WEDM Manufacturing Method for Noncircular Gears, Using CAD/CAM Software

978 - 0 - 521 - 76170 - 3 - Noncircular Gears : Design and Generation

Designers have tried for many years to apply noncircular gears in automatic machines and instruments. The obstacle was the lack of effective methods of generation of noncircular gears similar to those applied for the generation of circular gears. However, researchers have continued the investigation of application of noncircular gears – see the earlier works by Burmester (Burmester, 1888), Golb...

Study on the generalized mathematical model of noncircular gears

Parametric Study of Dry WEDM Using Taguchi Method

Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) is a non-traditional thermo-electric process capable of machining hard materials of highly complex three dimensional shapes. In this paper, the dry WEDM experimentation is conducted using oxygen as a dielectric medium. The deionized water is replaced by the oxygen as a dielectric medium to ameliorate the environmental impact in the machining surroundin...

A Reduction Method of Cogging Torque for Magnetic Gears

Nowadays, magnetic gears (MGs) have become an alternative choice for mechanical gears because of their low maintenance, improved durability, indirect contact between inner and outer rotors, no lubrication, and high efficiency. Generally, although these advantages, MGs suffer from inherent issues, mainly the cogging torque. Therefore, cogging torque mitigation has become an active research area....

Cutting Geometry and Base-Cone Parameters of Manufacturing Hypoid Gears by Generating-Line Method

Generating-line method, which is based on the generating process of spherical involute curve, is a new processing theory of cutting ideal spherical involute gears. Based on the principle of the new method, this paper expands the traditional geometrical relationship into the cutting geometry of generating-line method, and proposes the base-cone parameters with their formulas to provide necessary...
