Abstract The fixed-setting face-milled curvilinear cylindrical gear features teeth that are arc-shaped along the longitudinal direction. Some researchers hypothesize that this arc-tooth may enhance the lubrication conditions of the gear. This study focuses on this type of gear, employing both finite element analysis (FEA) and analytical methods to determine the input parameters required for elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) analysis. The effects of assembly errors, tooth surface modifications, load, and face-milling cutter radius on the lubrication performance of these gears are systematically investigated. The finite element model (FEM) of the gear pair is utilized to calculate the coordinates… More >
