Abstract:

Spiral bevel gears have been studied. A general model to describe the geometry is given and applied to gears manufactured by the Klingelnberg Palloid method. Gear pair cooperation relations are given and a load distribution model is used to calculate the maximum contact and fillet stresses for some Klingelnberg gear pairs.

An experimental investigation was carried out. The strains at the fillet surface were measured and compared to calculated values. The agreement between test and calculation is satisfactory.
