Spiral Bevel Gear Design and Development - Generation and Simulation of Meshing and Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA) for Improved Performance | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Computer-based design analysis is nowadays a common activity in most development projects. When new software and manufacturing processes are introduced, traditional empirical knowledge is unavailable and considerable effort is required to find starting design concepts. This forces gear designers to go beyond the traditional standards-based design methods. The transformation has had a vast influence on gear manufacturing as well, providing process improvements that lead to higher gear quality and lower manufacturing costs. However, in the case of the gear industry, the critical process of Generation and Simulation of Meshing and Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA) of Spiral bevel gears for improved performance remains relatively unchanged.
