In this calculation method, the influence of temperature upon the property of plastics is considered and an iteration process of temperature-elasticity module-friction coefficient is proposed. From the rolling contact problem of two viscoelastic cylinders with parallel axis, a set of normal-tangential contact coupled integral equations is obtained. Through numerical treatment and normal-tangential iteration, the normal contact stress,tangential stress and contact width of plastic gears are acquired.展开更多

The research shows that, in elastic deformation, gear stiffness increases when sliding frict ion ability of contact pair decreases; meanwhile, the gear structure, especially asymmetric design in gear’ s shaft direction will also decrease gear stiffness.展开更多

Ball-end milling is an effective method for trial manufacture or small batch production of this type of gear, but the precision of the gear is usually low. In this research, the main sources of the errors of the gear, machining errors of the tooth profile and trace of the gear obtained were analyzed. The correction amounts for these errors are then determined by using a CNC gear tester. They are used to generate a new 3D-CAD model for gear machining with better nrecision.展开更多
