Abstract
A method of lapping teeth of a pair of gears by positively rotating one of the pair of gears at a predetermined constant speed, in mesh with the other gear in the presence of a lapping powder, while applying a braking torque to the other gear. The braking torque is controlled such that the braking torque is smaller at least when an angular acceleration value of the above-indicated other gear is maximum, than when the angular acceleration value is minimum. Also disposed is an apparatus for practicing the method.
