Diagram (profile)

Contact between two mating

teeth in involute gear occur
in a fixed plane of action
irrespective of the center to
center gear.

Involute gear produces

lesser noise than cycloidal
gears.

Manufacturing of accurate
involute gear is easy.

Cost to made this gears are

cheaper.

Advantages

Two convex surfaces are in

contact and thus there is
more wear.

Applications

Cycloid teeth do not

undercut or interfere with its
mating teeth.

Lesser number of teeth can

be possible for cycloidal
gears which facilities large
reduction ratio.

Cycloidal teeth are stronger

than involute teeth.

The teeth have spreading

flanks and thus are stronger.

Phenomenon of interference
does not occur at all.
