The transmission error ΔS according to Niemann/Winter Volume 2 is used for pre-dimensioning of the gearing with regard to noise excitation and is based on the simplified calculation method from the Baethge dissertation. The main influencing factor is the change to the total length of the line of contact over the mesh. System deformations and flank modifications are not considered in this method. The fluctuation of the total length of the line of contact Δlc of a spur gear as a function of the transverse and overlap contact ratios is shown in the following figure from the Wikidal dissertation:

Δl Difference between the maximum and minimum total length of the line of contact relative to the time-averaged value 
εα Transverse contact ratio
εß Overlap contact ratio
