Kinematics of mechanisms of hypoid and spiral bevel cutting machines is considered. These mechanisms are designated to install the position and tilt of the head cutter. The tilt of the head cutter with standard blades provides the required pressure angle. The authors have developed the matrix presentation of kinematics of these mechanisms and basic equations for the required settings. An example is presented based on the developed computation procedure.

The tooth geometry and cutting machine mechanisms of spiral bevel gears are investigated. Based on the kinematics of titled head cutter, machine cradle, sliding base and work head, the matrix presentation of spiral bevel gear’s tooth geometry are developed. The relations between the parameters of the proposed mathematical model and the machine settings of existing spiral bevel gear cutting machines are also investigated. The tilt of head cutter axis, motion of generation, helical motion of sliding base, and nongenerating cutting of spiral bevel gears are taken into consideration. An example is given to illustrate the application of the proposed mathematical model.

An approach for analytical determination of basic machine-tool settings for generation of spiral bevel gears from blank data is proposed. Generation by face-milling is considered. The analytical procedure is based on the similitudes between the conditions of generation between the gear member and its head-cutter and the conditions of imaginary meshing between the gear member and its crown gear. The blank data considered are the number of teeth of the pinion and the gear, the module, the spiral and pressure angles, the face width, the shaft angle, the depth factor, the clearance factor, and the mean addendum factor. These starting data can be established following the directions of the Standard ANSI/AGMA 2005-D03. Once the gear machine-tool settings are determined, an existing approach of local synthesis is applied to determine the pinion machine-tool settings that provide the desired conditions of meshing and contact of the gear drive. The developed theory is illustrated with a numerical example.

Many researchers and gear designers are applying their own methods to obtain appropriate machine-tool settings for each case of design, according to their own experience, manufacturing machines and type of generating process. In this paper, the analytical determination of basic machine-tool settings for generation of spiral bevel gears from blank data is proposed. Determination of gear machine-tool settings is carried out through an analytical procedure that will allow to obtain identities between gear machine-tool settings and blank data of the spiral bevel gear drive. In this work, the face-milling generation process has been considered. The blank data that have been considered are: number of teeth of the pinion and the gear, module, spiral and pressure angles, face width, shaft angle, depth factor, clearance factor, and mean addendum factor. These basic starting data are known or can be established following the directions of the Standard ANSI/AGMA 2005-D03. Once the basic gear machine-tool settings are determined, the existing approach of local synthesis is applied to determine the pinion machine-tool settings that provide the desired conditions of meshing and contact of the gear drive. The developed theory is illustrated with numerical examples.

The determination of the geometry for the whole tooth profile, including the meshing profile and the tooth fillet, is important for tooth contact analysis and the mesh generation for FEM analysis of gear pairs. This paper presents a systematic approach for the determination of the complete tooth geometry of face-hobbed hypoid and spiral bevel gears. The detailed mathematical formulation for the generation of gear tooth surface and the equations for the tooth surface coordinates are provided in the paper. The surface coordinates and normal vectors are calculated at grid points selected based on the gear blank dimension. Using the machine tool settings as input, the computer model simulating the gear generation process precisely calculates the tooth geometry parameters on the selected grid. A numerical example is included in the paper to illustrate the presented approach.

AbstractExisting studies primarily focus on stiffness and damping under full-film lubrication or dry contact conditions. However, most lubricated transmission components operate in the mixed lubrication region, indicating that both the asperity contact and film lubrication exist on the rubbing surfaces. Herein, a novel method is proposed to evaluate the time-varying contact stiffness and damping of spiral bevel gears under transient mixed lubrication conditions. This method is sufficiently robust for addressing any mixed lubrication state regardless of the severity of the asperity contact. Based on this method, the transient mixed contact stiffness and damping of spiral bevel gears are investigated systematically. The results show a significant difference between the transient mixed contact stiffness and damping and the results from Hertz (dry) contact. In addition, the roughness significantly changes the contact stiffness and damping, indicating the importance of film lubrication and asperity contact. The transient mixed contact stiffness and damping change significantly along the meshing path from an engaging-in to an engaging-out point, and both of them are affected by the applied torque and rotational speed. In addition, the middle contact path is recommended because of its comprehensive high stiffness and damping, which maintained the stability of spiral bevel gear transmission.
