A hot-roll finishing was proposed as a simple finishing method for plastic gears. In the hot-roll finishing, plastic work gears are finished by meshing with a heated copper die wheel. In the previous study, a hot-roll finishing rig for plastic gears was developed, and it was confirmed that tooth profiles of hobbed plastic gears are improved by the finishing. Thus, the hot-roll finishing could also be effective for injection-molded plastic gears. In the present paper, appropriate hot-roll finishing procedures for injection-molded polyoxymethylene (POM) helical gears were pursued. In the injection molding, an inadequate mold easily allows large slope deviations on a tooth profile and trace. The hot-roll finishing can reduce the slope deviations, but induces form deviations especially on the profile. Tests of injection-molded and hot-roll-finished plastic gears were performed on a self-produced gear roller test rig and a self-produced fatigue rig, and a transmission error and load capacity were estimated. Compared with injection-molded gears, hot-roll-finished plastic gears showed small transmission error, while a load capacity was at the almost same level. As a result, the hot-roll finishing is effective for improving a transmission error of injection-molded plastic gears.

The injection molded plastic gears are widely used for rotation and power transmission for the reason of the low noise and the low cost. The deformed layer such as the skin layer appears easily in the tooth surface of the polyacetal gear. Therefore, authors studied the deformed layer actively applied in the two types of the low noise plastic gears. This paper describes the analysis and power examination of the polyacetal gears manufactured under the different molding conditions. The conclusion obtained are as following: (1) The temperatures difference of melted resin and the mold influences the hardness and the skin layer thickness of tooth. (2) The noise level becomes so low that the deformed layer produced for the gear’s tooth is thick. (3) The abrasive wear of gear is affected by the deformed layer, and the life of gear can be considered the moment when a noise level rose abnormally.

The issues of increasing the efficiency of electricity transmission to consumers with different nature of their load are considered. The dependence of the efficiency of the electric network of the oil field, consisting of a power line and a step-down transformer, on the total load power at various ratios between the active and reactive components of the power is analyzed, and the conditions under which the maximum transmission efficiency can be ensured are determined. It is shown by examples that the power transmission efficiency depends not only on the active load, but also largely on its reactive load. In the presence of a constant reactive load and an increase in active load, the total power increases and the power transmission efficiency decreases. In the low-load mode, the schedule for changing the power transmission efficiency approaches a parabolic form, since the influence of the active load on the amount of active power loss decreases, and their value will mainly depend on reactive load, which remains unchanged. The efficiency reaches its maximum value provided that the active and reactive components of the power are equal. In the case of a different ratio between them, the efficiency decreases. With a simultaneous increase in active and reactive loads and a constant value of the power factor, the power transmission efficiency is significantly reduced due to an increase in losses. With a constant active load and an increase in reactive load, efficiency of power transmission decreases, since with an increase in reactive load, losses of active power increase, while the active power remains unchanged. The second condition, under which the line efficiency will be maximum, is full compensation of reactive power.  Therefore, in order to increase the efficiency of power transmission, it is necessary to compensate for the reactive load, which can reduce the loss of electricity and the cost of its payment and improve the quality of electricity. Other methods are also proposed to increase the efficiency of power transmission by regulating the voltage level in the power center, reducing the equivalent resistance of the line wires, optimizing the loading of the transformers of the step-down substations and ensuring the economic modes of their operation.

Background: Detuning is the main problem that affects the efficiency and transmission distance of the resonant coupling Wireless Power Transmission (WPT). The distance of load and the offset of the load position could cause serious detuning. Methods: This paper presents an adjustable coil in which inductance can be adjusted. Then a model of WPT was established that could compensate resonant frequency automatically using the adjustable coil. Next, the relationship between the primary resonant frequency and the transmission efficiency is analyzed from the circuit. The analysis proved that the design of the adjustable coil could improve the transmission efficiency of the WPT system. Finally, a prototype of WPT system was built. Results: The experimental results showed that WPT system with adjustable coil can improve the transmission efficiency which proves the theoretical research. At the same time, it has essential reference value for the future research of WPT. Conclusion: In this paper, aiming at the system detuning caused by some other factors, such as the position shift of the load during the wireless power transmission, an adjustable coil is proposed.
