Single Flank Testing of Gears - May/June 1984
The article "Single Flank Testing of Gears" appeared in the May/June 1984 issue of Gear Technology.
Presumably, everyone who would be interested in this subject is already somewhat familiar with testing of gears by traditional means. Three types of gear inspection are in common use: 1) measurement of gear elements and relationships, 2) tooth contact pattern checks and 3) rolling composite checks. Single Flank testing falls into this last category, as does the more familiar Double Flank test.
