Description
SummaryThis is a Metric Translation gear for cutting metric threads on an imperial leadscrew lathe this was designed for a South Bend lathe model 9C.
photo is of 80/63 translation gear as I don't think this 127/100 would fit my present set up need to make another banjo to make it fit.
The teeth have 14.5 degree pressure angle
The gear has a DP of 18
The module is 1.411
True involute form
The 127 tooth has an designed inside dia of 165mm but ends up about 164mm
The 100 tooth has a designed inside dia of 127mm but ends up about 126mm
The 100 tooth ring has 1mm step so it give a gap between the gears so it is 3/8" wide + 1mm
The 127 tooth ring is 3/8" wide which is the width of the standard South Bend gears
It's mainly a space problem that dictates which of the translation gears you use, there may be others but these are the common ones that I know of.
The 127/100 metric translation gear which gives no errors in the generated pitches.
The 80/63 gives an error of 0.0125%
The another gear set 47/37 gives an error of -0.0212%Print SettingsRafts: NoSupports: NoResolution: I used a 0.3Infill: 100 %Notes: The centre I made is of hardwood as that is what I had laying around, but form board or marine ply would probably be a better option.
I turned the timber so that the ABS ring just slipped over then cover with super glue and made sure it ran true before the glue set
