Abstract
Abstract A gear wheel is provided for engaging a positive motion belt in a power transmission device. The positive motion belt has elastic rectilinear teeth. The gear wheel is generated by a rectilinearly toothed gear cutter which has a cavity form having a pressure angle Phi , an effective cavity thickness L and a depth H of the following values when the pressure angle and effective thickness and height of the tooth on said belt are phi , l and h, respectively:
