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.

Determination of dedendum circle diameter of ring gear in planetary gear drives is an important issue in preliminary design of electric motorcycle transmission. Genetic optimization is used to automate preliminary design of gears by minimizing volume of gear trains. An improved genetic optimization method was applied to a planetary gear transmission of electric motorcycle. Gray code way was applied in variable binary strings for improve research efficiency. Dynamic penalty functions were introduced to the objective function for handing the design constraints. The results were compared with a enumeration method usually applied. Improved GA produced quite well results promptly supplying design parameters of a planetary gear transmission.

Worm-gear drives for astronomical telescopes have associated with them certain requirements which cannot be effectively dealt with by applying standard design methods and parameters, since these drives differ in many ways from conventional power transmission gearing.
