Investigation on Dynamic Characteristic of Geared Rotor System Composed of Ultrahigh Molecular Polyethylene Gear and Metal Gear

Abstract

A geared rotor system model consisting of UPE gears and steel gears for medium speed, medium load and long servo time is proposed. The solid models of steel-steel, steel-UPE and UPE-UPE gear systems were established. The dynamic models of steel-UPE gear system and UPE-UPE gear system were reconstructed by using the theoretical mechanical model of UPE. The time-varying meshing stiffness of three gear systems is analyzed. The vibration responses of three gear systems are studied by STFT method. The dynamic loads of three gear systems under different loads and rotational speeds are researched in detail, and the changing rules of dynamic loads of three gear systems under different loads and rotational speeds are revealed. At last, the first ten modes of three gear systems are calculated and the results are discussed. At the same time, the modal results are used to verify the correctness of the research on vibration response and dynamic load of three gear systems.
