Abstract The most common gear architecture used in external gear pumps is the spur gear with an involute tooth profile. The involute spur gear has many benefits, such as a constant line of action, tolerance to parallel misalignment, and ease of fabrication. However, the involute spur gear has two major drawbacks in pump applications: the tooth profile results in trapped pockets of fluid that contribute to pressure spikes and noise generation, and the straight axial profile further increases noise due to intermittent tooth shock during meshing. Current state-of-the-art pumps utilize helical gears to enable a gradual mesh to reduce noise and pressure pulsation, which results in an axial load induced on the gears during meshing. A novel gear design has been developed that eliminates axial gear loading while preserving a gradual mesh. A hybrid tooth profile eliminates the trapped fluid pocket while maintaining the benefits of an involute profile. Initial testing demonstrates an increase in volumetric efficiency by 10% and a reduction of sound level by 7 dB compared to a spur gear of the same size.

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.
