The aim of the present paper was to perform a review and to collect practical examples in order to provide interesting tips and guidelines for gear design, including both its dimensioning and its lubrication. From this point of view, this paper is particularly novel, as it is a full-comprehensive collection of all the tools supporting gear design. Several practical aspects have been taken into account, including the definition of the right profile shifting, the selection of a proper lubricant, and the definition of the quality grade and of the tolerances needed to obtain the correct backlash. Finally, a numerical example is provided, addressing the research of the best solution to fit a given space, while maximizing the transmittable torque over weight ratio for two mating spur gears. Keywords: gear; profile shift; gear optimization; gear tolerances; gear lubrication 1. Introduction The modern design of mechanical parts, such as gears, goes through the continuous demand for a high level of efficiency and reliability, as well as an increased load carrying capacity and endurance life. At the same time, the concepts of “robust design” and “optimization” involve nowadays the need for a very high-power density (involving smaller size, lower weight, lower noise and vibrations), as well as longer service intervals [1,2]. Finally, the aspects related to sustainability (analysis of the impact on the environment) and low-cost design are also commonly regarded as driving forces in the development of modern products. Within this framework, gear design must address, for example, low consumption of lubrication oil, keeping hydraulic losses as low as possible [3]. Oil/air mist (micro-fog) may be used for bearing and gear lubrication, especially in combination with compact design approaches, for instance in the field of machine tool industry. Regarding this point, an applicative example is shown in Figure1. A continuous lubrication can be achieved by this strategy, involving very low oil quantities with consequent consumption sharp reduction. Depending on the application, the type of oil, whose main feature is viscosity, can be selected between ISO VG32 (high speed) and ISO VG 68 (high load). The oil flow, Q [mm3/h], being needed for lubrication by micro-fog, can be evaluated by Equation (1), where Dm is the mean bearing diameter or the gear pitch diameter. Q = 1.2 Dm to 1.3 Dm (1) · · Lubricants 2020, 8, 84; doi:10.3390/lubricants8090084 www.mdpi.com/journal/lubricants Lubricants 2020, 8, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 20 estimated as Q = 3000 mm3/h.

  • Magnetic Continuously Variable Transmission
    December 2017, Volume 4, Issue 12 JETIR (ISSN-2349-5162) MAGNETIC CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION 1 Mr. Akash Patel, 2Mr. Ravi Gondaliya 1(BE Student – Department of Automobile Engineering, NSIT Campus) 2(BE Student – Department of Automobile Engineering, NSIT Campus) Abstract— This project describes a continuously variable transmission device, in which torque transmission and variable gear ratio is achieved by magnetic means. It consists of three concentric pulleys: control pulley, input and output pulleys. All three pulleys have number of pole-pairs on the outer surfaces. The output shaft from engine is connected to input pulley. The output pulley is connected to final drive by means of centrifugal clutch. First pulley starts rotating with the help of engine. We use the control pulley to obtain similar direction movement from input pulley to output pulley. By use of this Magnetic CVT we can enhance the overall performance of vehicle. This Magnetic CVT has scope in future or we can say that it is the only option regarding to efficiency problem in automatic transmission vehicle. Index Terms—mCVT, magnetic CVT, I. INTODUCTION: In automobile area power transmission is done by the gear, belt or chain. In car and heavy duty vehicle mechanical gear are use and in two wheeler chain are use. But in both case of transmission fix gear ratio use and the gear change manually for avoiding gear changing found automatic transmission system in which CVT (continuously variable transmission) system use. The term continuously variable transmission also usually implies that torque may be controlled independently of speed ratio and vice versa.

  • General Applications of Gears
    UNIT - III GEAR MANUFACTURING PROCESS SPRX1008 – PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY - II Gears are widely used in various mechanisms and devices to transmit power and motion positively (without slip) between parallel, intersecting (axis) and non-intersecting non parallel shafts, •without change in the direction of rotation •with change in the direction of rotation •without change of speed (of rotation) •with change in speed at any desired ratio Often some gearing system (rack – and – pinion) is also used to transform Rotary motion into linear motion and vice-versa. Fig.1 Features of Spur Gear Gears are basically wheels having, on its periphery, equispaced teeth which are so designed that those wheels transmit, without slip, rotary motion smoothly and uniformly with minimum friction and wear at the mating tooth – profiles. To achieve those favorable conditions, most of the gears have their tooth form based on in volute curve, which can simply be defined as Locus of a point on a straight line which is rolled on the periphery of a circle or Locus of the end point of a stretched string while its unwinding over a cylinder as indicated in Fig. General Applications of Gears Gears of various type, size and material are widely used in several machines and systems requiring positive and stepped drive. The major applications are: • Speed gear box, feed gear box and some other kinematic units of machine tools • Speed drives in textile, jute and similar machineries • Gear boxes of automobiles • Speed and / or feed drives of several metal forming machines • Machineries for mining, tea processing etc. • Large and heavy duty gear boxes used in cement industries, sugar industries, cranes, conveyors etc.

  • Basic Fundamentals of Gear Drives
    Basic Fundamentals of Gear Drives Course No: M06-031 Credit: 6 PDH A. Bhatia Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] BASIC FUNDAMENTALS OF GEAR DRIVES A gear is a toothed wheel that engages another toothed mechanism to change speed or the direction of transmitted motion. Gears are generally used for one of four different reasons: 1. To increase or decrease the speed of rotation; 2. To change the amount of force or torque; 3. To move rotational motion to a different axis (i.e. parallel, right angles, rotating, linear etc.); and 4. To reverse the direction of rotation. Gears are compact, positive-engagement, power transmission elements capable of changing the amount of force or torque. Sports cars go fast (have speed) but cannot pull any weight. Big trucks can pull heavy loads (have power) but cannot go fast. Gears cause this. Gears are generally selected and manufactured using standards established by American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This course provides an outline of gear fundamentals and is beneficial to readers who want to acquire knowledge about mechanics of gears. The course is divided into 6 sections: Section -1 Gear Types, Characteristics and Applications Section -2 Gears Fundamentals Section -3 Power Transmission Fundamentals Section -4 Gear Trains Section -5 Gear Failure and Reliability Analysis Section -6 How to Specify and Select Gear Drives SECTION -1 GEAR TYPES, CHARACTERISTICS & APPLICATIONS The gears can be classified according to: 1. the position of shaft axes 2.
