Comparison of Various Types of Curves Cycloid and Involute by Practical Approach
Abstract
This paper covers the development of ‘involute’ gears. An involute gear is based on an involute curve, which is a mathematical shape. To understand what an involute is, consider a simple cylinder and a string as shown below. Wrap the string around the cylinder. While maintaining tension on the string, trace the path that the end of the string makes while un-wrapping it around the cylinder. This path is an involute curve.
