.

  1. why is that nowdays pressure angle in automobiles is around 20-22 degrees...as it was around 14.5 degrees in automobiles manugactured before???????????
    and why the pressure angle is decreased instead acc. to the theory it should hav increased ....as FORCE cos(angle)....iz responsible to transmit the force...?????
