Abstract

The meshing of face gear drive with helical pinion was investigated. A new version of face gear drive geometry was proposed as envelopes of two parabolic racks of the pinion and shaper in the profile. The results show that the meshing performance of a modified face gear drive are improved evidently. The contact path on the flanks of tooth are distributed in the longitudinal direction, which can avoid the edge of contact. The contact path offsets to the tip and toe of face gear tooth due to it is sensitive to the alignment error especially the error of axis shaft error in the misalignment.
