...Alessio Artoni; Marco Gabiccini; Massimo Guiggiani; Ahmet Kahraman Microgeometry optimization has become an important phase of gear design that can remarkably enhance gear performance. For spiral bevel and hypoid gears, microgeometry is typically represented by ease-off topography. The optimal ease...

..., clearance will be provided towards the heel or toe end of the tooth. Similarly, length crowning can be generated by tilting the face cutter head around the flank line tangent and by a corresponding change of the blade angles. The so-called Ease-Off represents the interaction between pinion and gear roll...
