Design and Analysis of Polymer PEK Spur Gear under Static Loading Condition using FEA

Abstract

this work presents the design and Analysis of polymer PEK spur gear and Comparison of results of PEK with Metallic Cast Iron under limited loading conditions. Application of Plastic gear reduces the weight and noise vibration. Analytical Method is used to calculate Tooth load with help of Lewis equation & dynamic tooth load with help of Buckingham equation. Gear profile modeling is done by using SOLIDWORKS 2015. Finite Element Method is used for Static analysis of the gear to find the Von-misses stress on the tooth of the gear using ANSYS and these values are compared with Analytical values.
