    This document describes the Parkinson Gear Tester, a machine used to test spur gears. It consists of a master gear mounted on a fixed spindle and a gear under test mounted on a sliding carriage. Spring pressure keeps the gears in mesh as they rotate. Variations in the carriage movement, measured by a dial indicator, reveal any irregularities in the tested gear. Alternatively, a recorder can produce a waxed circular chart of the gear's accuracy of mesh. The tester allows adjustment of the axial distance between gears and recording of test data to evaluate gear quality and machining needs. Limitations include a measurement accuracy of ±0.001mm and dependence on the master gear.

    The Parkinson Gear Tester is a machine developed by James Parkinson that is used to test spur gears in pairs by measuring any irregularities in one of the gears. It mounts one gear (the master gear) fixedly and allows the other gear to float on springs and needle bearings while both gears are rotated to identify inaccuracies.

    The Parkinson Gear Tester is popularly used for testing spur gears in pairs to identify any irregularities or inaccuracies in one of the gears.

    The Parkinson Gear Tester works by mounting one standard gear fixedly and allowing the gear being tested to float on a sliding carriage maintained in mesh by spring pressure. As the gears rotate, movements of the sliding carriage are measured by a dial indicator or recorder to determine variations caused by any imperfections in the tested gear.

    Parkinson Gear Tester


    This machine, developed by James Parkinson, is popularly used for testing of spur gears, in pair. One of the gears, is called the Master Gear,

    and the gears are mounted on an arbor, which is located on separate slides, one of them being adjustable for centre distance, and then the other clamped. The floating slide is supported on needle bearing and nut loaded springs.

    A Parkinson Gear Tester

    Principle Of Operation
    The principle of this device is to mount a standard

    gear on a fixed vertical spindle and the gear to be tested on another similar spindle mounted on a similar spindle mounted on a sliding carriage, maintaining the gears in mesh by spring pressure. Movements of the sliding carriage as the gears are rotated and indicated by a dial indicator, and these variations are a measure of any irregularities in the gear under test , alternatively a recorder can be fitted , in the form of a waxed circular chart and records made of the gear variation in accuracy of mesh.

    (Continued )
    The gears are mounted on the two mandrels , so that

    they are free to rotate without measurable clearance. The left spindle can be moved along the table and clamped in any desired position. The right mandrel slide is free to move, running on steel balls , against spring pressure and it has a limited movement. The two mandrels can be adjusted so that their axial distance is equal to the designed gear center distance.

    Recording The Test Data


    When the waxed paper recorder is fitted, the chart

    makes a revolution for each one of the gears mounted on the sliding carriage. As the chart moves and rotates, the line traced records the movements of floating carriage. A circle is drawn at the same time as the record as shown in figure.

    Inferences Of Data
    1. This chart represents the high accuracy of the manufactured gears, and smoothness of operations.

    2. This chart represents the mediocrity, and thus, some machining process need to be carried out, so that principle operations may be carried out.

    3. This chart represents that the gear ion consideration is just not feasible to use, and itd take a large amount of machining operations, to make it requisitively accurate.

    Types Of Measurements

    Limitations Of This Method


    Limitations of Parkinson gear tester: 1. Accuracy= 0.001mm 2. Maximum gear diameter is 300mm

    3. Errors are not clearly identified. 4. Measurement dependent upon the master gear. 5. Low friction in the movement of

    floating carriage.
