GEAR DESIGN

The paper presents an original method to determine the efficiency of the gear, the forces of the gearing, the velocities and the powers. The originality of this method relies on the eliminated friction modulus. The first chapters are analyzing the influence of a few parameters concerning gear efficiency.  These parameters are:  z1   - the number of teeth for the primary wheel of gear; z2   - the number of teeth of the secondary wheel of gear; alpha0 - the normal pressure angle on the divided circle; beta - the inclination angle. With the relations presented in this paper, it can synthesize the gear’s mechanisms. Today, the gears are present everywhere, in the mechanical’s world (In vehicle’s industries, in electronics and electro-technique equipments, in energetically industries, etc.). Optimizing this mechanism (the gears mechanism), we can improve the functionality of the transmissions with gears. At the gear mechanisms an important problem is the interference of the teeth. To avoid the interference between teeth, we must know the minimum number of teeth of the driving wheel, in function of the pressure angle (normal on the pitch circle, alpha0), in function of the tooth inclination angle (beta), and in function transmission ratio (i). The last chapter presents an original method to make the geometric synthesis of the gear, having in view the minimum number of teeth of the driving wheel. The classical methods use many different relations to determine the minimum number of teeth of the driving wheel. By this paper we want to give a unitary method to determine the minimum number of teeth of the driving wheel 1, to avoid the interference between the teeth of the two wheels (of the gear).
