Method for Specifying
the Geometry of Spur
and Helical Gears
1 Scope
This information sheet provides a general method
for specifying profile shift and rack shift, with gear
nomenclature and definitions. This document
describes the effect that profile shift has on the
geometry and performance of gears, but does not
make specific design recommendations.
The equations in the first part of this document
(clauses 3 and 4) apply to external gear pairs only.
The corresponding equations for internal gear pairs
are contained in clause 5.
Annexes A andB provide practical examples on the
calculation of tool proportions and profile shift.

3 Definitions
This information sheet provides definitions of profile
shift and rack shift and shows the relations between
them and other gear quantities. The terms profile
shift and rack shift are used in this information sheet
for standardization. The intention is to replace the
similar or related terms listed in table 2.
3.1 Basic rack
The standard basic rack tooth profile is the tooth
profile normal section through the teeth of a basic
rack which corresponds to an external gear with
number of teeth z = and diameter d = , see
figure 1.
A gear with normal module, mn, and normal
pressure angle, ∼n, has a basic rack whose normal
circular pitch, pn, is πmn andwhose normal pressure
angle is ∼n.
The referenceplaneof thebasic rack isparallel to its
tooth tip plane and is the plane on which the normal
circular tooth thickness, sn, is equal to one half the
normal circular pitch. From this definition it follows
that the normal circular tooth thickness on the
reference plane is equal to the normal circular
space width.

If the basic rack is oriented so that its teeth make an
angle βwith the gear axis, see figure 3, the section
through the basic rack perpendicular to the gear
axis is called the transverse section. On this
section, the transverse circular pitch, pt, and the
transverse tooth thickness, st, are given by:
pt=
pn
cosβ
...(1)
st=
sn
cosβ
...(2)
and the transverse module, mt, is defined by:
mt=
mn
cosβ
...(3)
The basic rack represents the theoretical gear tooth
form, not the form of the cutting tool. No allowance
ismade for backlash, finishing stock or manufactur-
ing method.
The standard 20 normal pressure angle basic rack
of ISO53 is commonly used. This document is valid
for that basic rack and for any other basic rackwhich
meets the criteria of figure 1.
3.2 Reference cylinder of the gear (standard
pitch cylinder)
The reference cylinder of a gear is defined as the
pitch cylinder where circular pitch of the gear is
equal to circular pitch of the basic rack. If the gear
has z teeth and the rack is oriented with its teeth
making an angle β with the gear axis, then the
diameter, d, of the reference cylinder is given by
d=
z mn
cosβ
...(4)
The pitch plane of the basic rack is parallel to the
reference plane and is the plane that is tangent to
the reference cylinder of the gear. Thehelix angleof
the gear at its reference cylinder is equal to β.
3.3 Reference center distance
The reference center distance of an external gear
pair is defined as half the sum of the reference
diameters.
aref=
�d1+ d2�
2
= r1+ r2 ...(5)
where r1 and r2 are the radii of the reference
cylinders.
The reference center distance is not necessarily
equal to the operating center distance. It is one of
the advantages of involute gears, that the operating
center distance can vary from the reference center
distance without change in operation.
3.4 Hypothetical tool
The hypothetical tool is the complement of thebasic
rack as shown in figure 2. The reference line of the
hypothetical tool is the line at which its normal
circular tooth thickness is equal to π mn
2
.
The use of the phrase “hypothetical tool” in this
document refers to a rack--type cutter. For
additional information and an example calculation,
see annexes A and B.

3.5 Zero backlash gear pair
A zero backlash gear pair is one which operates in
tight mesh (has no backlash) on the operating
center distance.
3.6 Profile shift
The profile shift, y, of the gear is defined as the
amount by which the reference plane of the
hypothetical tool (conjugate to the basic rack) is
displaced from the reference cylinder of the gear. In
other words, the gear has profile shift y if the
reference plane of the hypothetical tool lies a
distance (r + y) from thegear axis, where r is half the
diameter, d. Profile shift, y, can be either plus or
minus depending on whether the profile shift is to
the outside or to the inside of the reference
diameter. See figure 3.
3.7 Profile shift coefficient
The profile shift coefficient, x, of the gear is defined
as the profile shift divided by the normal module.
x=
y
mn ...(6)
3.8 Tooth thickness
The normal circular tooth thickness, sn, of the zero
backlash gear at its reference cylinder is equal to
the normal circular space width of the hypothetical
tool at its pitch plane when in tight mesh with the
zero backlash gear.
sn=

2
π mn+ 2y tanαn ...(7)
NOTE: Equations 7, 8 and 9 are for external gears
only. The corresponding equations for internal gears
are given in 5.1.
3.9 Rack shift
It is customary to first choose the tooth thicknesses
in a gear pair, assuming there is no backlash, and to
then reduce the tooth thicknesses to allow for
backlash. The phrase “profile shift” will be used for
the value of y corresponding to the tooth thickness
before thinning, and the phrase “rack shift” for the
value of y after thinning. Since the rack shift
determines the actual tooth thickness at the time of
cutting or generating, the symbol yE is used for the
rack shift and xE for the rack shift coefficient. If the
amount of thinning is ∆sn, the relationship between
rack shift and profile shift is:
Normal plane
Base circle
Transverse plane
Profile shift “y”

...(8)
If two external gears are to mesh with no backlash,
their profile shift values must satisfy:
y1+ y2=
aref
(inv αwt − inv αt)
tan αt
...(9)
where
aref is the reference center distance;
∼wt is the operating transverse pressure angle;
∼t is the reference transverse pressure angle.
3.10 Addendum values
The gear addendum, measured from the reference
cylinder, is usually chosen as (haP + y). This value
depends on the profile shift rather than the rack shift
and is therefore independent of the value chosen for
backlash. In certain designs, particularly when the
center distance is significantly larger than the
reference standard center distance, the gear ad-
dendummay need to be reduced to allow adequate
clearance at the roots of the meshing gear, see
4.10.
For internal gear pair equations which replace
equations 7 through 9, see 5.1.
4 Profile shift
4.1 Profile shift calculation
Profile shift is selected considering the following
criteria:
-- avoiding undercut;
-- avoiding narrow top lands;
-- balanced specific sliding;
-- balanced flash temperature;
-- balanced bending fatigue life.
The profile shift should be large enough to avoid
undercut and small enough to avoid narrow top
lands. The profile shifts required for balanced
specific sliding, balanced flash temperature and
balanced bending fatigue life are usually different.
Therefore, the value used should be based on the
criterion that is judged to be the most important for
the particular application.
Figure 4 illustrates how the shape of a gear tooth is
influenced by the number of teeth on the gear and
the value of the profile shift coefficient.
The influence that the number of teeth has on tooth
form can be seen by viewing the teeth within any
given column of figure 4. With small numbers of
teeth, the tooth has larger curvatureand the relative
thickness of the teeth at the topland and at the form
diameter is smaller. As the number of teeth
increases, the topland and tooth thicknesses in-
crease and the curvature of the profiles decrease.
Tooth thicknesses are maximum for a rack with
straight--sided profiles and theoretically infinite
number of teeth.
Viewing figure 4 horizontally within any given row
shows how profile shift changes tooth form. Rows
near the top of figure 4 show that gears with few
teethhave
