Meshing Efficiency of Involute Helical Gears Based on Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication

Article Preview

Abstract:

To analyze the dynamic efficiency of helical gear during meshing process, a meshing efficiency model based on elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) was established. The meshing plane between the pinion and gear was divided into seven parts in accordance to the regularity of unit load distribution. The total meshing power lose and average meshing power lose were calculated through a double integration method. The simulation results show that the method is feasible to calculate the meshing efficiency of gear pairs.
