Based on the elaborated calculation method he authors method for determining the wear and durability of gears was employed to measure the maximum contact pressures, linear wear of teeth and durability of the gear with height correction of the profile. The optimal condition width in involute helical gears is indicated ensuring constant length of the line of contact between the meshing gears. As a result, it was possible to determine variations in the parameters for the optimized gear describing the meshing gears at different values of the profile correction coefficients.
