Analysis of modification of spur gear profile

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the modification of the toothing of spur gears. The aim of the modification of the profile on the tooth tip is to compensate for the tooth deflection under loading and to improve the conditions of gear operation. Cases of longitudinal toothing modification of a convex-convex (Cv-Cv type) tooth are described, where the tooth is biconvex and the gear teeth are convex-concave (Cv-Cc type). The conditions of mating of modified gears have been analyzed. A method of machining gears by the step-by-step method has been proposed, which can be used in unit machining of large-module gears with an arbitrary profile modification system.
