CURRENT METHOD

Initially, the instrument is calibrated and equipped with a master gear and testing gear in their
respective spindles. Both the gears are maintained in the mesh condition due to the spring force applied
between the carriages. The gears mounted on the spindles are free to rotate. Due to the imperfections
in the testing gear, the sliding carriages move in a horizontal direction. The horizontal displacement of
the sliding carriage is sensed and indicated by the dial indicator. The center distance is measured by a
scale placed on the carriage and Vernier on the other side. The accuracy of Parkinson gear tester is ±1
micron. The dial indicator can be replaced by an amplifying device and an electronic recorder as used in
the talysurf surface meter. The errors are traced and reproduced in two types of chart or graph sheet
with the magnified radial errors. It is in the form of circular or rectangular charts.

ADVANTAGES

1. It has a solid and rigid design. It is easy to operate

2. The replacement of dial indicators with electronic transducers and recorders for complicated gear roll
tests is an added advantage.

3. A high degree of magnification can be achieved in this instrument.

4. The accuracy of this instrument is about ±0.001mm.
