Efficient transmissions systems are key to producing competitive motor vehicles that have a smaller environmental impact. Gears are the main components in vehicle transmissions and although they are already highly efficient, there is still room for improvement. In this study, the focus falls on the lubricant used to create separating films between gears and to dissipate heat. When driving, the ...

This research is motivated by optimal designing of bevel gear pair for transmitting more power between shafts in the machine tool without noise and without lubricating oil. In this research, the parameters such as power, efficiency, weight and centre distance have been optimized since the parameters are the central part of the gear problem. The sub problem of reducing the noise, running without...

The study employed the finite element method to develop a validated theoretical model to investigate the distribution of thermal hoop stress around the teeth of a spur gear operating in a filler machine. Three cases of temperature distribution along the radius of a gear tooth were assumed and investigated. The outcome showed that the maximum effective stress occurs at the tip of the gear tooth ...

The transform relation between the meshing position and rotation angle of a cylindrical gear pair is firstly derived according to the theory of gear meshing. Then the technique of building the assembly model of a cylindrical gear pair at specified meshing position in ANSYS is researched. On this basis, a new method to perform static contact analysis of cylindrical gear at any meshing location i...

We study three dimensional parametric agile design of gears and related software platforms in terms of: parameterization, modularization, and the software being easy to use, expand and maintain. We base our study on SolidWorks platform, aiming to generate 3-D solid models of gears automatically in terms of: i) inputting parameters to improve the modeling speed, ii) build up foundations for stru...

Currently, the mechanical vehicle generating system is a relatively developed vehicle generating system that is widely used in a variety of places where mobile power supply is in shortage. This paper applies CATIA to process three-dimensional parametric modeling design for the power take-off and transmission of the system, using PROTEL DXP to design and analyze the electronic control part of th...

As the main drive components of the automobile transmission, the performance of gear shaft plays an important role on transmission performance. Aiming at the existing problems of the traditional strength check method of gear shaft, the objective of this study is to take a five-speed transmission as an example, to accomplish the strength analysis of gear shaft of the automobile transmission base...
