A complete tooth geometry of the circular-cut spiral bevel gears has been mathematically modeled. The mathematical model has been divided into several independent modules, each representing an individual kinematic relation or tool-setting, with examples included. A comparison with the spiraloid model has also been made in this paper. The mathematical model can be applied to simulate and calculate the tooth profiles for the Duplex Method, Helical Duplex Method, Formate Method, and Modified Roll Method for circular-cut spiral bevel gears. It can also be applied to the computer numerical controlled (CNC) machining, computer-aided finite element stress analysis, and tooth contact analysis (TCA) for the spiral bevel gear.

Internal Meshing

The general mathematical model of internal meshing spiral bevel gears for nutation drive is studied. Based on conventional enveloping theory and transmission principle, the meshing of two spiral bevel gears in nutation drive was substituted by the meshing of an imaginary rotating crown gear engaging with the external and internal bevel gear respectively. The general mathematical model of crown gear was established. Then the general mathematical model of internal meshing spiral bevel gears is obtained by matrix transformation, which is suitable for a variety of gear tooth profiles. Finally, the mathematical model and 3D modeling of double circular-arc spiral bevel gears are developed.

The Mathematical Model

This paper aims at obtaining the mathematical model of the general spiral bevel gears of local bearing contact from spatial conjugate curve theory. Differential geometry and gearing kinematics are introduced to derive this model. Meshing-correctly conditions are set in the theoretical derivation process. The final model is represented in the form of equations and inequalities. According to the arguments in this paper, a process of designing the tooth surface of spiral bevel gears of local bearing is proposed. Based on this process, the numerical example of a pair of these gears with specific profiles is represented by applying the finite element analysis. Results show that the magnitudes of the deviations between theoretical contact points and real contact points are small. Therefore, the results agree with the mathematical model of the spiral bevel gears of local bearing contact in this paper.

Spiral Bevel

A modelling method for analyzing the three-dimensional thermal behavior of spiral bevel gears has been developed. The model surfaces are generated through application of differential geometry to the manufacturing process for face-milled spiral bevel gears. Contact on the gear surface is found by combining tooth contact analysis with three-dimensional Hertzian theory. The tooth contact analysis provides the principle curvatures and orientations of the two surfaces. This information is then used directly in the Hertzian analysis to find the contact size and maximum pressure. Heat generation during meshing is determined as a function of the applied load, sliding velocity, and coefficient of friction. Each of these factors change as the point of contact changes during meshing. A nonlinear finite element program was used to conduct the heat transfer analysis. This program permitted the time- and position-varying boundary conditions, found in operation, to be applied to a one-tooth model. An example model and analytical results are presented.

Kinematic Errors

Abstract Kinematical optimization and sensitivity analysis of circular-cut spiral bevel gears are investigated in this paper. Based on the Gleason spiral bevel gear generator and EPG test machine, a mathematical model is proposed to simulate the tooth contact conditions of the spiral bevel gear set. All the machine settings and assembly data are simulated by simplified parameters. The tooth contact patterns and kinematic errors are obtained by the proposed mathematical model and the tooth contact analysis techniques. Loaded tooth contact patterns are obtained by the differential geometry and the Hertz contact formulas. Tooth surface sensitivity due to the variation of machine settings is studied. The corrective machine settings can be calculated by the sensitive matrix and the linear regression method. An optimization algorithm is also developed to minimize the kinematic errors and the discontinuity of tooth meshing. According to the proposed studies, an improved procedure for development of spiral bevel gears is suggested. The results of this paper can be applied to determine the sensitivity and precision requirements in manufacturing, and improve the running quality of the spiral bevel gears. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the applications of the optimization model.

Good Agreement

In this article, the assembly interference of spiral bevel gears in a Klingelnberg cyclo-palloid system is analyzed based upon tooth contact analysis and is investigated experimentally. Each backlash in increasing mounting distance of the pinion is calculated step by step, using developed tooth contact analysis. When the backlash increases, the assembly interference does not occur based upon the calculated results. When the backlash decreases and is less than zero, the assembly interference occurs. When the assembly interference occurs, the tooth surfaces should be modified in order to prevent the assembly interference. In this case, a method of the modification is proposed. The experimental results showed a good agreement with the analyzed ones. As a result, the validity of the analysis and avoidance of the assembly interference in this method was confirmed.

Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis

The method for loaded tooth contact analysis is applied for the investigation of the influence of misalignments and tooth errors on load distribution, stresses and transmission errors in mismatched spiral bevel gears. By using the corresponding computer program the influence of pinion’s offset and axial adjustment error, angular position error of the pinion axis and tooth spacing error on tooth contact pressure, tooth root stresses and angular displacement of the driven gear member from the theoretically exact position based on the ratio of the numbers of teeth is investigated. The obtained results have shown that in general, the misalignments in spiral bevel gears worsen the conjugation of contacting tooth surfaces and in extreme cases cause edge contact with high tooth contact pressures. But, some mismatches, as are the axial movement of the pinion apex towards the gear teeth or the tip relief of pinion teeth (in this analysis it is represented by the tooth spacing error) reduce the maximum tooth contact pressure. Also it can be concluded that the misalignments and the tooth spacing errors significantly increase the angular position error of the driven gear from the theoretically exact position based on the numbers of teeth and make the motion graphs unbalanced.
