The geometry of a gear pair depends on the center distance and the included angle between the two axes of rotation along with the axial positions of the toe and heel (face width). During operation, loads can cause the gear system components to deflect such that the relative position and orientation between the gear elements change. This paper illustrates how certain gear body displacements are used to specify a gear pair’s geometric parameters that can improve contact during mesh. An illustrative example involving cylindrical gear elements is presented to demonstrate the procedure.

Successive editions of Henriot’s treatise on gears, and an AFNOR document, present an approximate procedure for the choice of profile shift values for the pinion and wheel when a center distance value is imposed in a cylindrical gear pair. That procedure aims at achieving an approximate balancing of the maximum specific sliding values of the pinion and of the wheel. The method involves a loosely defined choice of an auxiliary parameter, but no information is available relating this choice with the level of attainment of the intended balancing of maximum specific sliding values. This assessment, if needed, requires a subsequent analysis for verification.Since no information is available evaluating the procedure, the purpose of this work is to provide a thorough rigorous analysis of the method, highlighting its qualities but also its shortcomings.

Among other things, passive methods based on the processing of images of feature points or beacons captured by an image sensor are used to measure the relative position of objects. At least two cameras usually have to be used to obtain the required information, or the cameras are combined with other sensors working on different physical principles. This paper describes the principle of passively measuring three position coordinates of an optical beacon using a simultaneous method and presents the results of corresponding experimental tests. The beacon is represented by an artificial geometric structure, consisting of several semiconductor light sources. The sources are suitably arranged to allow, all from one camera, passive measurement of the distance, two position angles, the azimuth, and the beacon elevation. The mathematical model of this method consists of working equations containing measured coordinates, geometric parameters of the beacon, and geometric parameters of the beacon image captured by the camera. All the results of these experimental tests are presented.

In the paper a trajectory generation algorithm for two robots’ coordinated motion is presented. Two instances of the algorithm, each for one robot, run in the same time and calculate trajectories’ position and orientation coordinates. Initial and end robots’ end-effectors poses are defined and values of linear and angular speeds are programmed. To minimize relative position and orientation errors an idea of corrective motion is introduced. Trajectory coordinates are calculated as the sum of programmed and corrective motion. The algorithm was implemented in a simulation environment and results of simulation are presented. Static accuracy analysis for general case and stability verification for fixed values of robots’ parameters are described. Finally, an outline of proposed procedure of building a virtual environment for reachability verification and collision checking is presented.

Elliptic family gears are commonly used in non-circular gears, which include elliptic gear, high-order gear, elliptic deformed gear and high-order deformed gear, thereinto high-order deformed gear can include the elliptic family gears through adjust its order and deformed coefficient. Because non-circular gear has different tooth profile in different position of pitch curve and there is difference in the left and right tooth profile of the same gear tooth, thus the CAD modeling of non-circular gear is difficult for these characteristics; but the precise model of non-circular gear has important significance to the realization of numerical control machining, kinematic simulation and relevant mechanical analysis. This paper deduce the corresponding pure rolling mathematical model based on the pure rolling contact theory that cylindrical gear and non-circular gear mesh in the end face, and realize the CAD modeling of non-circular straight and helical gears by letting the cylindrical gear and non-circular gear make solid geometry operation, which is suitable for pitch curve with convex and concave. The non-circular gear shaping methods with equal polar and equal arc length are simulated by setting different discrete polar angles, and the transmission ratio curve and the angular acceleration curve of driven gear are get through the kinematic simulation of gear pair, which realize the transmission performance analysis of elliptic family gear pair. The above research results can be applied to the modeling and kinematic performance analysis of other non-circular gears.

The compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is a new type of gear transmission based on the cam mechanism and the curve-face gear pair. It combines the transmission characteristics of the cam mechanism and noncircular bevel gear. When the compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is engaged in the meshing transmission, the rotating center of the cylindrical gear is fixed and used as the driving wheel, and the curve-face gear can generate the helical motion around the axis. In this paper, the meshing characteristics and motion laws of the compound transmission mechanism of the curve-face gear are studied based on the theory of screw. Based on the meshing theory of gears, the coordinate system of conjugate surfaces is established, the basic meshing theory and equation are obtained. On this basis, combined with the principle of the cam, the transmission principle is analyzed by the screw theory. The tooth surface equation of the compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is deduced based on the meshing theory and the related knowledge of geometry. The motion law of the curve-face gear and the change of the motion law with the change of the basic parameters of the gear pair with different design parameters are calculated and analyzed. An experimental platform is built to verify the law of motion, and the experimental results are compared with the theoretical values. The correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified, which provides a new way for the research of the compound transmission mechanism of the curve-face gear.

Purpose: To carry out the transition from a cylindrical gear in which the centroids are congruent ellipses with centres of rotation in the foci, to a bevel gear on the basic of congruent spherical ellipses. Design/methodology/approach: Congruent ellipses with centres of rotation in the foci serve as centroids for the design of cylindrical gears with non-circular wheels. The article analytically shows that the analogues of ellipses on the plane - congruent spherical ellipses are the basis for the construction of the axoids of the corresponding bevel gears. An analogue of the centre-to-centre distance for ellipses in the plane is the angle between the axes of rotation of conical axoids. Findings: Based on the equality of the arcs of ellipses, the dependence of the angle of rotation of one axoid on the angle of rotation of another is found. Graphs of this dependence for separate cases are given. It is shown under what conditions the axes of axoids intersect at right angle. The parametric equations of spherical ellipses and corresponding axoids are given. They were used to construct spherical ellipses and corresponding conical axoids for different cases. For gears with right angle between the axes, separate positions of the axoids with different angles of their rotation around their axes are constructed. Practical implications: Spherical ellipses are directing curves for the construction of the corresponding conical axoids. Originality/value: The paper shows that congruent spherical ellipses act as centroids for the design of axoids of bevel gears. They roll one by one without sliding, rotating around axes that intersect in the centre of the sphere. To design such gears, it is important to know the interdependence between the geometric parameters, especially for common gears with a right angle between the axes.

Considering the microstructure of tooth surface and the dynamic characteristics of the vibration responses, a compound dynamic backlash model is employed for the gear transmission system. Based on the fractal theory and dynamic center distance, respectively, the dynamic backlash is presented, and the potential energy method is applied to compute the time-varying meshing stiffness, including the healthy gear system and the crack fault gear system. Then, a 16-DOF coupled lateral-torsional gear-rotor-bearing transmission system with the crack fault is established. The fault characteristics in the time-domain waveform and frequency response and statistics data are described. The effect of crack on the time-varying meshing stiffness is analyzed. The vibration response of three backlash models is compared. The dynamic response of the system is explored with the increase in crack depth in detail. The results show that the fault features of countershaft are more obvious. Obvious fluctuations are presented in the time-domain waveform, and sidebands can be found in the frequency domain responses when the tooth root crack appears. The effect of compound dynamic backlash on the system is more obvious than fixed backlash and backlash with changing center distance. The vibration displacement along meshing direction and dynamic meshing force increases with the increase in crack depth. Backlash and variation of center distance show different tendencies with increasing crack depth under different rotational speeds. Amplitude of the sidebands increases with crack depth increasing. The amplitude of multiplication frequency of rotational frequency has an obvious variation with growing crack depth. The sidebands of the multiplication frequency of meshing frequency show more details on the system with complex backlash and crack fault.
