The Transmission Error and Bearing Pattern of a gear set are fundamental aspects of its meshing behavior. To assess the validity of gear simulation models, the Transmission Error and Bearing Pattern of a Formate Hypoid gear set are measured under a variety of operating positions and applied loads. Measurement data are compared to simulation results of Tooth Contact Analysis and Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis models, and show excellent agreement for the considered test gear set.

The coordinate systems for cutting face gears and for meshing of face gear drive with involute cylindrical pinion. The tooth surface equation of face gear with machining errors is deviated, such as change of shaft angle, change of shortest distance between face gear and cutter tool axes, helix angle of cutter tool. Tooth contact analysis applied in the paper considered with the alignment error of the driving system. The tooth contact path and the transmission error of the face gear drive were simulated through the tooth contact analysis for different alignment errors and machining errors. The simulation results indicate that all of the alignment errors and machining error don’t cause transmission error except helix angle error of the cutting tool. The errors will bring the shift of the contact path on gear teeth. The shift of bearing contact can be reduced by combination of different errors of alignment or machining.

A double direction modification with a grinding worm is applied on tooth surface of face gear drive. The surface equations of the rack cutter, shaper and grinding worm are derived respectively. Loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) with finite element method (FEM) is performed to investigate the meshing performance of face gear drive before modification and after modification. The modification by a grinding worm can obviously reduce the sensitivity of face gear drive to misalignment; the bending stress and the contact stress are reduced with avoiding edge contact; the load transmission error is reduced. This method can obtain a more stable bearing contact in contrast to the method by increasing tooth number of shaper, and the modification magnitude can be controlled freely. The investigation is illustrated with numerical examples.

The geometry of the tooth surface is important for tooth contact analysis, load tooth contact analysis and the ease-off of gear pairs. This paper presents a mathematical model for the determination of the tooth geometry of Klingelnberg face-hobbed hypoid gears. The formulation for the generation of gear and pinion tooth surfaces and the equations for the tooth surface coordinates are provided in the paper. The surface coordinates and normal vectors are calculated and tooth surfaces and 3D tooth geometries of gear and pinion are obtained. This method may also applied to other face-hobbing gears.

Load sharing is one of the main factors that determine gear strength. In this paper, Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA) and Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis (LTCA) have been performed to investigate the effect of tooth surface modification on the contact ratio, load sharing and strength of an orthogonal offset face gear drive with spur involute pinion. The results indicate that the contact ratio of 2.0 or higher could be achieved. The maximum load carried by single tooth and bending stress are significantly reduced when appropriate tooth surface modification is applied to the orthogonal offset face gear drive.

Abstract Hypoid gear with small cone angle and large pitch cone distance can be directed at the transmission with low shaft angle (LSA). The manufacturing process has more freedoms of motion to control the tooth surface and ensure higher mesh performance. However, it is difficult to adjust the machine settings due to the extreme geometry. This paper focused on the manufacturing process and machine settings calculation of hypoid gear with low shaft angle (LSA hypoid gear). Based on the generating process, nongenerated gear, and generated pinion manufactured by circular cutter blade, the mathematic model of tooth surface of LSA hypoid gear was developed, and the expressions of principal directions and curvatures of LSA hypoid gear were derived. The relationship of curvatures between pinion and gear was also proposed. Then based on the basic relationships of two mating surfaces, an approach to determinate machine settings for LSA hypoid gear was proposed. Finally, the tooth contact analysis (TCA) and loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) were directed at the validation of machine settings’ derivation. TCA contact pattern results highly coincide with the preset values. And the LTCA contact pattern also highly coincides with TCA results, it can be considered that the determination approach of machine settings is valid. The TCA transmission error result also shows that the ratio of contact is quite large, which is a little bigger than 2. Thus, the load bearing ability and stability of LSA hypoid gear may be superior.
