Precision modeling of the hydraulic gear pump pressure dynamics depends on the accurate prediction of volumetric displacement in the inter-tooth spaces of the gear. By accurate reconstruction of the gear profile, detailed transient volumetric information can be determined. Therefore, this paper reports a non-contact gear measurement device using two opposing laser triangulation sensors, and the key geometrical models to reconstruct the profile with geometrical error compensation. An optimization-based key parameter calculation method is also proposed to find the unknown orientation of the sensor. Finally, an experimental setup is established, the performance of the device is tested and the geometric model is validated. Initial results showed that the method is able to reconstruct the target tooth profile and compensated results can reduce the geometrical error by up to 98% compared to the uncalibrated ones.

Fine finishing of spur gears reduces the vibrations and noise and upsurges the service life of two mating gears. A new magnetorheological gear profile finishing (MRGPF) process is utilized for the fine finishing of spur gear teeth profile surfaces. In the present study, the development of a theoretical mathematical model for the prediction of change in surface roughness during the MRGPF process is done. The present MRGPF is a controllable process with the magnitude of the magnetic field, therefore, the effect of magnetic flux density (MFD) on the gear tooth profile has been analyzed using an analytical approach. Theoretically calculated MFD is validated experimentally and with the finite element analysis. To understand the finishing process mechanism, the different forces acting on the gear surface has been investigated. For the validation of the present roughness model, three sets of finishing cycle experimentations have been performed on the spur gear profile by the MRGPF process. The surface roughness of the spur gear tooth surface after experimentation was measured using Mitutoyo SJ-400 surftest and is equated with the values of theoretically calculated surface roughness. The results show the close agreement which ranges from −7.69% to 2.85% for the same number of finishing cycles. To study the surface characteristics of the finished spur gear tooth profile surface, scanning electron microscopy is used. The present developed theoretical model for surface roughness during the MRGPF process predicts the finishing performance with cycle time, improvement in the surface quality, and functional application of the gears.

Accurate gear profile plays an important role in determining the transmission performance of gear-drive equipment. In this paper, a novel method for extracting gear tooth profile edge is presented. The presented method is based on engagement-pixel image edge tracking (EPIET) technique, and does not rely on the traditional meshing theory. An algorithm for the proposed method is put forward. Firstly, instantaneous contact images between the envelope curves of the gear profile and the instantaneous locus of the cutting tool are acquired. Secondly, pixels on the boundary of the envelope curves are lighted and the instantaneous locus coordinates of the cutting tool are calibrated. Lastly, the pixel coordinates of instantaneous meshing points are extracted, based on the fact that there is exactly one contact point per instant, and major error sources of the presented method are discussed. To verify the effectiveness of the presented method, a case study is conducted on a face gear, which is a type of complex conjugate gear, to extract its tooth profile edge. In the study, the tooth profile error and the contact line error are investigated. The results demonstrate that the presented method, without knowing complicated meshing equations, can acquire feasible accuracy and stability, compared with traditional meshing equations. It is shown that the novel method can be extended to applications of digital design of complex conjugate curved surfaces, in a simple and fast manner.

Abstract Novel circular-arc gear pumps effectively solve the problems of oil trapping and flow pulsation experienced with traditional gear pumps. However, the center distance deviation associated with assembly and installation during gear pump processing has an important influence on the outlet pressure pulsation characteristics of circular-arc gear pumps. First, the circular-arc tooth profile equation, conjugate curve equation and meshing line equation were derived to design the circular-arc gear meshing and center distance deviation functions. Second, the circular-arc gear tooth profile was accurately obtained. Then, a pressure pulsation characteristic simulation model for the novel circular-arc gear pumps considering the center distance deviation was established. The results show that with the increase of center distance deviation, the outlet flow rate of the arc gear pump increases first and then decreases greatly. Moreover, the center distance deviation has little effect on the independent tooth cavity pressure. Finally, the proposed fluid dynamic model is used to simulate a commercial circular-arc gear pump, which was tested within this research for modeling validation purposes. The comparisons highlight the validity of the proposed simulation approach.

This paper is based on Honda product development and maturation related to noise and vibration. During the development, it was discovered that the vibration level of the vehicle did not meet the desired level. These studies are aimed to reduce the noise and vibration felt in vehicle by improving the powertrain as the main source of the vibration. During the investigation, it was discovered that manufacturing process change from tooth shaving to tooth honing could have significant impact on the final tooth profile that essentially impact the noise and vibration level of the vehicle. The studies focus on bias control to improve the vibration level. This paper will show complete relationship between actual gear profile, vibration level of unit as powertrain, and finally airborne noise level of the complete vehicle as the final product. The studies resulted in shifting bias control target for the gear tooth profile, which translates to improved noise and vibration level in vehicle.

A new W-N gear tooth profile is developed. The gear developed has an addendum of circular arc and a dedendum of involute curve. This particular tooth profile is believed to solve the problem of conventional W-N gear profile—that is, the profile is sensitive to center distance variations. No pitting on the gear was observed even after 1 × 107 revolutions cycle during the laboratory test using a pair of gear having specified values of Mn (normal module) = 4, β (helix angle) = 30 deg, and Lloyd’s K factor at 8 MPa.

Gear tooth profile modification can be featured to improve working stability of gear equipments, abate noise and vibration, enhance loading ability and prolong usage life of the gears. Fine forged spur bevel gear are formed with molds, so it is economical to modify the gears by means of modifying mold cavity. Whether the modified gears can be separated from the mold with easiness is proposed to be the basic criterion of gear tooth profile modification design. Near the big ends and tooth roots is mainly the area which affects demolding after modification. According to the modified gear configuration, mathematical model is built to calculate the demolding check at any modification points on the fine forged spur bevel gear profile. And a corresponding program is developed, which is the main tool for the gear tooth profile modification design, and practical calculation has carried out.

A novel method was presented by the authors to minimize the static transmission error using cubic splines (C.S.) for gear tooth profile. A reduction in the transmission error is expected to reduce the gear vibration and noise by lowering the dynamic tooth load in a meshing cycle. To establish this fact, a dynamic analysis of the gear drive with involute tooth and modified tooth profiles (using C.S.) is performed. For this, first the tooth deformation is found and then the tooth dynamic load is determined for all reasonable speeds. A parametric study is conducted to establish the superiority of the C.S. based gear profile over the involute profile as well as the other profiles based on the use of linear and parabolic tip reliefs.
