Start fra mekanismen
A useful gear tolerance plan focuses on the characteristics that control the mesh and mounting relationship.
Bore-to-tooth runout, tooth-to-tooth variation, overall geometry and the center distance in the assembly all influence working performance. Molding adds material shrinkage and process variation that should be reflected in datum and inspection choices.
Consider an assembly where the bore locates on a steel shaft and the mate is fixed in a molded housing. A tight outside-diameter tolerance on the gear does little if bore runout or housing center distance dominates the mesh. The drawing should therefore distinguish tooth geometry from mounting geometry and place the inspection datum on the feature that actually locates the gear in service.
Inndata som skal fryses før tilbud
Define the gear standard/convention, module or DP, pressure angle, bore datum, mating gear, center distance, backlash target and measurement condition.
Legg disse inndataene på den kontrollerte tegningen, spesifikasjonen eller vedlegget til tilbudsspørsmålet der det er mulig. Å holde dem unna uformelle meldingstråder gjør det enklere å håndtere leverandørsammenligninger og senere revisjoner.
Hva kan ugyldiggjøre antagelsen
Overtightening every drawing dimension can increase tooling and inspection cost without controlling the actual mesh.
Verifiseringsstrategi
Combine dimensional gear checks with an assembled roll or functional test when that better represents the mechanism.
For Injection Molded Gear Tolerances, close the DFM loop by updating the controlled CAD/drawing and sample plan. A recommendation that never reaches the released revision cannot be inspected consistently in production.
Sjekkliste for innkjøp
Before requesting a price for injection molded gear tolerances, identify the current drawing revision, production quantity, material constraint and the feature that most strongly affects function. Ask the supplier to flag any deviation from those inputs in the quotation so technical alternatives stay visible.
Praktisk designgjennomgang for denne avgjørelsen
Tolerance should be allocated from the assembly backward. Start with required working backlash or position, then include center-distance variation, tooth-to-bore runout, shaft/bearing clearance, material movement and measurement uncertainty. Tightening every free-part dimension can increase cost without protecting the assembled condition.
Registrer forutsetningene på tegningen eller i tilbudsforespørselen slik at leverandøren kan bekrefte dem før tilbudet gis. Når en verdi er ukjent, identifiser den som en åpen konstruksjonsvare i stedet for å kopiere et generisk katalognummer som kanskje ikke samsvarer med monteringen.

Bruk den første prøven til å lukke disse punktene med både dimensjonsdokumentasjon og relevant funksjonskontroll. Eventuelle aksepterte avvik bør fanges opp i den kontrollerte revisjonen før gjentatt produksjon.
