Hello, all!

As was mentioned above I am indeed hard at work on the next version of Gearify. I just released a 20ish minute video/talk on the status of the upcoming product.

Hope you all will check it out!

Looks good. Looks very similar as to how Gearotic does it, a digital subtraction where the involute evolves from the instantaneous rate of change during its construction?


Right now, these curves are generated without any subtraction at all, just solving differential equations numerically in 2 ...

Hello!

Some of you may be interested to know that Gearify is developing a new tool for the generation of involute teeth on arbitrary pitch curves.

I made an in depth mathematical analysis to understand how the constraints and degrees ...

I think I'm not communicating what I am trying to say properly. I do understand composition of continuous functions is continuous. I think we're talking about two different things but I'm not sure where our disconnect is yet.

Let's say that P(t) is the point of contact between the roll lines at time t. The line of action (as you defined it) passes through P(t), and is oriented based on the pressure angle.

Suppose the pitch point begins contact at time t0 and moves smoothly along the line of action until the next tooth ...

"so the roll line tangent line can somtimes also work."

Sounds like this could potentially be a user option! :D

I do wonder how the distortions would appear when the roll-tangent line is significantly off-normal to the center-to-center line...

Here is another question.

We can define the ...

Nate,

"Now, to build involute tooth profiles from this action we need to pick some way to determine tooth phase, and a pressure line."

Wow. This is essentially what I had in mind, only I was of the opinion that "picking" my own pressure line and tooth phase would not constitute something I could ...

Hello All!

This is Michael Valle, and I am the creator of Gearify. I have been enjoying this discussion and I wanted to add some comments.

I want to begin by saying that I appreciate ArtF's perspective of Gearify and Gearotic being complimentary rather than rivals/competitors. I think his analysis ...
