The Space Curve Meshing Skew Gear Mechanism (SCMSGM) is an innovative gear mechanism proposed by the present authors. In this study, the contact ratio for the SCMSGM is deduced. By analyzing the eight influencing parameters on the contact ratio for the SCMSGM, the principal influencing parameters on the contact ratio for the SCMSGM are obtained. This study provides a theoretical basis to calculate and select the contact ratio for the SCMSGM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
