Abstract: The Gleason face hobbing process has been widely applied by the gear industry. But so far, few papers have been found regarding exact modeling and simulation of the tooth surface generations ...

Abstract: Modeling of tooth surface generation and simulation of contact is an important part of computerized design and manufacturing of spiral bevel and hypoid gears. This paper presents new developments ...

Abstract: In the blank design of spiral bevel and hypoid gears, the face cone is defined as an imaginary cone tangent to the tops of the teeth. Traditionally, the face cone element or generatrix is ...

Abstract: Face-hobbing is a continuous generating process employed in manufacturing spiral bevel and hypoid gears. Due to machining dynamics and tolerances of machine tools, the exact tooth surface geometry ...

Abstract: The increasing demand for low noise and high strength leads to higher quality requirements in manufacturing spiral bevel and hypoid gears. Due to heat treatment distortions, machine tolerances, ...
