2 Power Transmission Engineering DECEMBER 2014 WWW.POWERTRANSMISSION.COM]———— More torque. Less friction.

Optimize gearbox units with upgraded SKF Explorer bearings A robust solution for harsh and demanding gearbox environments, upgraded SKF Explorer bearings enable a gear unit to transmit more torque, sustain higher external loads, or even be downsized to improve cost efﬁ ciency. In addition, these bearings provide substantially lower friction than other bearings. In fact, the friction can be reduced by 30% compared to the competition, enabling the gearbox to run cooler and more efﬁ ciently. With expertise in bearings, sealing, and lubrication solutions, SKF engineers can add value to the complete gear unit by enhancing reliability and performance, while improving the cost-effectiveness of the complete solution. For more information, please visit skf.com or contact your Enhance gear unit reliability and improve performance local SKF representative. Upgraded SKF Explorer self-aligning bearings have enhanced wear and contamination resistance, and are better able to sustain external loads – up to 20% more load for a given life of a gear unit.

DECEMBER 2014 Power Transmission Engineering 61 ASK THE EXPERT Pre-Tension Thrust Bearings THE QUESTION

What is the recommended method of gripping a spinning shaft (with up to 130 hp of rotational energy) to install pre-tension thrust bearings and conventional thrust bearings (load = hundreds of pounds) when the shaft cannot have any high points because it must pass through an area of tight clearances to assemble? Will snap rings still withstand the harsh vibration of this environment?

In addition to enhanced special machines with exotic, expensive tools. This book was written and is intended for specialists in Plan- ning, Engineering, Gear Design and Manufacturing. It also serves to help meet the technical information needs of those researchers, scientists and students who deal with the theory and practice of bevel gears and other angular gear systems on a regular basis. What’s more, Gleason Bevel Gear Technology is the first multi-translated textbook available worldwide that goes beyond explicating the abovementioned methods. It also imparts practical suggestions for their application. The basics-oriented, introductory chapters of this book guide both engineers and students with no gear experience in an easy, reader-friendly way through the basics of modern cylindrical and bevel gear technology. A vector math is introduced that enables every gear specialist to create an Excel spread- sheet and conduct their own experiments in order to gain a better understanding of the complex bevel gear geometry. Figure 1 Rear-axle-drive of a passenger car (Source: Daimler AG). It must be noted and acknowledged that The Gear Prax- is — published by Karl Friedrich Keck in 1958 — is the inspira- tion for this book; it describes, in comprehensive detail, bevel gear technology from a mid-20th-Century perspective. Indeed, The Gear Praxis in turn inspired me to write this book, addressing all aspects of the state of actual bevel gear technology — but with an early 21st Century perspective.

Introduction An introduction to gear theory and the fundamental, gear- mathematical explanations required to understand the geometry of bevel gears has been provided in the preceding Figure 2 Shows a luxury vehicle with longitudinally oriented combustion chapters. Thus informed, Chapter 3 will introduce examples engine and a driven rear axle. This concept is used by all automobile of everyday applications in the industry that serve to estab- manufacturers worldwide on luxury-class vehicles that feature one driven axle.

64 Power Transmission Engineering DECEMBER 2014 WWW.POWERTRANSMISSION.COM]———— weight distribution and ideal vehicle handling, the common, disturbing tilt motion and “torque steer” — as in cases of fast gas pedal actuation — are eliminated. While it is more cost-effective to manufacture front-wheel-drive vehicles with “east/ west-oriented” engines, these vehicles present for the operator a combination of disadvantages which include, along with handling, higher fuel consumption. The cross-section of a typical passenger car rear-axle drive unit is shown in Figure 1. The input shaft offset positions the pinion below the ring gear axis; the input is on the right side and comes from the propeller shaft. Both flanges in front of and behind the ring gear will be connected to the rear wheels with driveshafts. The differential carrier with four straight bevel Figure 3 Drive components of a vehicle with all-wheel drive (Source: ZF gears is located inside the ring gear. The two differential gears, Friedrichshafen AG). which are on the ring gear axis, are rigidly connected to the drive flanges. The two radially oriented differential gears are connected with center pins to the differential carrier on which the ring is rigidly bolted. This configuration enables different RPM of the two driving wheels — while the vehicle is negotiat- ing curves, for example — where the wheel towards the inside of the curve requires a lower number of revolutions than the outside wheel. (Fig. 2 shows a luxury-class vehicle with a longitudinally oriented combustion engine and driven rear axle. This concept is used by automobile manufacturers worldwide on luxury-class vehicles that feature one driven axle.) Maximum traction is achieved in every vehicle if all wheels are driven; i.e. — all-wheel-drive (AWD) automobiles. Fig- Figure 4 Light truck (Source: General Motors Corporation). ure 3 shows the drive units of a vehicle with a longitudinally oriented engine and a transmission with a propeller shaft connection to the rear axle. In addition, a transfer case is mounted to the transmission exit that transfers rotation from the transmission exit to the front axle drive. Typically, transfer cases feature mechanical and electromechanical components that allow for differences in RPM and load between the front and rear axle. This is required in order to accommodate a variance in slippage between front and rear axle without winding up the geartrain, as well as the transmission of different torques to the front and rear axle. Eighty percent of the bevel gears in passenger cars are ground, while the remaining 20% are lapped.

Light and Heavy Trucks Figure 5 Sport Utility Vehicle (Source: Chrysler Group LLC). Starting with light trucks, those with one-ton payloads are usually driven by one rear axle — with one bevel gearset in each axle unit. For both light and heavy trucks, the propulsion via the rear axle is considered the standard solution, while all- wheel-drive solutions are optionally available. Commercial trucks use rigid-beam-style axles, where the central transmission housing is welded to the axle tubes. The beam-style axles carry the brake mechanism in the wheel area and are connected to the truck frame with control arms. The driveshafts Figure 6 Class 8 semi-truck, tractor with tandem axle. and their bearings are located within the axle tubes. The driveshafts have at their end, where they protrude beyond the tubes, flanges with the wheel interface. This simple design — as it is applied to trucks — shows no disadvantages. To the contrary, it is a solution that even offers good off-road capabilities. Figure 4 shows a pick-up truck with 2.5-ton payload and a rigid-driven rear axle; the vehicle in Figure 5 is an AWD sport

utility vehicle (SUV). Of additional interest is that even this mixture between light truck and station wagon is mostly equipped with a beam-style rear axle, and a driven, beam- style steering axle in the front. The tractor of the Class 8 semi-truck in Figure 6 has under the trailer pivot a driven- tandem axle; the tandem axle consists of two independent, frame-connected, beam-style axles. The first is connected to the transmission and engine with a propeller shaft, while the second axle is connected with a short propeller shaft to a transfer case located in the housing Figure 8 Backhoe. of the first axle. The transfer case has a fixed ratio that pre- cludes slippage between the axles. Eighty percent of the bevel gears in commercial trucks are lapped after heat treatment as a hard finishing process, while 20% are ground.

Railroad Drives Railroad engines powered with electric motors or diesel engines feature large, longitudinally oriented prime movers whose rotation and torque are transmitted to the wheel axles with driveshafts and bevel gear transmissions. With trolleys, subway cars or commuter trains, smaller individual, electric motors are dedicated to each axle. Also, the longitudinal motor orientation is preferred and a redirection of the motion is realized by bevel gear transmissions (Fig. 7). The bevel gearsets are ground or skived after heat treatment.

Construction Equipment Earth-moving equipment uses bevel gears for auxiliary pur- poses, as well as for their propulsion. The backhoe shown in Figure 8 is very similar to a farm tractor in its basic design concept. Backhoes feature a driven, beam-style rear axle with a spiral bevel gearset (no hypoid offset).

The excavator in Figure 9 (top) has four driven, dual wheels. Engine and transmission are located in the upper-rotatable operator cabin. The propulsion of the wheels is produced from the transmission via a bevel gearset to a vertical shaft through the center of the cabin pivot point; it is then redirected be- neath the suspension frame with a second bevel gearset in the horizontal length direction. Two propeller shafts transmit the drive motion to each of the front and rear beam axles. The two beam axles also include bevel gear- Figure 10 Jet engine with various bevel gear applications. sets for the motion redirection to the wheel axles. Modern scrapers, i.e. — bulldozers (Fig. 9, bottom) — apply hydrostatic-powered track chains; bevel gears are used only for the actuation of auxiliary units. Bevel gears in construction equipment are — depending upon their manufacture — either lapped, ground, skived or built — without any hard finishing operation after heat treatment.

Aviation Jet airplane engines have all moving engine parts oriented around the main shaft. The connection of the turbine rotors is established with Curvic couplings. Auxiliary units require a power take-off from the main shaft, which is accomplished Figure 11 Helicopter with bevel gear actuated main and tail rotor (Source: via bevel gear transmissions (Fig. 10).

Industrial Gearboxes Industrial gearboxes are used in machines and equipment across many different industries. Redirection of motion is as often required as the reduction of RPM between parallel axes. A typical industrial gearbox similar in appearance to what is used to actuate escalators, assembly line belts, lifting devices, and special machines is shown (Fig. 12, left). The efficiency of these gearboxes becomes increasingly important, as many of them have a 24/7 duty cycle. Industrial gearboxes are available with ring gear diameters ranging from below 50 mm up to diameters of 2,000 mm — due to their many different industrial applications. In Figure 12 (right) an angular transmission that drives a larger pump with a ring gear diameter of 1,000 mm is shown. Industrial gearboxes are hard-finished with skiving or grinding after their heat treatment.

Marine Transmissions Stern drives (more commonly known as “outboard motors”) require two bevel gearsets between the motor and propeller. The high-power unit (Fig. 13) has two opposite hand propellers that rotate in opposite directions (twin-prop). The drivetrain of this unit is equipped with CONIFLEX straight bevel Figure 12 Industrial gearboxes with different size. gears that are not hard-finished after heat treatment. Straight bevel gears — with optimized root fillet and a strength-increasing shot peening treatment — show for this particular application a higher root bending strength than spiral bevel gears. Oceangoing vessels with a central, inboard motor utilize bevel gears to run the propeller shafts with changing angles along the hull to the ship’s stern. A power split onto two stern propellers — typical in many large ships — is handled by bevel gearsets with low shaft angles between 5° and 20°. Thrusters (Fig. 14) have been used for many decades in ocean exploration platforms such as those used for pump- ing crude oil. On each of the four corners of such platforms a thruster with a propeller diameter of several meters is attached. The thrusters are used to maneuver the platform from shore to its geographical ocean location; once at the service location, they help maintain platform stability. A thruster’s base construction is reminiscent of a gigantic stern drive. Today’s smaller-size thrusters are used to propel ships; they afford excellent maneuverability — which is why they are used in pilot boats and ice breakers, as well as in ships requiring nimble harbor maneuverability. Thrust- ers can also be attached to a vessel as a module; this eases or eliminates many of the existing restrictions in ship design that can be traced to the conventional “inboard” drivetrain and its location of the motors and propeller shafts. Thrusters use two bevel gearsets (Fig. 14); depending on the application, the ring gear diameters can vary between Figure 13 Stern drive with two propellers (Dual-Prop) (Source: Konrad Marine). 600 mm and 2,500 mm. Ninety percent of the bevel gears for the propulsion of ships are skived, while 10% are ground as a hard finishing operation.

68 Power Transmission Engineering DECEMBER 2014 WWW.POWERTRANSMISSION.COM]———— Special Applications Large bevel gears — not hard-finished after heat treatment — are found in equipment and machines for the surface mining of coal and ore (fracking), as well as for stone crush- ing and stone mills. In some cases these large bevel gears are assembled without any post-cutting heat treatment; in others, a flame or induction hardening is performed. Figure 15 shows an oil drilling platform; the rotation of a horizontally oriented, internal combustion engine is re-directed in the orientation of the drilling rod. This application requires the transmission of high torque with rotary impulses generated by the stone-drilling action and the elasticity of the long rod. The bevel gearset must have a high degree of toughness in order to avoid tooth fracture due to, for example, a locking drill. To fulfill the requirements above, the bevel gears are surface- hardened and, because there is a ring gear diameter of about 1,500 mm in this unit, the bevel gears are hard-finished by skiving, as grinding is usually only recommended for diameters of up to 800 mm.

DECEMBER 2014 Power Transmission Engineering 69 TECHNICAL The Latest Design Technologies For Gear Devices with Great Transmission Ratios Shuting Li Four types of gear devices with great transmission ratios (simply called great ratio gears or GRGs) are discussed in this paper. They are strain wave gearing devices (SWGs), trochoidal gear reducers (TGRs), hypocyclic gear reducers (HGRs) and James Ferguson-type planetary drives (JFDs). The structures, advantages and basic performances of these four devices are compared. The latest design and strength analysis methods are also introduced. To conclude, the future tendencies of GRGs are predicted.

It, too, is now a continuing research project of the author on how to reduce the tooth side-heavier contact through considering a new structure, or by performing tooth lead modifications.

These main procedures are introduced in the following sections. Figure 5 Geometric calculations and automatic drawing of the SWG. Strain wave gearing device (SWG). In the mass production products of the SWG, three kinds of curves are now used as tooth profiles; i.e. — straight line, involute, and arc profiles, respectively. Tooth profile design of the SWG is a difficult thing for designers. This is because tooth profile design of the SWG must take the cam shape of the WG into account since cam shape has direct effects on tooth engagement. It requires very sophisticated technology in order to be able to design a suitable tooth Figure 6 3D FEM model used for contact analysis of SWG.

In this paper an advanced finite element-based contact modeling procedure has been applied to model the high-speed stage with the bearings fully modeled in order to evaluate strain levels. A major conclusion is that the strains of the slotted grooves are at such a level that they have acceptable signal-to-noise levels. This was verified by the results of the initial experiments presented here.

Introduction Motivation and gearbox configuration. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has made a commitment to address wind turbine gearbox reliability as part of its research agenda. A gearbox reliability collaborative (GRC) was developed to address major gearbox issues with the goal of increasing the overall reliability of wind turbines. Many gearbox problems may be a result of poor communication and feedback during the design, op- Figure 1 Exploded view of example gearbox (Ref. 3). eration, and maintenance of turbines (Ref. 1). The GRC is aimed at uniting these equally critical elements of the design process and encouraging collaboration and information sharing. A 750 kW turbine design, representative of many turbines currently in service, was selected by a committee of experts and gearbox consultants hired by NREL under the GRC. The majority of observed failures appears to initiate at bearing locations, and are not a result of gear failures or gear-tooth design deficiencies. The failures appear to initiate at bearing locations and then propagate into other components of the gearbox. During the first iteration of testing there were a number of component failures seen in the gearbox, many of which were attributed to lubricant starvation. Compo- Figure 2 Gearbox bearing locations and nomenclature (Ref. 3). nents damaged in this gearbox included the high-speed gearset, sun spline, and planet bearings (Ref. 2). The gearbox underwent a redesign and so began a new iteration of testing. The GRC gearbox is shown in Figure 1; its design is a speed increaser that includes a planetary stage followed by two parallel shaft stages. The gearbox has a power capacity of 750 kW, with an

High-Speed Shaft Analysis The high-speed stage gears and bearings are acknowledged to be critical components of the gearbox (Refs. 1–2); there previously had been very little instrumentation of the high-speed shaft, gears, and bearings. During the next phase of testing, this portion of the gearbox was to be instrumented. In this next phase, tests were developed to evaluate the loads on the TRBs (Ref. 6). Gauges were placed in axial grooves machined into the outer race of the TRBs. Each bearing has four axial grooves, with two-gages-per-groove. There was initial concern as to whether the strain levels would be high enough in the bearing raceways to pro- Figure 7 Unmodified outer raceway hoop strain of HS SH B for one-time step. vide an adequate signal-to-noise ratio. The outer race of the bearing is tapered; the groove geometry was tapered as well, with the intent of maintaining a constant radial thickness of the raceway along the groove. In this analysis, contact was included in the model at all gear mesh locations and at the high-speed bearings; all other bearings were included as stiff- ness matrices. The high-speed, intermediate-speed, and low-speed stages are shown in Figure 3. The fully modeled bearings can also be seen, and are shown in detail in Figure 4, which also displays the naming convention. Model parameters. An analysis was completed with and without the modified race under 100% torque loading conditions. The TRBs were preloaded with 70 micron of negative clearance to accommodate mounting preload and loads due to thermal expansion of the Figure 8 Unmodified outer raceway hoop strain of HS SH C for one-time step. bearing components.

Bearing strain results. Figure 6 displays the numbering convention used for both TRBs. The first roller in each bearing is located at zero degrees — or top-dead-center (TDC) of the bearing — and increases clockwise while looking downwind (from the left, Fig. 2). The hoop strain was extracted around the circumference of the outer raceway (Figs. 7– 8). The strain was sampled at two axial locations, i.e. — at 25% and 75% of the axial length of the raceway. The results of this analysis are from one time step and can be viewed as if the race was unwrapped and laid flat on the page. Roller 1 is at TDC (0 degrees). The peaks correspond to roller positions; a peak indicates that a roller was Figure 9 Modified outer raceway hoop strain of HS SH B for one-time step. directly under that location and a valley indicates that two rollers are straddling that point. The race with grooves has locations at 0° (Groove A); 90° (Groove B); 180° (Groove C); and 270° (Groove D). Differences in load distribution along the rollers themselves should result in shifts in strain values between the two axial locations, and could be used as an indication of roller load distribution. Figures 9 and 10 illustrate the strains extracted around the circumference of the outer race with the machined grooves; the groove locations are la- beled. Table 1 shows the peak-to-peak, predicted strain indicating the strain caused by direct application of load by a passing roller.

Discussion The grooves, as indicated in Figures 7-10, increased the simulated bear- Figure 10 Modified outer raceway hoop strain of HS SH C for one-time step. ing race strains by as much as 300 %. HS SH B had two groove locations that were either very lightly loaded or were outside the load zone completely — i.e., locations b and c — respectively. These locations did not see the same am- plification as those located directly in the bearing load zone. In general the groove geometry increased strains by a considerable amount. One detriment to modifying the bearing outer race may be that the roller-to-roller load distribution could be affected by the modification. Figures 11 and 12 show the predicted roller loads of HS SH B and

HS SH C, respectively. Green-circled data points represent the locations of the outer raceway modifications; these figures show the total load carried by individual rollers for both the modified and unmodified outer raceway cases. Here the roller-to-roller load sharing is predicted to be minimally affected by the addition of compliance through the introduction of outer raceway grooves.

Implementation of Bearing Race Groove The scheme discussed in this Section 2 has been implemented by the NREL Wind Energy group (Ref. 6) and successfully tested. Its final implementation has an adjusted groove geometry that was applied to accommodate Figure 11 HS SH B roller loads — with and without modified raceway. manufacturing considerations. Also, the bearing preload that was achieved is unknown, but was most certainly considerably lower than that used in the example for this paper. To demon- strate the fidelity of the signals, Figures 13 and 14 show 0-degree slot strains for HS SH B and HS SH C at 75% axial location, respectively. Strain caused by the direct application of load by a roller on the outer raceway is represented in Table 2 as the average peak-to-peak-measured strain. As seen in Figure 13, there is quite a bit of variability in strain levels for each different roller passing. This variability is quite repeatable, with roughly every ninth roller passing corresponding to one shaft revolution. It should be noted here that a torque trace taken from the shaft showed a Figure 12 HS SH C roller loads — with and without modified raceway. significant once-per-revolution torque variation that seems to correlate well with the strain variations. Table 2 shows that HS SH B carries a small amount of load in comparison to HS SH C. As noted earlier — and predicted in Section 2 — this is due to the fact that the axial gear mesh load is supported by HS SH C, while the preload of HS SH B is reduced by this loading. In fact, for the 75% axial position of bearing HS SH B, it appears that virtually no load is carried by this end of the roller at Figure 13 Measured modified outer raceway hoop strain in time for HS SH B, location “A” (0 deg), and positions C and D (Table 2). Because the axial position 75%. analysis presented in Section 2 was performed assuming preload on this set of bearings, the simulations indicate more load carried by each of the bearings.

82 Power Transmission Engineering DECEMBER 2014 WWW.POWERTRANSMISSION.COM]———— Conclusion Here a full transmission model of a 750 kW wind turbine gearbox was modified in order to assess bearing raceway modifications for measurement of strain in order to predict bearing load sharing and load distribution. It is clearly apparent that the modification of the tapered roller bearing outer raceways — through the introduction of a groove — greatly increased the predicted strain in the raceway.
