Abstract: The meshing force between pin wheels and gear teeth of modified and standard cycloidal gears is calculated. The parametric model of cycloidal gear and pin wheels is built. The flexible processing of cycloidal gear and pin wheel is conducted using Ansys software. The virtual prototype of cycloid reducer is built. The dynamic simulation of rigid-flexible coupling of modified and standard cycloidal gears has been developed, respectively. The meshing force with friction is calculated and the maximum equivalent stress is obtained. A comparison study of the meshing force using theoretical method is also carried out. It is significant to provide theoretical and technical supports for cycloidal gear design.

Abstract: This paper aims to propose a design method for tooth profiles of spur gears based on given line of action. A simplified derivation of the mathematical model of tooth profiles is introduced according to the meshing theory. Tooth profiles of spur gears, using a parabola as line of action, is established. The result shows that it will be better to control the performances of a gear set by specifying the shape of the line of action rather than specifying tooth profiles of mating gear.

Abstract: A new type of spherical gear drive, which takes micro-segment involute profile as tooth profile, is presented in this paper. The generation principle of the spherical gear is described. The mathematical models including the equation of micro-segment involute profile, the equation of the conjugate tooth profile and the engagement equation, are established based on the meshing theory. This new type of spherical gear drive has the potential to improve the load capacity and the performance of spherical gear transmission.

Abstract: This research aimed to propose an initiative design method for tooth profiles based on the given small sliding coefficients. A simplified derivation of the mathematical model of tooth profiles is presented. A design example is provided to illustrate the approach. The results show that tooth profiles designed by the proposed method have the small sliding coefficient. It is significant to improve the wear and friction properties and raise the life span of gears.
