    This document discusses methods for inspecting gears to identify quality issues. It describes three main inspection methods: double flank rolling tester, single flank rolling tester, and profile, lead and pitch tester. The double flank tester checks for composite errors like runout and tooth-to-tooth variation. The single flank tester simulates operating conditions. The profile, lead and pitch tester checks the gear tooth profile, helix deviation, and total pitch variation. Together these methods allow inspectors to thoroughly evaluate gears before use in industrial applications.

    Abstract : This paper presents the review of the current aspects of inspection metrology
    for checking gear parameter errors by using different methods of inspection Tester/
    instruments for getting good quality transmission gears.

    Methods of Gear Inspection : rolling action, and to detect nicks.

    a. Double Flank Rolling Tester : The


    composite test of a gear is a method of
    inspection in which the work gear is rolled in
    tight double flank contact with a master gear.
    The composite action test is made on an
    inspection instrument that will allow variation in
    the center distance during rolling. This variation
    in center distance will yield a tooth-to-tooth

    b. Single flank Rolling Tester : Single- probe on the test gear at the pitch circle
    Flank testing simulates the actual operating diameter and the “lead” is traced and recorded
    conditions of a gear pair. The mating gears roll graphically, with a correct unmodified helix

    Pitch or Index Inspection : Total pitch


    variation and total index variation are identical
    values and are generally referred to as
    “accumulated spacing.”

    Data from the encoders is processed in


    an instrument that shows the accuracy or
    smoothness of rotational motion resulting
    from the meshing gears. For both the Flanks
    we will get Tangential Composite Error (Fi’),
    Tangential tooth to tooth Composite Error
    (fi’), Cumulative working pitch error (Fp’),
    Individual working error (fp’)

    root to the tip of the gear tooth. The functional,
    or operating, portion of the profile is the area
    that is in actual contact during tooth mesh.
