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.

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 by changing the cutter 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 [1] 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 cutter diameter 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 the blank design of spiral bevel and hypoid gears, the face cone is defined as an imaginary cone tangent to the tops of the teeth. Traditionally, the face cone element or generatrix is a straight line. On the other hand, the tooth root lines which are traced by the blade tips are normally not straight lines. As a result, the tooth top geometry generally does not fit the mating member’s real root shape, providing an uneven tooth root-tip clearance; additionally, in some cases root-tip interference between the tooth tip and the root tooth surfaces of the mating gear members may be observed. To address this issue, this paper describes a method of determining an optimized face cone element for spiral bevel and hypoid gears. The method is based on the incorporation of calculation of tooth surface and root geometries, the conjugate relationship of the mating gear members, the ease-off topography, and the tooth contact analysis. The resulting face cone element may not be a straight line but generally an optimized curve that, in addition to avoidance of the interference, offers maximized contact ratio and even tooth root-tip clearance. Manufacturing of bevel gear blanks with a curved face cone element can be implemented by using computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines.

In this paper a method is described for the calculation of the dished and pencil grinding wheel profiles for relief grinding of hobs for manufacturing spur, helical, and worm gears. Archimedean, convolute, involute, and ground worm gear drives are dealt with. For the purposes of control of the calculated grinding wheel profiles and of the determination of the generation error in the case of the profile curve approximation to a straight-line or a circular arc, the method contains the calculation of the hob tooth profile, relief ground with a grinding wheel of the calculated or approximated axial profile.

The geometry of the tooth surface is important for tooth contact analysis, load tooth contact analysis and the ease-off of gear pairs. This paper presents a mathematical model for the determination of the tooth geometry of Klingelnberg face-hobbed hypoid gears. The formulation for the generation of gear and pinion tooth surfaces and the equations for the tooth surface coordinates are provided in the paper. The surface coordinates and normal vectors are calculated and tooth surfaces and 3D tooth geometries of gear and pinion are obtained. This method may also applied to other face-hobbing gears.

Methods for synthesis and analysis Hypoid gears generated by Helixform and Formabe methods are suggested. The article is a three-part one divided according to the considered stages of synthesis and analysis: (a) the determination of machine settings for the member-gear manufacture (after that tooth surface of the member-gear can be obtained); (b) machine setting calculations for the pinion on the base of the local synthesis for gears with approximate meshing; (c) methods for analysis (in the whole area of meshing) and optional synthesis for the mismatch gearing and its application for Hypoid gears.

The main objective of this paper is to study the effect of gear geometry on the discharge of gear pumps. We have used gears of circular-arc tooth profile as gear pumps and have compared between these types of gearing and spur, helical gear pumps according to discharge. The chosen module change from 2 to 16 mm, number of teeth change from 8 to 20 teeth, pressure angle change from 10 to 30 deg, face width change from 20 to 120 mm, correction factor change from −1 to 1, helix angle change from 5 to 30 deg, and radii of curvature equal 1.4, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 2.75, and 3m are considered. The authors deduced that the tooth rack profile with radius of curvature equal 2.5, 2.75, 3m for all addendum circular arc tooth and convex-concave tooth profile, and derived equations representing the tooth profile, and calculated the points of intersections between curves of tooth profile. We drive the formulas for the volume of oil between adjacent teeth. Computer program has been prepared to calculate the discharge from the derived formulae with all variables for different types of gear pumps. Curves showing the change of discharge with module, number of teeth, pressure angle, face width, correction factor, helix angle, and radius of curvature are presented. The results show that: 1) The discharge increases with increasing module, number of teeth, positive correction factor, face width and radius of curvature of the tooth. 2) The discharge increases with increasing pressure angle to a certain value and then decreases with increasing pressure angle. 3) The discharge decreases with increasing helix angle. 4) The convex-concave circular-arc gears gives discharge higher than that of alla ddendum circular arc, spur, and helical gear pumps respectively. 5) A curve fitting of the results are done and the following formulae derived for the discharge of involute and circular arc gear pumps respectively: Q=A1bm2z0.895e0.065xe0.0033αe−0.0079βQ=A2bm2z0.91ρ10.669e−0.0047β

Most of the approximate theories of the spherical open resonators are insufficient, except for the very large radius of curvature. It is often necessary to consider other cases. The theory we have developed is applicable for any curvature and aperture of the mirrors. This theory also allows study of multi-dielectric cavities. This method is accurately studied in detail in this paper.

This article presents a method for designing a planar guide device that can guide sliders to move along a straight-curved rail and can eliminate the backlash between the slider and the rail throughout the whole range of the slider travel. The guide device has many sliders and each slider has three rollers that can separately roll on both sides of the rail. The straight-curved rail is composed of straight sections, connection sections, and circular-arc sections. For each slider, the three normal lines through the contact points between the rollers and the rail must always intersect at a common point, which is an instant center. Using this as a basis, the side profiles of the straight-curved rail can be determined. To avoid infinite jerk of the slider motion, the pitch curve of the connection section should consist of a transition curve, which is interposed between the straight line and the circular arc.
