Study on the Anti Twist Helical Gear Tooth Flank With Longitudinal Tooth Crowning

Abstract

To attain an antitwist helical gear tooth flank with longitudinal tooth crowning, a novel additional rotation angle is proposed for the work gear during its hobbing process. A congruous nonlinear function with two variables is proposed and supplemented to this additional rotation angle of work gear. Two numeral examples are presented to illustrate the effects of coefficients of the proposed nonlinear function on the twist and evenness of generated helical gear tooth flanks. The twist of the crowned helical tooth flank is reduced significantly by applying the proposed longitudinal crowning gear method.
