Pointing-lapping is a lapping way for modifying tooth surface defects of hypoid gears. For numerical control, V/H/J calculation principle of pointing-lapping of hypoid gears is introduced. According to mesh relations and coordinate relations, 8 nonlinear equations are formed on the basis of mesh theory of hypoid gears. V/H/J can be got by solving the nonlinear equations, which can be finished easily by computation program. The accuracy of the calculation principle has been proved by tooth surface contact pattern test in Y9550 roll checking machine.

Modeling of tooth surface generation and simulation of contact is an important part of computerized design and manufacturing of spiral bevel and hypoid gears. This paper presents new developments in this subject. Specifically, the paper covers: (i) development of a generic model of tooth surface generation for spiral bevel and hypoid gears produced by face-milling and face-hobbing processes conducted on free-form computer numerical control (CNC) hypoid gear generators which are incorporated with the Universal Motions Concept (UMC); (ii) a modified algorithm of tooth contact simulation with reduced number of equations of the nonlinear iterations and stabilized iteration convergence; and (iii) an algorithm of numerical determination of contact lines that form the contact patterns. The enhanced approach of contact simulation can be generally applied to other forms of gearings. Two examples, a face-hobbing design and a face-milling design, are illustrated to verify the implementation of the developed algorithms.

In this paper, a duplex spread blade method for cutting hypoid gears with modified tooth surface is proposed. The duplex spread blade method provides a rapid and economical manufacturing method because both the ring gear and pinion are cut by a spread blade method. In the proposed method, the nongenerated ring gear is manufactured with cutting edge that is altered from the usual straight line to a circular arc with a large radius of curvature and the circular arc cutting edge produces a modified tooth surface. The pinion is generated by a cutter with straight cutting edges as usual. The main procedure of this method is the determination of the cutter specifications and machine settings. The proposed method was validated by gear manufacture.

Tool Profile

A method for the determination of optimal tooth modifications in hypoid gears based on improved load distribution and reduced transmission errors is presented. The modifications are introduced into the pinion tooth surface by using a cutter with bicircular profile and optimal diameter. In the optimization of tool parameters the influence of shaft misalignments of the mating members is included. As the result of these modifications a point contact of the meshed teeth surfaces appears instead of line contact; the hypoid gear pair becomes mismatched. By using the method presented in (Simon, V., 2000, “Load Distribution in Hypoid Gears,” ASME J. Mech. Des., 122, pp. 529–535) the influence of tooth modifications introduced on tooth contact and transmission errors is investigated. Based on the results that was obtained the radii and position of circular tool profile arcs and the diameter of the cutter for pinion teeth generation were optimized. By applying the optimal tool parameters, the maximum tooth contact pressure is reduced by 16.22% and the angular position error of the driven gear by 178.72%, in regard to the hypoid gear pair with a pinion manufactured by a cutter of straight-sided profile and of diameter determined by the commonly used methods.

Because the contact bearings of spiral bevel and hypoid gears are highly sensitive to tooth flank geometry, it is desirable to reduce the flank deviations caused by machine errors and heat treatment deformation. Several methods already proposed for flank correction are based on the cutter parameters, machine settings, and kinematical flank motion parameters of a cradle-type universal generator, which are modulated according to the measured flank topographic deviations. However, because of the recently developed six-axis Cartesian-type computer numerical control (CNC) hypoid generator, both face-milling and face-hobbing cutting methods can be implemented on the same machine using a corresponding cutter head and NC code. Nevertheless, the machine settings and flank corrections of most commercial Cartesian-type machines are still translated from the virtual cradle-type universal hypoid generator. In contrast, this paper proposes a flank-correction methodology derived directly from the six-axis Cartesian-type CNC hypoid generator in which high-order correction is easily achieved through direct control of the CNC axis motion. The validity of this flank correction method is demonstrated using a numerical example of Oerlikon Spirac face-hobbing hypoid gears made by the proposed Cartesian-type CNC machine.

Novel Design

In this paper, a novel modified scheme and effective computer representation for design of a plunge shaving cutter is presented. The paper aims to develop a novel design of shaving cutter for plunge shaving of precision involute gears. The study is carried out on the premise of satisfaction of the fifth necessary condition of proper part surface generation (PSG) when designing the plunge shaving cutter. In the current study, the author’s earlier developed DG/K method of surface generation is used together with the principal elements of analytical mechanics of gears. (The DG/K method is based on fundamental results obtained in differential geometry of surfaces, and on kinematics of multi-parametric motion of a rigid body in the E3 space. The interested reader may wish to go for details to the monograph: Radzevich, S.P., Fundamentals of Surface Generation, Monograph, Kiev, Rastan, 2001, 592 pp., and to: Radzevich, S.P., Sculptured Surface Machining on Multi-Axis NC Machine, Monograph, Kiev, Vishcha Schola, 1991, 192 pp.) In the particular case under consideration, the method employs (a) an analytical description of the gear tooth surface to be machined, (b) configuration of the plunge shaving cutter relative to the involute gear, (c) analytical representation of the coordinate systems transformations, and (d) the fifth condition of proper PSG that is adapted to finishing of precision involute gears. The fifth condition of proper PSG is investigated in the paper. On the premise of the obtained results of the investigation, a novel design of plunge shaving cutter for finishing of precision involute gears is proposed. The developed novel design of plunge shaving cutter can be used on shaving machines available on the market, e.g. on Gleason’s new Genesis™ 130SV computer numerical control (CNC) shaving machine.

Safe Basin

Tooth surface contact deformation is part of the main causes for gear system vibration. The safety region of the single-stage spur system vibration is established based on the tooth surface contact deformation. Safe basin and its erosion are calculated numerically according to the safety region as the system control parameters are varied. The basin of attraction in the safe basin is computed by combining the simple cell-to-cell method. Vibration safety and global dynamics of the gear system are investigated. Some bifurcations and mechanisms of the erosion of safe basin are studied by using phase portraits, Poincaré maps, bifurcation diagrams under multi-initial values and top Lyapunov exponents (TLE). The sensitivity of system behavior and bifurcation to initial values are discussed as well. Hidden bifurcating points and attractors are revealed. To get a better understanding of the sensitivity of the system behavior to initial values, a bifurcation dendrogram under multi-initial values is designed. It is found that there is the erosion of safe basin existing in the examining area. Both vibration amplitude changing of coexisting attractors and appearing or disappearing of coexisting attractors are the main causes for the erosion of the safe basin. Bifurcation of the system behavior is selective to initial values. With varying frequency, backlash and comprehensive transmission error, the period-1 response gradually bifurcates under multi-initial conditions and evolves into other new periodic responses that coexist with the period-1 response. The new coexisting response has a key effect on the erosion of the safe basin. The study is helpful to the optimization design of the gear system and the control of the system behavior.

A practical method based on normal gaps topography is proposed here for loaded tooth contact analysis of WN gear having tooth surface deviations. The simulation of meshing state and tooth strength of WN gear are provided with real tooth surfaces. In the study normal gaps distribution is adopted to calculate tooth surface contact elastic deformation and local deviations due to manufacturing errors and tooth surface wear. For WN gear, the loaded distribution on the contact zone in meshing tooth surface has not been investigated because of their complexity in the contact state. The finite element method is adopted to analyze the contact pattern and tooth strength. The study has concretely calculated the contact pressure and zone of meshing in different loaded and transmission error. At the end examples are analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in quantifying effect of such deviations on the loaded distribution and tooth stress distribution.

Spiral Bevel

The purpose of this paper is to propose a pair of external and internal spiral bevel gears with double circular-arc in the nutation drive. Based on the movement of nutation, this paper develops equations of the tooth profiles for the gear set, leading to the mathematical modeling of the spiral bevel gear with a constant helical angle gear alignment curve, enabling the tooth surface to be generated, and permitting the theoretical contacting lines to be produced in light of the meshing function. Simulation and verification are carried out to prove the mathematical equations. Numerical control (NC) simulation of machining the external and internal double circular-arc spiral bevel gears is developed, and the spiral gears were manufactured on a NC milling machine. The prototype of the nutation drive is illustrated in the case study at the end of this paper.
