Abstract
A method of designing a gear in which a tooth trace of the tooth flank, which is to be engaged with another mating tooth flank, is curved with respect to an axial direction of the body of the gear. The mating tooth flank of the mating gear is designed in such a manner that a desired tooth contact can be achieved. Accordingly, sufficient design precision can be attained. Furthermore, stress at the tooth flanks can be controlled when the gears are engaged with each other, thereby leading to high durability of the gears.
