A general formulation for the synthesis of the pitch cones of N-lobed elliptical bevel gears and the pitch surface of their conjugate crown-rack is proposed. In particular, both pitch cones and the pitch surface of their crown-rack can be obtained for any number and combination of lobes and in any configuration during their pure-rolling motion. This formulation has been implemented in a suitable Matlab program and several significant examples are shown, where circular bevel gears become a particular case.

A suitable formulation and the implementing algorithms for involute and octoidal bevel-gear generation are proposed in this paper. In particular, the exact spherical involute tooth profile of bevel gears and their crown-rack is obtained through the pure-rolling motion of a great circle of the fundamental sphere on the base cone. Moreover, the tooth flank surface of octoidal bevel gears is obtained as the envelope of the tooth flat flank of the octoidal crown-rack during the pure-rolling motion of its flat pitch curve on the pitch cone. The proposed algorithms have been implemented in Matlab; several examples are included to illustrate their applicability.

A general formulation of the synthesis of the pitch cones of a pair of N-lobed elliptical bevel gears and the pitch surface of its conjugate crown-rack is proposed. In particular, two pitch cones and the pitch surface of their crown-rack are obtained for any number and combination of lobes and in any configuration during their pure-rolling motion. This formulation is implemented in MATLAB; several significant examples are included, with circular bevel gears becoming a particular case thereof.

Spiral Bevel

In this paper, an active design method of meshing line for a spiral bevel gear mechanism with nonrelative sliding is presented. First, the general meshing line equations for a nonrelative sliding transmission mechanism between two orthogonal axes are proposed based on the active design parameters. Then, parametric equations for contact curves on the drive and driven spiral bevel gears are deduced by coordinate transformation of the meshing line equations. Further to this, parametric equations for the tooth surface of each bevel gear are derived according to the conical spiral motion of a generatrix circle along the calculated contact curves. Finally, a set of numerical examples is presented based on two types of motion equation of the meshing points. Material prototypes are fabricated and experimentally tested to validate the kinematic performance of the functionally designed spiral bevel gear set.

Abstract. As a type of spatial transmission mechanism, noncircular bevel gears can be used to transfer the power and motion with a variable transmission ratio between intersecting axes. In this paper, utilizing the spherical triangle theorem and meshing principle, the parametric equations of the contact ratio are established in the space polar coordinate system. Two innovative methods are proposed to analyze the contact ratio by using the rotation angle of the driving (driven) gears and the arc length of pitch curve as pure rolling. In the case of modified gear and X-zero gear, whether the noncircular bevel gear is continuously driven is deduced. The simulation transmission ratio curve and theoretical transmission ratio curve are compared to verify the rationality of the design.

It is today possible to manufacture so smooth surfaces that they can elastically conform totally to each other over the whole Hertzian contact area. For pure rolling lubrication such surfaces only need an oil film of molecular dimensions to get total separation. When the rolling motion is combined with sliding, the pressure fluctuations inside the Hertzian contact redistribute the oil and make metal-to-metal contact possible. The redistribution velocity is a function of the slip rate S and the number of asperities N from the inlet to the outlet of the Hertzian contact area. The asperity top oil film thickness decreases with a factor of the order 2NS going from the inlet to the outlet of the Hertzian contact.

The design of a novel prismatic drive is reported in this paper. This transmission is based on Slide-o-Cam, a cam mechanism with multiple rollers mounted on a common translating follower. The design of Slide-o-Cam was reported elsewhere. This drive thus provides pure-rolling motion, thereby reducing the friction of rack-and-pinions and linear drives. Such properties can be used to design new transmissions for parallel-kinematics machines. In this paper, this transmission is intended to replace the ball-screws in Orthoglide, a three-dof parallel robot intended for machining applications.

Isolation Mechanisms

The previous models of rolling-type mechanisms were built based on rigid contact and pure rolling motion, but when applied to ground microvibration isolation, a large error in the natural frequency was sometimes observed in the experiments. A new model of a common mechanism based on completely elastic contact is developed, and the expression of the natural frequency is provided under a microvibration condition. The experiments and analysis show that the proposed model is more accurate than the previous model, and the natural frequency is independent of the payload. The analysis shows that the proposed model is only suitable in the range of completely elastic contact, and the load range is provided after comparing the experimental results with existing theory.
