Abstract

See full text

A method of manufacturing a gear cluster from a first gear body and a second gear body comprises producing a first set of gear teeth on the first gear body such that each tooth on the first set of gear teeth has a first pitch point. The second gear body is axially aligned with the first gear body. A timing position for a second set of gear teeth on the second gear body is determined by dimensioning from the first set of gear teeth. A second set of gear teeth on the second gear body is produced based on the timing position and each tooth on the second set of gear teeth has a second pitch point. The gear cluster is inspected for timing position by measuring a reference dimension between the first pitch point and the second pitch point.
