The use of drives based on pan precession gears with a small shaft angle in which multiple-tooth meshing is implemented significantly increases the efficiency and transmitted torque in oil and gas equipment. It also and reduces the breakaway torque by almost an order in comparison with worm gears. The production of pan gears in the semi-rolled version significantly simplifies tooth cutting technology. To exclude the possibility of edge contact of the teeth coming into meshing due to their contact and bending deformations, it is necessary to carry out profile correction of the teeth. To address this issue, a method utilizing a tool with a straight cutting edge displaced from the axial plane of the tool is proposed. Using cutting of the wheel teeth of a semi-rolled pan gear with the proposed tool as an example, calculations of the total profile errors and the tooth surface curvatures are performed to further determine the contact loading of the gear.

High water production in oil and gas wells reduces significantly the recovery factor. Mechanical as well as chemical methods are applied to shut off water productive zones. Crosslinked polymers showed high efficiency to seal off water zones in high permeability sandstone and fractured carbonate reservoirs. Moreover, emulsified polymeric formulations have been introduced for deep profile modification by changing the wettability of the rock and hence allowing selective plugging of water. This poster provides an overview of the polymeric formulations used for such application.

Abstract For the hypoid gear pair of the heavy-duty vehicle drive axle machined by the duplex helical method, in order to avoid edge contact and stress concentration on the tooth surface, a four-segment tool profile is designed to modify the concave and convex surfaces simultaneously. First, the geometric model of the four-segment tool profile is established. Second, the mathematical model of the duplex helical method based on the four-segment tool profile is established, and the method of solving the tooth surface generated by the connecting points of the four-segment tool profile is given. Finally, the finite element method of loaded tooth contact analysis is used to analyze the meshing performance of the gear pair obtained by the four-segment tool profile modification, and the results are compared with the original gear pair. The results show that after the tooth surfaces are modified, the edge contact of the tooth surfaces are avoided, the stress distribution of the tooth surfaces are improved, the maximum contact stress of the tooth surfaces are reduced, and the fatigue and wear life of the tooth surface are improved.

This article presents a sphere–face gear pair by substituting the convex spherical gear for the pinion of a conventional face gear pair. The sphere–face gear pair not only maintains the advantages of the face gear pair with a longitudinally modified pinion but also allows variable shaft angles or large axial misalignments. Meshing characteristics of the proposed gear pair are studied in this article. The mathematical models of the sphere–face gear pair are derived based on machining principles. The tooth contact analysis (TCA) and curvature interference check are conducted for the sphere–face gear pair with variable shaft angles. The loaded TCA is also implemented utilizing the finite element method. The results of numerical examples show that proposed gear pair has the following features. Geometrical transmission error of constant shaft angle or varying shaft angle is zero; contact points of the sphere–face gear set with variable shaft angle are located near the centre region of face gear tooth surface; there is no curvature interference in meshing; and transmission continuity of the gear pair can be guaranteed in meshing.

Small worm gear drives are a common feature in the design of many types of apparatus, and the following description of the methods used for producing them in an experimental establishment may be of interest. Quantities are small, one or two to each pattern being the general rule, but there is certainly no lack of variety. The worms and wheels most often called for range in size up to 1½ inches and 6 inches diameter respectively, while pitches vary from 10 to 60 d.p. (diametral pitch). Addendum and dedendum proportions of 1/ PN and 1·25/ PN have been standardized, and a pressure angle of 20 deg. is adopted throughout. The gears are designed as hollow-faced helical (spiral) gears, and all calculations are based on the normal pitch. This is to enable standard hobs and cutters to be used for the worms. The shaft angle is usually 90 deg., but the angle of crossing may be varied up to 10 deg. either way on the particular machine employed for cutting the wheels. For many applications, backlash must be reduced to the very minimum consistent with smooth running; and to avoid the extreme accuracy of workmanship which an exact centre distance would necessitate, provision is usually made for adjustment of the worm. Although the Reinecker tangential feed method of worm wheel generation by a single-point tool —representing one tooth of a hob—is generally known, very little information on cutter forming is available. The method outlined was developed at the Admiralty Research Laboratory. Given the use of a modern worm grinder (not available), it should be possible to profile-relief grind these cutters after hardening.

Using electroplating CBN hard gear-honing-tools with standard involute, the vicinity of the workpiece tooth pitch circle will be a “mid concave” error, the root of the tooth will be a “dig root” error generally. For the formation factors of the error are more complex, it is difficult to calculate errors with an exact analytical method. To this end, by using Pro/E and ANSYS software, the contact analysis of electroplating CBN hard honing process was simulated. The honed tooth surface normal deformation analysis was the important means to determine extent of tooth profile error, through the normal deformation analysis based on simulation results, the location and extent of normal deformation was determined. Practice shows that the location and extent of the normal deformation has been a certain relationship with processing gear tooth profile errors. It is provided a theoretical basis to make the gear-honing tooth surface modification as possible.
