Abstract:To analyze the influence of machining deflection error on contact specialties of the orthogonal face gear drive,the coordinates of the points contact orthogonal face gear drive is built up and the contact points equations are deduced.Based on these equations,the change of tooth shape,the contact point position,and the maximum press stresses on the orthogonal face gear are analyzed.According to the solution method of the principal curvatures,the influence on the principal curvatures at the contact points is also analyzed,and by the solution method of the problem of Boussinesq,the contact specialties equations are developed.Results show that the contact specialties of the orthogonal face gear are not sensitive to the machining deflection error.
