Study of Lubricant Jet Flow Phenomena in Spur Gears-Out of Mesh Condition

Abstract

The objective of the work reported herein was to analytically and experimentally determine the penetration depth onto the tooth flank of a jet oil at different velocities pointed at the pitch line on the outgoing side of mesh. The analysis determines the impingement depth for both the gear and the pinion. It includes the cases for speed increasers and decreasers as well as for one to one gear ratio.
