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: The die accuracy and die service life reduce due to die wear during precision forming processes of steel synchronizer gear ring. The most serious part of wear is the middle between two tooth shapes. The rules of the wear and initial die hardness and frictional coefficient are analyzed based on numerical simulation. It shows that the higher of the initial die hardness, the better antiwear and good lubrication is benefit to reduce wear and prolong the die service life. The effect of the temperature on die life is reflected through hardness. The relationship of die hardness and die temperature, forming time is deduced. The higher of the die temperature and the longer of the forging time, the more serious of die wear. To prolong the die life and improve the quality of forgings, the synthetic forming technology is adopted and the ejection way and control system of the Plate Friction Press are improved. Experiment verification shows that the die service life has been prolonged.
