Briefly explain the advantages of Cycloidal and Involute gears?


The advantages of the Cycloidal gears are as follows: 


> Having a wider flank as compared to Involute gears they are considered to have more strength and hence can withstand further load and stress.


> The contact in case of cycloidal gears is between the concave surface and the convex flank. This results in less wear and tear.


> No interference occurs in these types of gears. 


The advantages of Involute gears are as follows:

> The primary advantage of involute gears is that it allows the changing of the centre distance of a pair without changing the velocity ratio. 


> The pressure angle remains constant from start to end teeth, this results in less wear and smooth running of the gears.


> The involute gears are easier to manufacture as they can be generated in a single curve ( the face and flank ).
