Utilization of Tooth Contact Pattern in a Gear Meshing Model for Estimation of Sliding Loss in a Parallel-Axis Gear Pair

The utilization of tooth contact pattern in a gear meshing model for estimation of sliding loss in a spur and helical gear pair is presented in this paper. The photo of tooth contact pattern taken after the gear operation is used as the database to generate the simplified tooth contact pattern. Then the simplified contact pattern is used along with the gear meshing model to estimate the sliding loss of a gear pair. Experiments are done to verify the results. The estimated results from the presented method agree well with the experimental results. The presented method is able to estimate the effect of the helix angle on the sliding loss correctly whereas the estimation without using the data of tooth contact pattern cannot.
