A method of defining a new pinion 32 for use with a given face gear set 24. Tooth geometry of the new pinion 32 is generated by a plane taking the given face gear set 24 as reference and maintaining true conjugate actions among the original pinion 28, the face gear 24, the new pinion 32 and the generating plane 64. This method makes it possible to eliminate adapter gears for applications requiring different shaft settings and/or ratios than those of the given gear set, such as a tail rotor of a helicopter. |
