create a gear profile of curved tooth coupling in matlab

To create a gear profile of a curved tooth coupling in Matlab, you can use the following steps:

  1. Define the parameters of the curved tooth coupling such as the number of teeth, pitch circle radius, pressure angle, module, etc.
  2. Use the parametric equations that define the tooth profile of the curved gear.
  3. Write a Matlab script to generate the gear profile using these equations.

Here is an example script that demonstrates how to create a gear profile of a curved tooth coupling in Matlab:

main.m
% Parameters of the curved tooth coupling
num_teeth = 20;
pitch_circle_radius = 50;
pressure_angle = 20; % in degrees
module = 2;

% Calculate the base circle radius
base_circle_radius = pitch_circle_radius * cosd(pressure_angle);

% Generate the gear profile
theta = linspace(0, 2*pi, 1000);
x = (base_circle_radius + module) * cos(theta) - module * theta;
y = (base_circle_radius + module) * sin(theta);

% Plot the gear profile
plot(x, y);
axis equal;

You can customize the parameters and equations based on your specific design requirements for the curved tooth coupling.
