Abstract
En 中文
Mounting errors are a disruptive factor in gear utilization. This paper investigates the contribution of mounting error components in helical gears to the helix slope deviation using the involute equations. A model of the helical gear transmission system has been established, by which the impact of mounting errors on the loaded transmission error and contact ratio of the bevel gear transmission was studied using the Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis method. A bench test was then casted as a verification of this model. A methodology was proposed for optimizing the micro modification of helical gear flanks based on contact ratio control. Robust optimization of the mounting error was achieved by reducing the contact ratio under commonly used torques compared to the contact ratio at the local minimum of the loaded peak-to-peak transmission error. This approach has been demonstrated to enhance the robustness of gear transmission against mounting errors and torque fluctuations.
