Transverse teeth gear are exact indexing & locating elements having the function of self centering. They are widely utilized in machining center

flexible manufacturing system

CNC machine

combined machine tool

measuring instrument

high class intermittent circumferential indexing mechanism

multi working position locating device

as well as other exact registration device. The structural characteristics the principle of parameters design

the formula derivation of transverse teeth gear are introduced. Finally

an example in CNC turret is given. With the development of numerical control and sophistication process technology

the application of transverse teeth gear will has a wider development.
