The oil jet lubrication performance of a high-speed and heavy-load gear drive is significantly influenced and determined by the oil jet nozzle layout, as there is extremely limited meshing clearance for the impinging oil stream and an inevitable blocking effect by the rotating gears. A novel mathematical model for calculating the impingement depth of lubrication oil jetting on an orthogonal face gear surface has been developed based on meshing face gear theory and the oil jet lubrication process, and this model contains comprehensive design parameters for the jet nozzle layout and face gear pair. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) numerical simulations for the oil jet lubrication of an orthogonal face gear pair under different nozzle layout parameters show that a greater mathematically calculated jet impingement depth results in a greater oil volume fraction and oil pressure distribution. The influences of the jet nozzle layout parameters on the lubrication performance have been analyzed and optimized. The relationship between the measured tooth surface temperature from the experiments and the corresponding calculated impingement depth shows that a lower temperature appears in a situation with a greater impingement depth. Good agreement between the mathematical model with the numerical simulation and the experiment validates the effectiveness and accuracy of the method for evaluating the face gear oil jet lubrication performance when using the impingement depth mathematical model.

This article proposes the application of a profile-shifted grinding disc to generate an offset, non-orthogonal and profile-shifted face gear. A detailed investigation of the modelling, tooth geometry and contact characteristics of the offset, non-orthogonal and profile-shifted face gear has been conducted. The mathematical models of the profile-shifted shaper cutter, profile-shifted pinion, profile-shifted grinding disc and offset, non-orthogonal and profile-shifted face gear are established. Considering the topological modification, the tooth surface equation of the offset, non-orthogonal and profile-shifted face gear is deduced. Based on the undercutting and pointing of the tooth surface, the limiting tooth width of the offset, non-orthogonal and profile-shifted face gear is determined, and a mathematical model of tooth contact analysis of the offset, non-orthogonal and profile-shifted face gear drive is established with the alignment errors. Using the approach presented in this article, an example of an offset, non-orthogonal and profile-shifted face gear drive and analytical results are presented.

Based on the general mathematical model of Illés Dudás which is appropriate for mathematical modelling of production technology methods we have worked out a model for resharpening analysis of conical hob. After the hob resharpening using numerical calculations the determination of the tooth surface of face gear by cutting edges is necessary for the analysis. Based on this methods we could calculate the permissible critical angle of the hob and the profiles of the hob and the face gear in axial section. The permissible critical angle of the hob is the critical angle the hob cutting edge of which manufactured face gear profile is situated in the permissible profile error tolerance. We have worked out a new geometric conical worm gear drive that is the conical worm gear drive having arched profile. Using this mathematical model we have done resharpening analysis for the hob having arched profile and determined the permissible critical angle.

This paper proposes a modification method for tooth surface of face gear drive with a grinding worm on a numerical grinding machine. The surface equation of grinding worm is derived, and the coordinate System of generating the worm is established. Tooth contact analysis (TCA) is performed to investigate the performance of face gear drive before and after modification, and the alignment error is considered. This method can obtain a more stable bearing contact in contrast to the method by increasing tooth number of shaper. The longitudinal bearing contact on the face-gear tooth surface has been obtained which will increase the contact ratio. By modification the edge contact at surface edges of the gears can be avoided and the modification magnitude can be controlled freely.

Abstract This paper presents the kinematic study of the face gear drive system. The study includes three different configurations which are: (1) the on-center orthogonal face gear drive, (2) the on-center non-orthogonal face gear drive, and (3) the offset orthogonal face gear drive. The mathematical description for the gear meshing and the resulting face gear tooth surface is developed. This paper also presents the criteria for detecting the limitation of the effective face width due to tooth pointing and undercutting. The technique presented is applied to develop a computer program. This design automation tool allows visualizing the gear meshing and tooth geometry of the face gear drive.

The compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is a new type of gear transmission based on the cam mechanism and the curve-face gear pair. It combines the transmission characteristics of the cam mechanism and noncircular bevel gear. When the compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is engaged in the meshing transmission, the rotating center of the cylindrical gear is fixed and used as the driving wheel, and the curve-face gear can generate the helical motion around the axis. In this paper, the meshing characteristics and motion laws of the compound transmission mechanism of the curve-face gear are studied based on the theory of screw. Based on the meshing theory of gears, the coordinate system of conjugate surfaces is established, the basic meshing theory and equation are obtained. On this basis, combined with the principle of the cam, the transmission principle is analyzed by the screw theory. The tooth surface equation of the compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is deduced based on the meshing theory and the related knowledge of geometry. The motion law of the curve-face gear and the change of the motion law with the change of the basic parameters of the gear pair with different design parameters are calculated and analyzed. An experimental platform is built to verify the law of motion, and the experimental results are compared with the theoretical values. The correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified, which provides a new way for the research of the compound transmission mechanism of the curve-face gear.

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.

Design Variables

Tooth surface modifications are small, micron-level intentional deviations from perfect involute geometries of spur and helical gears. Such modifications are aimed at improving contact pressure distribution, while minimizing the motion transmission error to reduce noise excitations. In actual practice, optimal modification requirements vary with the operating torque level, misalignments, and manufacturing variance. However, most gear literature has been concerned with determining optimal flank form modifications at a single design point, represented by fixed, single load and misalignment values. A new approach to the design of tooth surface modifications is proposed to handle such conditions. The problem is formulated as a robust design optimization problem, and it is solved, in conjunction with an efficient gear contact solver (LDP), by a direct search, global optimization algorithm aimed at guaranteeing global optimality of the obtained micro-geometry solutions. Several tooth surface modifications can be used as micro-geometry design variables, including profile, lead, and bias modifications. Depending on the contact solver capabilities, multiple performance metrics can be considered. The proposed method includes the capability of simultaneously and robustly handling several conflicting design objectives. In the present paper, peak contact stress and loaded transmission error amplitude are used as objective functions (to be minimized). At the end, two example optimizations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
