曲齒聯軸器已經廣泛地應用在工業界，並可應用於旋轉定位台上。而隨著精密機械工業的發展，曲齒聯軸器除了加工精密的特性之外，定位精度的要求也是相當重要的課題。
本文的主旨為研究曲齒聯軸器加工所造成的誤差以及分度時的定位精度。首先探討曲齒聯軸器的幾何外形與分度特性，同時利用齒形創成理論來推導出曲齒聯軸器之新的齒形輪廓方程式。再藉由研磨的製造過程中，推導出目前一般的曲齒聯軸器在各種個別誤差下的數學模式。其次，以實例研究在加工誤差下探討個別誤差所產生的影響。最後，建立一實驗機台來量測曲齒聯軸器在不同轉速下的實際定位精度。

Curvic couplings have been widely applied in industry and almost can be seen in the index table. Following the development of the precision machine industry, except the manufacturing precision, the positioning accuracy is also concerned to meet the demands for curvic couplings.
The aim of this thesis is to investigate on manufacturing errors and positioning accuracy of curvic couplings. Discuss the geometric and indexing characteristics of curvic couplings firstly. In the meantime, the new parameter tooth surface of curvic couplings is derived by tooth generating theory. Than, mathematical models are established to simulate curvic couplings at present that are manufactured by grinding machine with different setting errors. Secondly, the practical examples based on the effects of elemental error on the manufacturing error are investigated. Finally, an experimental apparatus is built to measure the actual positioning accuracy of curvic couplings at different input speeds.
