This paper proposes an approach for calculating the transmission ratio of nutation drive based on the working principle of the nutation movements. Then, the analysis of the influences for the nutation angle on the transmission ratio is carried out. The controllable tooth profile modelling for external and internal spiral bevel gears with double circular-arc is proposed. Based on the proposed tooth profile modeling, the three dimensional modeling and virtual assembly of the nutation drive have been further completed. Finally, the kinematical simulation is preceded in the simulating system and the comparative results have been accomplished between the simulation results and the theoretical ones of the transmission ratio.

A modelling method for analyzing the three-dimensional thermal behavior of spiral bevel gears has been developed. The model surfaces are generated through application of differential geometry to the manufacturing process for face-milled spiral bevel gears. Contact on the gear surface is found by combining tooth contact analysis with three-dimensional Hertzian theory. The tooth contact analysis provides the principle curvatures and orientations of the two surfaces. This information is then used directly in the Hertzian analysis to find the contact size and maximum pressure. Heat generation during meshing is determined as a function of the applied load, sliding velocity, and coefficient of friction. Each of these factors change as the point of contact changes during meshing. A nonlinear finite element program was used to conduct the heat transfer analysis. This program permitted the time- and position-varying boundary conditions, found in operation, to be applied to a one-tooth model. An example model and analytical results are presented.

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.

Two three-dimensional lumped parameter dynamic models of spiral bevel gears are presented and compared. The first approach is classic and relies on a single averaged mesh stiffness element connecting the gears whereas a time-varying non-linear distribution of discrete stiffness elements over the potential contact area is used in the second model.
