 Crowned Flanks : Flanks of the teeth are crowned so that tooth thickness is
greatest at that centre of the tooth. This assures larger contact area per
tooth for higher torque requirements and puts more teeth in contact for a
given angle. Actual tooth loading takes place near the center of the tooth
face where tooth thickness is greatest, Crowned flanks also eliminate end-of-
tooth loading, provide optimum load distribution, and accommodate all
types of misalignment with minimum backlash.

Cpf is a pinion proportion factor which reflects misalignment due to load

induced elastic deformations of the pinion.
Cma is a mesh alignment factor which accounts for misalignment due to causes other
than elastic deformation such as inaccurate location of shaft bearings. It is
approximated :
Note: Work-hardening means that the hardness increases considerably as the
material is deformed, e.g. during the process of producing chips.
