Manufacturing Process for Circular-Arc Curvilinear Cylindrical Gears with Predesigned Fourth Order Transmission Error

Abstract:

A fourth order transmission error was employed to improve the stability and tooth strength of circular-arc curvilinear cylindrical gears. The coefficient of fourth order polynomial curve was determined, the imaginary rack cutter which formed by the rotation of a head cutter and the imaginary pinion were introduced to determine the pinion and gear tooth surfaces, respectively. The numerical simulation of meshing shows: 1) the fourth order transmission error can be achieved by the proposed method; 2) the stability transmission can be performed by increasing the angle of the transfer point of the cycle of meshing; 3) the tooth fillet strength can be enhanced.
