The Edge Effect and Longitudinal Modification of Involute Gear Drive Used in Automobile

Article Preview

Abstract:

Via combining parameterized modeling function of Pro/E with gear mesh principle, the accurate 3-D crowning modification models of involute gears used in automobile are made. The edge effect in meshing process of the gear pair is validated by finite element method. The longitudinal corrections of a gear pair are designed combining crowning technology of roller bearings with the characteristic of gear mesh and using gear mesh principle and contact mechanics theory. Then it is testified by FEA that the maximum stresses of the gears can be reduced effectively since longitudinal correction can avoid the edge effect in the meshing process of the gear pair.
