Face Gear Drive with Spur Involute Pinion: Geometry, Generation by a Worm, Stress Analysis

Abstract

A face gear drive with a spur involute pinion is considered. The generation of the face gear is based on application of a grinding or cutting worm whereas the conventional method of generation is based on application of an involute shaper. An analytical approach for determination of: (1) the worm thread surface, (2) avoidance of singularities of the worm thread surface, (3) dressing of the worm, and (4) determination of stresses of the face-gear drive, is proposed. A computer program for simulation of meshing and contact of the pinion and face-gear has been developed. Correction of machine-tool settings is proposed for reduction of the shift of the bearing contact caused by misalignment. An automatic development of the model of five contacting teeth has been proposed for stress analysis. Numerical examples for illustration of the developed theory are provided.
