XIX IMEKO World Congress Fundamental and Applied Metrology September 6−11, 2009, Lisbon, Portugal A NOVEL ARTIFACT FOR EVALUATING ACCURACIES OF GEAR PROFILE AND PITCH MEASUREMENTS OF GEAR MEASURING INSTRUMENTS Sonko Osawa 1, Osamu Sato 1, Yohan Kondo 1, Masaharu Komori 2 and Toshiyuki Takatsuji 1 1 National Metrology Institute of Japan/ AIST, 1-1-1 Umezono Tsukuba Ibaraki, Japan, sonko.osawa@aist.go.jp 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering and Science, Kyoto University, Yoshidahonmachi, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto, Japan, komorim@me.kyoto-u.ac.jp Abstract − Evaluation of measurement performance of a describe a novel artifact which is named Multi Ball Artifact gear measuring instrument (GMI) is not easy task since a (MBA) evaluating the profile and the pitch measurement master gear with sufficient accuracy has not been available. performances of the GMI simultaneously. The manufacturing the master gear with an ideal involute form is very difficult and the accuracy of the master gear is 2. DOUBLE BALL ARTIFACT [1,2] not able to be estimated. Therefore, we have proposed a new artifact named Double Ball Artifact (DBA) which The double ball artifact (DBA) has a simple structure; consists of a base plate and two balls for evaluating the gear namely two balls are placed on a disk. An arc as a part of a profile measurement performance by the GMI [1, 2]. It has cross section of a ball is close to involute curve and the advantages of inexpensive, accurate, and calibrated with difference between two can be expressed mathematically. traceability. The DBA, however, is able only to evaluate the
