Although bevel-gear robotic wrists are widely used in industrial manipulators due to their simple kinematics and low manufacturing cost, their gear trains function under rolling and sliding, the latter bringing about noise and vibration. Sliding is inherent to the straight teeth of the bevel gears of these trains. Moreover, unavoidable backlash introduces unmodeled dynamics, which mars robot pe...

In the machining of split straight bevel gears, stiffness changes and internal stress are redistributed, which leads to serious deformation gear blank after machining. To rectify this problem, q finite element model is established by transforming processing information into simulation calculation information, carried out. Considering material, design, process blank, characteristics laws variati...

The purpose of this research is to analyze the forging of bevel gears based on conventional forging method with material number 1.7131 with finite element method by means of SUPER FORGE software and to compare it with experimental cold orbital forging results.After doing simulation of conventional forging and obtaining press tonnage due to orbital forging method with DEFORM software, orbital fo...

The tooth flanks of bevel gears with involute teeth are still cut using approximations such as Tredgold’s and octoid curves, while the geometry of the exact spherical involute is well known. The modeling of the tooth flanks of gears with skew axes, however, still represents a challenge to geometers. Hence, there is a need to develop algorithms for the geometric modeling of these gears. As a mat...

A method for the determination of the optimal polynomial functions for the conduction of machine-tool setting variations in pinion teeth finishing in order to reduce the transmission errors in spiral bevel gears is presented. Polynomial functions of order up to five are applied to conduct the variation of the cradle radial setting and of the cutting ratio in the process for pinion teeth generat...
