Evaluation of load capacity of gears with an asymmetric tooth profile
Tóm tắt
An ISO standard tooth profile has a symmetric pressure angle of 20°. However, the load capacity can be increased with respect to bending and contact pressure by increasing the pressure angle on the meshing side of an asymmetric tooth. Accordingly, we analyzed the torque transmission capacity of asymmetric gears with various pressure angles. We calculated the deflection and bending stress of teeth by the finite element method and found the root stress taking into account the load-sharing ratio. Hertzian contact stress was calculated with respect to contact pressure. Normal vector load was converted into a torque, and torque capacity was evaluated when the stress reached the allowable stress for each case. Reduced bending stress because of an increase in tooth thickness and decreased transmission torque because of a reduction in the base circle radius work together to maximize the load capacity for bending at a pressure angle of around 30°. Maximum load capacity with respect to contact pressure is achieved when the pressure angle is made 45° by increasing the radius of the contact surface. Both strength with respect to bending and contact pressure are found, and the torque transmission capacity of the gear is determined by the lower value of the two. For low-strength materials such as flame-hardened steel, damage due to contact pressure is expected for all forms of gears and the greatest torque capacity was at a pressure angle of 45°. In the case of assuming 800 Hv and an inclusion size
$$ \sqrt{\boldsymbol{A}}=50 $$
μm for a high-strength material, the greatest torque transmission capacity is obtained at a pressure angle of 30°. In the case of assuming a moderate-strength material such as case-hardened steel, an optimal form exists at which strength with respect to bending and strength with respect to contact pressure are equal.
