To obtain the change tendency of the wheel’s angular velocity and tangential component of contact force with time of the pinion under the step input during spiral bevel gear meshing, the tooth flank equation of spiral bevel gear was constructed based on the Non-Uniform Rational B-splines curve. The three-dimensional model of the pinion and the wheel were built based on the tooth flank equation. The calculation equation and relative parameters set for the contact force of spiral bevel gear meshing were done based on the Hertz contact theory. A mating of spiral bevel gears was taken as an example for dynamics simulation and the simulation results show that the relative error rate of the angular velocity between simulation and theoretical calculation is 0.054%, and that the relative error rate of tangential component of the contact force between simulation and theoretical calculation is 4.82%. These findings provide the theoretical basis for dynamic characteristics optimization of the spiral bevel gears.

Abstract To improve the meshing performance and increase the bearing capacity and service life of spiral gear pairs, the cutter head approximation machining method based on controlling topological deviations was proposed to solve the problem where line contact spiral bevel gears with tapered teeth depth cannot be directly machined by cutter heads. First, the mathematical model of line contact conjugate flanks was established, and meshing equations and conjugate flank equations of bevel gear pairs were derived. Second, the gear tooth flank was set as the datum tooth flank for priority machining, and the pinion theoretical tooth flank which is fully conjugate with the gear tooth flank and the pinion machining tooth flank matching with the gear were solved. Then, the geometric topological deviations model of the comparison between the pinion machining tooth flank and its theoretical tooth flank can be established. Finally, with the pinion machining tooth flank approaching its theoretical tooth flank as the modification, the additional cutting motions and machining compensation parameters of cutter heads were obtained to control the pinion machining tooth flank deviations and reduce them to the allowable deviations of its theoretical tooth flank. The contact simulation analysis and rolling test verified the correctness of the line contact conjugate flank model and feasibility of the cutter head approximation machining method.

High-speed heavy-load spiral bevel gears put forward high requirement for flexural strength; shot peening is a technique that greatly improves the bending fatigue strength of gears. During shot peening, a large number of fine pellets bombard the surface of the metal target material at very high speeds and let the target material undergo plastic deformation, at the same time strengthening layer is produced. Spiral bevel gear as the object of being bombarded inevitably brought the tooth surface micro-morphology changes. In this article, we aim to reveal the effect of microtopography of tooth shot peening on gear lubrication in spiral bevel gear, try to establish a reasonable description of the microscopic morphology for tooth surface by shot peening, to reveal the lubrication characteristics of spiral bevel gears after shot peening treatment based on the lubrication theory, and do comparative research on the surface lubrication characteristics of a variety of microstructures.

In this paper, an active design method of meshing line for a spiral bevel gear mechanism with nonrelative sliding is presented. First, the general meshing line equations for a nonrelative sliding transmission mechanism between two orthogonal axes are proposed based on the active design parameters. Then, parametric equations for contact curves on the drive and driven spiral bevel gears are deduced by coordinate transformation of the meshing line equations. Further to this, parametric equations for the tooth surface of each bevel gear are derived according to the conical spiral motion of a generatrix circle along the calculated contact curves. Finally, a set of numerical examples is presented based on two types of motion equation of the meshing points. Material prototypes are fabricated and experimentally tested to validate the kinematic performance of the functionally designed spiral bevel gear set.

Abstract Kinematical optimization and sensitivity analysis of circular-cut spiral bevel gears are investigated in this paper. Based on the Gleason spiral bevel gear generator and EPG test machine, a mathematical model is proposed to simulate the tooth contact conditions of the spiral bevel gear set. All the machine settings and assembly data are simulated by simplified parameters. The tooth contact patterns and kinematic errors are obtained by the proposed mathematical model and the tooth contact analysis techniques. Loaded tooth contact patterns are obtained by the differential geometry and the Hertz contact formulas. Tooth surface sensitivity due to the variation of machine settings is studied. The corrective machine settings can be calculated by the sensitive matrix and the linear regression method. An optimization algorithm is also developed to minimize the kinematic errors and the discontinuity of tooth meshing. According to the proposed studies, an improved procedure for development of spiral bevel gears is suggested. The results of this paper can be applied to determine the sensitivity and precision requirements in manufacturing, and improve the running quality of the spiral bevel gears. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the applications of the optimization model.

To minimize the running vibration of spiral bevel gear, an optimization design method for vibration control is presented with the model of meshing impact. Firstly, based on the impact model of spiral bevel gears considering tooth deformation, the initial meshing position, meshing stiffness, and the meshing impact is studied. Secondly, the effects of load torque and rotation speed on meshing impact are analyzed. Thirdly, a mathematical model for pinion generator is built with following parameters: tool parameters, initial machine settings, and polynomial coefficients of auxiliary flank modification motion. The polynomial coefficients of the auxiliary flank modification motion are determined by optimizing the minimum impact velocity. Finally, a numerical simulation is performed. The results shows that load torque and pinion rotational speed impose significant influences on the impact. The impact velocity increases with the increase of load torque and pinion rotation speed. With load torque increasing, impact force tends to increase first and then decrease because of meshing stiffness changes, finally impact force increases dramatically due to additional load. The advantages of spiral bevel gear under the optimization of impact velocity in meshing impact are obviously. The accuracy and scientificity of the method presented in the paper for calculating the initial meshing point and meshing stiffness of complicated tooth surfaces is verified. The optimized gear obtained by the optimization method presented in the paper is also proved that owns the lowest meshing impact in the design load range. The proposed optimization method can reduce meshing impact and improve the dynamic meshing performance of spiral bevel gear. This method also can be used for optimum design of other types of gears.

The dynamics of spiral bevel gears have gained increasing importance due to concerns relating to noise and durability. This is because the mesh force acting on the gear teeth is amplified under dynamic conditions, potentially reducing the fatigue life of the gears. Furthermore, a sizable dynamic force can be transmitted to the housing, inducing structure-born gear whine. The elasticity of the bearings can influence the dynamics of spiral bevel gears. In this article, the finite element formulation of a spiral bevel geared rotor dynamic system is applied to investigate the influence of bearing elasticity on the dynamics of spiral bevel gears. The designs and configurations of rear axles are modeled and analyzed for real-world applications, to gain an enhanced practical understanding of the effect of bearing stiffness on spiral bevel gear dynamics.
