Optimizing Spur Gears for Robotic Transmissions: Surface Finish Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study examines the influence of surface finish and geometric parameters on the performance of spur gears used in robotic transmissions. It investigates gear manufacturing errors and their impact on performance, durability, and quality, aiming to optimize gear design parameters for high precision, durability, and load-carrying capabilities. Experimental studies were conducted, revealing that smoother surfaces lead to lower friction and wear. Geometric parameters play a crucial role in optimizing gear meshing and alignment, directly affecting torque transmission and noise levels. The study emphasizes the importance of analyzing these factors for improving the efficiency, precision, and lifespan of robotic applications.
