Abstract Motion simulation of mechanism of line contact like gears and cams has been difficult in the past. With Working Model, NURBS based complex geometry can be modeled fairly easily, and its simulation engine can animate this type of mechanism accurately. In this paper several Working Model files are developed for visualization and analysis. An algorithm to generate involute gear tooth profile is introduced in this paper for the involute and a portion of non-involute surface.

Abstract This paper presents a method for determining optimum involute tooth profile modifications to reduce scoring and to increase load bearing capacity. The method is based upon Bloks theory of lubrication and wear. The method leads to design charts incorporating common geometrical gearing parameters. An example is presented.

Based on the space engagement theory, a special type of non-involute beveloid gears meshing with line contact between crossed axes has been studied in this paper. The engagement equation and tooth profile equation have been presented by applying the theory of gearing. Meanwhile the tooth profile errors and axial errors have been calculated by means of numerical analysis in this paper. The changes of these errors and the main factors have been studied. As a numerical example, the three-dimensional simulation of beveloid gears between crossed axes has been finished by means of the CAD system, Pro/Engineer. A new way of gear tooth modification is developed based on the space engagement theory for the first time in this paper. By improving the wheel gear grinder of large plane grinding, the paper has provided the tooth modification method of manufacturing noninvolute beveloid gears meshing with line contact between crossed axes. Finally, an example and its calculation results are presented.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new kind of technology for the formation of an arbitrary gear tooth profile. In terms of spatial gear meshing theory, a universal transmission mathematical model for forming an arbitrary gear tooth profile has been constructed based on a standard involute gear hob. The coordinate relationship between an arbitrary point on hob cutting-edge curve and the generated point on workpiece has been deduced in detail. Hereby, an arbitrary gear tooth profile can be generated by means of computer flexible controlling each enveloped position on workpiece, and we do not need to spend so much money again to fabricate a special kind of gear cutting tool while cutting a special shape of gear tooth profile. So, this study has great economic importance, and has established the basis of generating an arbitrary gear tooth profile by means of an ordinary involute gear hob and a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) hobbing machine.

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.

Put forward a method that use scatter points which got in different places to measure the involution cylindrical gears, give a mathematical model that use the discrete points to sure the total deviation of gear tooth profile. The experience results show that this way is of high precision in measurement points, measurement an error data processing less intervention, etc.

A novel design for skew conical involute gear drives in approximate line contact is proposed. Such a drive has a contact ellipse with a large major-to-minor-axis ratio, which allows it to overcome the weakness of conical gear drives for application in power transmission. This gearing design approach is characterized by reduced edge contact sensitivity and increased surface durability. The edge contact sensitivity that can arise with this kind of gear drive due to assembly or manufacturing errors is evaluated by analysing the value of the shift of the line of action caused by such errors. The surface durability is evaluated by calculating the Hertz stress. Some guidelines are developed based on the analysis of the influence of the gearing parameters on the edge contact sensitivity and the surface durability made possible using this design approach for conical gear drives in the approximate line contact. The guidelines are summarized and, finally, a practical example is given to demonstrate the feasibility of the approximate line contact design.
