ISBN:
Category : Gearing, Spiral
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
The contents of ths report covers: (i) development of optimal geometry for crowned helical gears; (ii) method for their generation; (iii) tooth contact analysis (TCA) computer programs for the analysis of meshing and bearing contact and guarantee the favorable shape and low level of the transmission errors. Two new methods for generation of the crowned helical pinion surface have been proposed. One is based on application of the tool with a surface of revolution that slightly deviates from a regular cone surface. The tool can be used as a grinding wheel or as a shaver. The other is based on crowning pinion tooth surface with predesigned transmission errors. The pinion tooth surface can be generated by a computer controlled automatic grinding machine. The TCA program simulates the meshing and bearing contract of misaligned gears. The transmission errors are also determined. Keywords: Helical gears; Crowned gears; Gear geometry; Tooth contact analysis. (JES).

Computerized Generation and Simulation of Meshing of Modified Spur and Helical Gears Manufactured by Shaving

Pages : 30
Book Description
Modification of geometry of spur and helical gears with parallel axes and helical gears with crossed axes is proposed. The finishing process of gear generation is shaving. The purposes of modification of the gear geometry are to localize and stabilize the bearing contact, and to reduce noise and vibration. The goals mentioned above are achieved by using profile crowning and plunging the shaver by a prescribed motion during pinion generation. The pinion becomes double crowned. The gear member is generated as a conventional involute gear. A tooth contact analysis (TCA) program for simulation of meshing and contact was developed and the analysis is illustrated with TCA results for spur and helical gears.

The Geometry of Involute Gears

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461247640
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 539
Book Description
Of all the many types of machine elements which exist today, gears are among the most commonly used. The basic idea of a wheel with teeth is extremely simple, and dates back several thousand years. It is obvious to any observer that one gear drives another by means of the meshing teeth, and to the person who has never studied gears, it might seem that no further explanation is required. It may therefore come as a surprise to discover the large quantity of geometric theory that exists on the subject of gears, and to find that there is probably no branch of mechanical engineering where theory and practice are more closely linked. Enormous improvements have been made in the performance of gears during the last two hundred years or so, and this has been due principally to the careful attention given to the shape of the teeth. The theoretical shape of the tooth profile used in most modern gears is an involute. When precision gears are cut by modern gear-cutting machines, the accuracy with which the actual teeth conform to their theoretical shape is quite remarkable, and far exceeds the accuracy which is attained in the manufacture of most other types of machine elements. The first part of this book deals with spur gears, which are gears with teeth that are parallel to the gear axis. The second part describes helical gears, whose teeth form helices about the gear axis.

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Gearing, Spiral
Languages : en
Pages : 8
Book Description
Analysis of helical involute gears by tooth contact analysis shows that such gears are very sensitive to angular misalignment that leads to edge contact and the potential for high vibration. A new topology of tooth surfaces of helical gears that enables a favorable bearing contact and a reduced level of vibration is described. Methods for grinding of the helical gears with the new topology are proposed. ATCA program for simulation of meshing and contact of helical gears with the new topology has been developed. Numerical examples that illustrate the proposed ideas are discussed.

Direct Gear Design

Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1439876185
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Over the last several decades, gearing development has focused on improvements in materials, manufacturing technology and tooling, thermal treatment, and coatings and lubricants. In contrast, gear design methods have remained frozen in time, as the vast majority of gears are designed with standard tooth proportions. This over-standardization significantly limits the potential performance of custom gear drives, especially in demanding aerospace or automotive applications. Direct Gear Design introduces an alternate gear design approach to maximize gear drive performance in custom gear applications. Developed by the author, the Direct Gear Design® method has been successfully implemented in a wide variety of custom gear transmissions over the past 30 years. The results are maximized gear drive performance, increased transmission load capacity and efficiency, and reduced size and weight. This book explains the method clearly, making it easy to apply to actual gear design. Describes the origin and theoretical foundations of the Direct Gear Design approach as well as some of its applications—and its limits Details the optimization techniques and the specifics of Direct Gear Design Discusses how this approach can be used with asymmetric gears to further improve performance Describes tolerance selection, manufacturing technologies, and measurement methods of custom gears Compares Direct Gear Design with traditional gear design from both an analytical and an experimental perspective Illustrates the applicability and benefits of this gear design approach with implementation examples Written by an engineer for engineers, this book presents a unique alternative to traditional gear design. It inspires readers to explore ways of improving gear transmission performance in custom gear applications, from higher transmission load capacity, efficiency, and reliability to lower size, weight, and cost.

Modified Involute Helical Gears: Computerized Design, Simulation of Meshing and Stress Analysis
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
The computerized design, methods for generation, simulation of meshing, and enhanced stress analysis of modified involute helical gears is presented. The approaches proposed for modification of conventional involute helical gears are based on conjugation of double-crowned pinion with a conventional helical involute gear. Double-crowning of the pinion means deviation of cross-profile from an involute one and deviation in longitudinal direction from a helicoid surface. Using the method developed, the pinion-gear tooth surfaces are in point-contact, the bearing contact is localized and oriented longitudinally, and edge contact is avoided. Also, the influence of errors of alignment on the shift of bearing contact, vibration, and noise are reduced substantially. The theory developed is illustrated with numerical examples that confirm the advantages of the gear drives of the modified geometry in comparison with conventional helical involute gears.
