Abstract
In a strain wave gearing, the addendum tooth profile of an inner gear is defined by a formula and that of an outer gear is by another formula at a principal cross-section located at a tooth-trace-direction center of the outer gear, on the basis of a movement locus (Mc) of κ=1 by the teeth of the outer gear with respect to those of the inner gear. The tooth profiles of the dedenda of each of the inner gear and the outer gear are set to any shape that does not interfere with the tooth profile of the addendum of the other gear. It is possible to avoid superimposed flexion-induced bending stresses and tensile stresses caused by load torque arising at the long-axis locations of the outer gear, and the transmission torque capacity of a strain wave gearing can be improved.
