Abstract
Abstract. Based on the space curve meshing equation, a novel helical gear mechanism with improved geometry is presented. First, equations of the theoretical contact curves were derived based on the space curve meshing theory. Then, tooth surfaces with a concave–convex meshing form were constructed, depending on the contact curves. The tooth profiles were improved as the theoretical contact curves were corrected by predestining the designed transmission errors. The effect of the center distance error on the transmission errors was studied, and the effects of gear modifications on
transmission errors and maximum contact stresses were also investigated.
The results show that the transmission error curves of the improved gear
drive become much smoother. Maximum contact stresses of the improved
gear drive are decreased synchronously.
期刊介绍:
The journal Mechanical Sciences (MS) is an international forum for the dissemination of original contributions in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics. Its main ambition is to provide a platform for young researchers to build up a portfolio of high-quality peer-reviewed journal articles. To this end we employ an open-access publication model with moderate page charges, aiming for fast publication and great citation opportunities. A large board of reputable editors makes this possible. The journal will also publish special issues dealing with the current state of the art and future research directions in mechanical sciences. While in-depth research articles are preferred, review articles and short communications will also be considered. We intend and believe to provide a means of publication which complements established journals in the field.
