Abstract This paper presents the kinematic study of the face gear drive system. The study includes three different configurations which are: (1) the on-center orthogonal face gear drive, (2) the on-center non-orthogonal face gear drive, and (3) the offset orthogonal face gear drive. The mathematical description for the gear meshing and the resulting face gear tooth surface is developed. This paper also presents the criteria for detecting the limitation of the effective face width due to tooth pointing and undercutting. The technique presented is applied to develop a computer program. This design automation tool allows visualizing the gear meshing and tooth geometry of the face gear drive.

The generating of face gear with arcuate tooth has been proposed in this paper, and the meshing characteristics are investigated. Based on the concept of imaginary gear cutter, tooth surface equation has been derived, flank modification has also been considered. The transmission errors and bearing contacts of the face gear drive with arcuate tooth under different assembly conditions are investigated by applying the tooth contact analysis. The numerical results reveal that the bearing contacts are not sensitive to the errors of misalignments, and a more favorable type parabolic function of transmission errors with better symmetry and reduced amplitude may be obtained according to the modification of the face gear.

Face gear transmission is a kind of space-meshing mechanism that is mainly used in the field of aviation. Compared with traditional transmission, it has the advantages of stability, reliability, low noise, and strong carrying capacity. However, owing to its complex tooth surface, there are no means to accurately model the face gear. Likewise, research based on the geometry is difficult. Therefore, the tooth surface equation of the face gear is derived in this article based on the meshing theory. Based on the equations, the point cloud of the face gear tooth surface is calculated, the complex tooth surface is generated, and the face gear is accurately modeled. Moreover, taking tooth surface friction excitation into consideration, a multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear dynamic model of face gear transmission system is established, using the adaptive variable step length Runge–Kutta method. As shown in the results, the bifurcation diagram, phase diagram, time history diagram, and Poincaré section diagram are combined to analyze the influence of tooth surface friction and meshing frequency on the dynamic characteristics of the system.

A orthogonal-shaft face gear drive with spur involute pinion is considered. The mathematical model of the face gear tooth flank was studied and the correction parameters was taken into account. The measurement grid schema was accomplished on the rotary projection of theoretical tooth flank, with the real tooth flank data from three-dimensional measuring machine or gear measuring center, the tooth flank deviation could be calculated. The effect of correction parameters on tooth flank deviation was investigated and the correction method for the single index generating grinding was proposed. Finally a numerical example was presented and the results show that the method proposed can decrease the tooth flank deviation.

Based on the general mathematical model of Illés Dudás which is appropriate for mathematical modelling of production technology methods we have worked out a model for resharpening analysis of conical hob. After the hob resharpening using numerical calculations the determination of the tooth surface of face gear by cutting edges is necessary for the analysis. Based on this methods we could calculate the permissible critical angle of the hob and the profiles of the hob and the face gear in axial section. The permissible critical angle of the hob is the critical angle the hob cutting edge of which manufactured face gear profile is situated in the permissible profile error tolerance. We have worked out a new geometric conical worm gear drive that is the conical worm gear drive having arched profile. Using this mathematical model we have done resharpening analysis for the hob having arched profile and determined the permissible critical angle.

As the current research of face gear drive cannot realize fluctuating gear ratio, a design method of orthogonal fluctuating gear ratio face gear drive is proposed. The mathematical model of orthogonal fluctuating gear ratio face gear drive is found based on the space engagement theory. The equation of the pitch curve, addendum curve and dedendum curve of face gear are derived. The design method of tooth surface of the face gear is available based on the envelope method. The conversion relationship of enveloping coordinate systems is obtained during the enveloping process of orthogonal fluctuating gear ratio face gear drive after the establishment of enveloping coordinate systems. Then combining with equation of generating surface, the tooth surface equation of the face gear is obtained. The three-dimensional model of orthogonal fluctuating gear ratio face gear is acquired on the basis of a modeling program, which is developed under the environment of VB and Solidworks (API). Furthermore, localization of the bearing contact is achieved by the manufacturing method and it is justified by the finite element method analysis result. Finally, the kinematics of the orthogonal fluctuating gear ratio face gear drive is analyzed, and the change laws of transmission ratio, angular displacement and angular acceleration of the face gear are acquired.
