Abstract

According to the lightweight and heavily loaded characteristics of spiral bevel gear, spiral bevel gears with tooth edge contact were analyzed by finite element processing batch, and the change regulation of tooth edge contact as load increases was quantitatively discussed. On the basis of tooth contact analysis, gear meshing processions were divided into several steps to calculate. Each step was combined to describe the gear meshing processions. Taking a pair of spiral bevel gears as an example, tooth edge contact is analyzed under different load conditions. The contact stress, contact pattern and contact trajectory were obtained by post-treatment, which well coincide with tooth contact analysis and loaded tooth contact analysis. The result shows that three tooth edge contact parameters listed above steeply rise as loads passing beyond the critical value. And the change characteristics can be obtained by quantitative calculation and parameter comparison.
