A corrected equation of space curve meshing

The micro-elastic meshing wheel transmission (MEMWT) mechanism is a novel mechanical mechanism based on the principle of space curve meshing, which is quite different from conventional surface meshing. Considering the impact of the diameter of the tines on meshing, a corrected equation of space curve meshing is worked out in this article and compared with a space curve meshing equation established in a previous study. The corrected equation should make the design of MEMWT mechanisms more valuable for small devices or microdevices with two crossed shafts under load.
