Asymetrical Spiral Gears
Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2022 8:02 am
Hello all,
If I construct a logarithmic gear set with a minimum pitch radius of .5 and a maximum of 1.0 (for example) then, as they start to rotate, the initial speed ratio will be 2:1, then as rotation continues it will transition through 1:1 and continue to finally end up at 1:2. Is there a way to modify the gears so that the ratio would be asymmetrical, so that the speed ration could vary from 1:1 to 1:2 through the 360 degree rotation?
Thanks,
David
