Gear couplings are mechanical components to connect shaft ends and eliminate the misalignments. Most important elements of the gear coupling are the hub and the sleeve. The hub is an external gear having crowned teeth and the sleeve is an internal spur gear. Both gears have equal number of teeth. In this paper the manufacturing methods are presented for the hub and sleeve and mathematical models are investigated for the tooth surfaces of both components. An approximation is presented to determine the contact points and to analyze the gear meshing.
