Dynamics of lubricated spiral bevel gears under different contact paths

Abstract To assess the meshing quality of spiral bevel gears, static characteristics are usually checked under different contact paths to simulate deviation in footprint from design point heel or toe gear flank caused by assembly error two axes. However, effect path on dynamics lubricated conditions has not been reported. In addition, most studies regarding gears disregard condition because complicated solutions mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). Hence, an analytical friction model with a highly efficient solution, whose coefficient and film thickness predictions agree well results well-validated EHL for is established present study facilitate gears. The obtained reveal significant dynamic response efficiency systems. Finally, comparison numerical transmission experimental measurements indicates good agreement.
