It was released as a tentative AGMA Standard in 1941. In September, 1947, it was designated AGMA Standard 470.01. Originally, fine pitch gears were considered to lie within the range of 30 to 200 diametral pitch. In 1945, the system was extended to gears of 20 diametral pitch to avoid an intermediate (medium) pitch range In May, 1949, the two standards were combined and completely re-edited. Nomenclature and symbols were brought up to date and made to conform with ASA standards. In developing this standaed, a pressure angle of 20-deg was chosen after prolonged and careful corssideration of tooling problems and other pertinent factors. ‘The next revision of this standard was begun in 1955. The revisions consisted of the removal of minor restrictiozs, the corrections of typographical errors and the addition of a format for the specification of spur and helical gears. ‘As a result of the increasingly widespread use of gears by sintering and injection moulding process, and for those cases Where greatest tooth strength is required, tooth forms for 25-degree pressure angle ate included. The high angular precision requirements and low backlash required of control gearing containing large numbers of teeth is recognized by the addition of data on the 14% deg pressure angle system in the Information Sheets. Helical gear tables for the 14% des pressure angle have been purposely omitted because they are seldom used in control gearing. Data on drawing formats and other general design information have been removed from the body of this standard. Data fon drawing formats can be obtained from AGMA 114.02, “Information Sheet—Formats for FinePitch Gear Specification Data.” Data on fine-pitch gear design will appear in a Design Manual for Fine-Pitch Gearing, Data on pinions with very low numbers of teeth have been removed from the body of this standard due to the controversial nature of their design. AGMA. 207.05, was approved by Sectional Committee BG and by the sponsors, and designated USA Standard. B6,7-1967 as of September 18, 1967. Due to difficulties encountered in fabricating gears with involute profiles to the base circle, the Fine-Pitch Committee developed a new set of tooth proportions for enlarged pinion that would not require active tooth profiles below the five degrees of roll. ‘These revisions are in keeping with requirements of current practices in the fine-pitch gear field and are presented in the form of tables and graphs on 20 degree normal pressure angle enlarged pinions. AGMA 207.06 was approved by the Fine Pitch Gearing Committee in June, 1971. The standard in its present form was approved by the membership as of May, 1974. copyRIGHT, 1974, 8Y AMERICAN GEAR MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION A? ayAGMA Standards and related publications represent minimum or average data, conditions or application.
