- I once viewed an involute which the involute accelerated.
Can someone help me with a formula for an accelerating involute curve? I have found this wiki on involute
This wiki page you cited has a formula for a general curve, and several more for specific types of curves. Isn't one of these what you're looking for?homerwho said:Summary: I once viewed an involute which the involute accelerated.

For most of the formulas on the page you linked to, you need to do a parametric plot. For example, to plot ##x(t) = t + \sin(t), y(t) = 3 + \cos(t)## on the interval ##[0, 2\pi]##, you can do this in WolframAlpha:homerwho said:possibly. that's why I posted in the math forum. I can't decipher from that what I would need to plot. Thanks
An accelerating involute is a type of gear profile that is used in gear design to create smooth and efficient power transmission.
An accelerating involute works by gradually increasing the contact ratio between two gears as they rotate, resulting in a smoother transfer of power and less wear and tear on the gears.
The main advantage of using an accelerating involute is that it reduces the impact and shock loads on the gears, resulting in longer gear life and improved efficiency.
An accelerating involute has a more gradual curve, which allows for a larger contact ratio and smoother power transfer compared to a standard involute, which has a more abrupt curve.
One limitation of using an accelerating involute is that it requires precise manufacturing and assembly to ensure proper functioning. Additionally, it may not be suitable for all types of gear applications.
