Spiral Bevel

The design of spiral bevel and hypoid gears that have a shaft extended from both sides of the cone apex (straddle design) is considered. A main difficulty of such a design is determining the length and diameter of the shaft that might be undercut by the head cutter during gear tooth generation. A method that determines the free space available for the gear shaft is proposed. The approach avoids collision between the shaft being designed and the head cutter during tooth generation. The approach is illustrated with a numerical example.

In this paper, a duplex spread blade method for cutting hypoid gears with modified tooth surface is proposed. The duplex spread blade method provides a rapid and economical manufacturing method because both the ring gear and pinion are cut by a spread blade method. In the proposed method, the nongenerated ring gear is manufactured with cutting edge that is altered from the usual straight line to a circular arc with a large radius of curvature and the circular arc cutting edge produces a modified tooth surface. The pinion is generated by a cutter with straight cutting edges as usual. The main procedure of this method is the determination of the cutter specifications and machine settings. The proposed method was validated by gear manufacture.

Flank Surface

In the manufacturing of spiral-bevel and hypoid gears, circular cutter dimensions are usually based on the desired performance of a gear set. In large manufacturing operations, where several hundred gear geometries may have been cut over the years, the necessary cutter inventory may become quite large since the cutter diameters will differ from one geometry to another, which results in used storage space and associated costs in purchasing and maintaining the cutter parts. Interchangeability of cutters is therefore of significant interest to reduce cost while maintaining approved tooth geometries. An algorithm is presented which allows the use of a different cutter, either in diameter and/or pressure angle, to obtain the same tooth flank surface topography. A test case is presented to illustrate the usefulness of the method: the OB cutter diameter of an hypoid pinion is changed from 8.9500" to 9.1000". CMM results and the comparison of the bearing patterns before and after change show excellent correlation, and indicate that the new pinion can be used in place of the original pinion without performance or quality problems. Significant cost reductions may be obtained with the application of the method.

The Transmission Error and Bearing Pattern of a gear set are fundamental aspects of its meshing behavior. To assess the validity of gear simulation models, the Transmission Error and Bearing Pattern of a Formate Hypoid gear set are measured under a variety of operating positions and applied loads. Measurement data are compared to simulation results of Tooth Contact Analysis and Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis models, and show excellent agreement for the considered test gear set.

Tool Profile

A method for the determination of optimal tooth modifications in hypoid gears based on improved load distribution and reduced transmission errors is presented. The modifications are introduced into the pinion tooth surface by using a cutter with bicircular profile and optimal diameter. In the optimization of tool parameters the influence of shaft misalignments of the mating members is included. As the result of these modifications a point contact of the meshed teeth surfaces appears instead of line contact; the hypoid gear pair becomes mismatched. By using the method presented in (Simon, V., 2000, “Load Distribution in Hypoid Gears,” ASME J. Mech. Des., 122, pp. 529–535) the influence of tooth modifications introduced on tooth contact and transmission errors is investigated. Based on the results that was obtained the radii and position of circular tool profile arcs and the diameter of the cutter for pinion teeth generation were optimized. By applying the optimal tool parameters, the maximum tooth contact pressure is reduced by 16.22% and the angular position error of the driven gear by 178.72%, in regard to the hypoid gear pair with a pinion manufactured by a cutter of straight-sided profile and of diameter determined by the commonly used methods.

In order to make the substituted circular arc generating lines be a series easily, based on the principles of cutting hypoid gears by generating-line method and the pinion generating lines substituting method, an optimization which the objective was to make the substituted circular arc generating lines radiuses of pinion be integers or approximate integers was proposed. The feasibility of this optimization method was verified by the calculating example of a pair of hypoid gears.
