When the points K
1
and K
2
on the pinion and gear move to K
1
and K
2
in time t
1
and t
2
,
the respective angles are:
for the gear: ;

for the pinion: + ;

To avoid interference, the points K
1
and K
2
should not coincide at K
1

and K
2

and should
satisfy the condition:

The diagram of figure N5 is used to determine the largest difference z

, which is a
function of the pressure angle

and the ratio

, where not interference exist.

When the gears are corrected h
