Helical Gear Pair

Gear drive is a mechanism transmitting a power and a motion through the teeth contact. The number of teeth in contact changes during a mesh cycle. That raises a discontinuity of the mesh stiffness, and causes a gear vibration. The discontinuity implies a direct relationship with the contact ratio of the gear pair. In general, the high contact ratio more than two decreases the discontinuity of the mesh stiffness. Therefore, the increase of the contact ratio is able to reduce the vibration and the noise in the gear drives. An adoption of a helical gear pair is a method to obtain two or more contact ratio. However, that provides a thrust force and a difficulty to machine and assemble. For a spur gear pair, though it is possible to increase the contact ratio by stretching the tooth depth, the tooth thickness may reduce or be excessively sharp at the tooth tip on the addendum circle. In this study, we designed and made a high contact ratio spur gear pair with an asymmetric tooth profile. The gear pair has a large tooth depth to increase the contact ratio, and the asymmetric tooth profile to prevent the sharpness of tooth at the tip circle. In the running test, the vibration and the noise were measured. Consequently, we succeeded in a reduction of vibration and noise in spur gear drives with the asymmetric tooth profile.

Meshing Process

The paper reports a tooth profile modification method of spur gear. After establishing a standardized mathematical model for optimized tooth profile and simulating meshing process with ANSYS finite element analysis, we obtained 625 groups of gear models with different modification parameters. The group with minimum transmission errors owns the optimal parameters. Genetic algorithm was adopted in the entire process for the purpose of reducing the variation of transmission errors in meshing process. The arc and parabolic modification were doing the same processing. After comparing the transmission errors fluctuation produced by the meshing process of gear of nonmodification with arc modification and parabolic modification, we found that the best modification effects of arc modification and parabolic modification were both reduced by 90%. The modification method makes the gear drive process more stable and efficient, and it is also promising in general application for gear drive.

Gear Profile

Fine finishing of spur gears reduces the vibrations and noise and upsurges the service life of two mating gears. A new magnetorheological gear profile finishing (MRGPF) process is utilized for the fine finishing of spur gear teeth profile surfaces. In the present study, the development of a theoretical mathematical model for the prediction of change in surface roughness during the MRGPF process is done. The present MRGPF is a controllable process with the magnitude of the magnetic field, therefore, the effect of magnetic flux density (MFD) on the gear tooth profile has been analyzed using an analytical approach. Theoretically calculated MFD is validated experimentally and with the finite element analysis. To understand the finishing process mechanism, the different forces acting on the gear surface has been investigated. For the validation of the present roughness model, three sets of finishing cycle experimentations have been performed on the spur gear profile by the MRGPF process. The surface roughness of the spur gear tooth surface after experimentation was measured using Mitutoyo SJ-400 surftest and is equated with the values of theoretically calculated surface roughness. The results show the close agreement which ranges from −7.69% to 2.85% for the same number of finishing cycles. To study the surface characteristics of the finished spur gear tooth profile surface, scanning electron microscopy is used. The present developed theoretical model for surface roughness during the MRGPF process predicts the finishing performance with cycle time, improvement in the surface quality, and functional application of the gears.

Gear Pumps

The main objective of this paper is to study the effect of gear geometry on the discharge of gear pumps. We have used gears of circular-arc tooth profile as gear pumps and have compared between these types of gearing and spur, helical gear pumps according to discharge. The chosen module change from 2 to 16 mm, number of teeth change from 8 to 20 teeth, pressure angle change from 10 to 30 deg, face width change from 20 to 120 mm, correction factor change from −1 to 1, helix angle change from 5 to 30 deg, and radii of curvature equal 1.4, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 2.75, and 3m are considered. The authors deduced that the tooth rack profile with radius of curvature equal 2.5, 2.75, 3m for all addendum circular arc tooth and convex-concave tooth profile, and derived equations representing the tooth profile, and calculated the points of intersections between curves of tooth profile. We drive the formulas for the volume of oil between adjacent teeth. Computer program has been prepared to calculate the discharge from the derived formulae with all variables for different types of gear pumps. Curves showing the change of discharge with module, number of teeth, pressure angle, face width, correction factor, helix angle, and radius of curvature are presented. The results show that: 1) The discharge increases with increasing module, number of teeth, positive correction factor, face width and radius of curvature of the tooth. 2) The discharge increases with increasing pressure angle to a certain value and then decreases with increasing pressure angle. 3) The discharge decreases with increasing helix angle. 4) The convex-concave circular-arc gears gives discharge higher than that of alla ddendum circular arc, spur, and helical gear pumps respectively. 5) A curve fitting of the results are done and the following formulae derived for the discharge of involute and circular arc gear pumps respectively: Q=A1bm2z0.895e0.065xe0.0033αe−0.0079βQ=A2bm2z0.91ρ10.669e−0.0047β

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to derive a new lubrication model of double involute gears drive and study the effect of the tooth waist order parameters of double involute gears on lubrication performance. Design/methodology/approach The new lubrication model of double involute gears drive was established according to the meshing characteristics of double involute gears drive and the finite length line contact elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory. Numerical calculation of the lubrication model of gear drive was conducted using the multigrid method. Findings The results show that the oil film necking phenomenon and the oil film pressure peak emerged at the tooth waist order area and the tooth profile ends, and when compared with involute gear, the lubrication performance at the tooth waist order area is better than that at the tooth profile ends. The effect of tooth waist order parameters on lubrication performance at the tooth waist order area was greater than that at other areas. Originality/value This research will promote the application of the double involute gear as soon as possible, and it has the reference value for other types of gears.
