question about conical wheels

[Martakynghi]

Hello I wanted to ask you why the tooth of the conical wheel is tapered unlike the cylindrical wheel?

It is not said. there are conical wheels with the section of the tooth to close towards the center (they are the classic ones), following the line of the conical generator and instead there are those with constant section with width b not elevated.

What do you mean?

if it is tapered means that the section of the tooth on the outside wheel is large while towards the center is small.... until zero at the center.

I attach a very explanatory image (they are conical wheels with helical teeth but change very little).
normally the braked wheels are tapered while the dentate ones with toothing machine are at constant height.

in this photo you can see well the tapering and therefore the section difference of the tooth between the outside and inside.

Thank you.
