Transmission angle
The transmission angle µ is decisive for the quality of the motion transmission in a transmission . At the point of articulation between the transmitting and the driven link, it is the smaller angle (µ = 0 ° to 90 °) between the tangents to the movement paths of the links. It is a variable value that depends on the current joint position. The transmission of motion is greatest at µ = 90 ° and is usually sufficient if around µ ≥ 50 ° is maintained in the range of motion of the gear unit. At an angle of µ = 0 ° the gear is in a dead center , whereby theoretically an infinitely large force can be transferred, but no movement and therefore no work .
