Abstract: Face hobbing, a continuous indexing and double-flank cutting process, has become the leading method for manufacturing spiral bevel gears and hypoid gears because of its ability to support high ...

Abstract: To reduce form grinding errors, this paper proposes a free-form flank topographic correction method based on a five-axis computer numerical control (CNC) gear profile grinding machine. This ...

Abstract: The fundamental design of spiral bevel and hypoid gears is usually based on a local synthesis and a tooth contact analysis of the gear drive. Recently, however, several flank modification ...

Abstract: Because the contact patterns of spiral bevel and hypoid gears are highly sensitive to tooth flank geometry, it is desirable to reduce the flank deviations caused by machine errors and heat ...

Abstract: Based on the theory of gearing and differential geometry, a universal hypoid generator mathematical model for face hobbing spiral bevel and hypoid gears has been developed. This model can be ...
