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

The main objective of this paper is to study the effect of gear geometry on the oil pressure 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 pressure. 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 curvatures equal 1.4, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 2.75, and 3m are considered. The authors deduced that the tooth rack profile with radius or curvature equal 2.5, 2.75, 3m for all- addendum circular arc tooth and convex-concave tooth profile, and derived equations of pressure difference for spur, helical, and circular- are gear pumps. Computer program has been prepared to calculate the pressure from the derived formulae with all variables for different types of gear pumps. Curves showing the change of pressure with module, number of teeth, pressure angle, face width, correction factor, helix angle, and radius of curvature are presented. The results show that: 1) Pressure increases with increasing helix angle. 2) Pressure decreases with increasing face width, number of teeth, positive correction factor, module, pressure angle and radius of curvature of the tooth. 3) The all- addendum circular-arc gears generates pressure higher than helical, convex-concave and spur gear pumps. 4) A curve fitting is done for all variables with pressure and the following formulae derived for the pressure: P=A3b−0.943z−1.175m−2.1β0.175e−0.61xe−0.0048αP=A4b−1z−1.34m−2β0.119ρ1−0.393 These formulae represent simple tool for the designer to calculate the pressure of involute and circular arc gear pumps.

The conformity of circular-arc profile gears of the Wildhaber-Novikov sort is examined. It is indicated that the contact area may be a banana shape rather than the ellipse hitherto assumed. Two consequences of this are that too small a difference between the profile radii may reduce the useful conformity, and that it is not possible to increase the torque capacity per unit face width indefinitely by reducing the helix angle.

The paper conducted a modal analysis of an internal helical gear based on AWE, and obtained its first 6 order natural frequency. Then the paper analyzed the influence of its parameters on the vibration characteristics of the internal helical gear, found that if the helix angle, the normal module, the number of teeth of the internal helical gear change, its vibration characteristics will change, but the change of the pressure angle doesn’t influence its vibration characteristics.

Conformity factor, which is more rationally defined as the ratio of the area of contact to the active area of the flank of the mating teeth, is theoretically evaluated for Wildhaber-Novikov circular-arc gears, using Hertz’s theory of contact stress, without neglecting the effect of the difference in the profile radii of the pinion and wheel teeth, which is an important factor in fully-hardened gears. The variation of the conformity factor with the helix angle, pressure angle, ratio of the profile radii, module and the number of teeth follows closely the variation of load-carrying capacity per unit face-width of these gears and hence, from this study it is concluded that conformity factor is a more rational index on which the selection of the profile and material parameters should be based. This study of the conformity factor, for the particular profile geometry, indicates 7.5 to 15.0 deg as the suitable helix-angle range for achieving maximum load-carrying capacity per unit face-width.

The two gears of the double circular-arc helical gear is a mesh of a concave/convex combination. Because the curvature is close to each other, the strength also increased and thus, it is often used in heavily-loaded workplaces. The national standard for double circular-arc helical gear (ex., GB12759-91) is based on the size of the gear module to design its tooth profile. This shows that tooth geometric-related designs are quite complicated. If the effect of the different pressure angle parameter is considered, we would be unable to conduct relevant studies for the original standard formula with a double circular-arc helical gear set at a pressure angle of 24°. Firstly, this paper would redefine a new double circular-arc helical gear according to the discontinuousness tooth profile molded line of the double circular-arc helical gear and unchangeable pressure angle and explain the improvements in the design and stress analysis of the tooth especially since the double circular-arc helical gear has no limitation in the minimum number of teeth. Thus, the decrease in the driving gears’ number of module and can further increase the reduction gear ratio. For heavily-loaded planetary gear reducer, it’s quite obvious in the miniaturizing and high torque superiority. This paper also used certain winch’s speed reducer as example to explain that the change of the pressure angle can reduce contact stress by 3%~40% and also enhances the torque ability by 3%~40%.

Abstract Novel circular-arc gear pumps effectively solve the problems of oil trapping and flow pulsation experienced with traditional gear pumps. However, the center distance deviation associated with assembly and installation during gear pump processing has an important influence on the outlet pressure pulsation characteristics of circular-arc gear pumps. First, the circular-arc tooth profile equation, conjugate curve equation and meshing line equation were derived to design the circular-arc gear meshing and center distance deviation functions. Second, the circular-arc gear tooth profile was accurately obtained. Then, a pressure pulsation characteristic simulation model for the novel circular-arc gear pumps considering the center distance deviation was established. The results show that with the increase of center distance deviation, the outlet flow rate of the arc gear pump increases first and then decreases greatly. Moreover, the center distance deviation has little effect on the independent tooth cavity pressure. Finally, the proposed fluid dynamic model is used to simulate a commercial circular-arc gear pump, which was tested within this research for modeling validation purposes. The comparisons highlight the validity of the proposed simulation approach.

While transmission theory of asymmetric double circular arc gears is created,the design parameters of asymmetric double circular arc gears are also studied theoretically in this paper. A set of equations for determining asymmetric double circular arc tooth profile are deduced. The theoretical foundation will be laid for designing the gear pumps and reduction boxes in the future productively.

A new W-N gear tooth profile is developed. The gear developed has an addendum of circular arc and a dedendum of involute curve. This particular tooth profile is believed to solve the problem of conventional W-N gear profile—that is, the profile is sensitive to center distance variations. No pitting on the gear was observed even after 1 × 107 revolutions cycle during the laboratory test using a pair of gear having specified values of Mn (normal module) = 4, β (helix angle) = 30 deg, and Lloyd’s K factor at 8 MPa.
