Tandprofilen
Tandprofilen, or the tooth profile, refers to the geometric contour of a gear tooth along the flank and tip that engages with a corresponding tooth on a mating gear. This profile, together with the tooth pitch and spacing, determines how gears mesh, transfer torque, and set the motion characteristics of the gear train.
The most widely used profile is the involute tooth profile, which provides smooth meshing and a near-constant
Key geometric concepts related to tandprofilen include the pitch circle, addendum (above the pitch line), dedendum
Manufacturing methods to realize a given tooth profile include hobbing, shaping, milling, and grinding, often followed
Applications for standardized tooth profiles are widespread, underpinning transmissions in machinery, automotive drivetrains, robotics, and many
