THE POSSIBILITIES OF IMPROVING THE OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF VEHICLE GEAR BY THE USE OF CYLINDRICAL ARCHED TOOTH GEAR DRIVE

Abstract

In this article, one of the most promising methods of increasing the operational characteristics of a vehicle gear by the use of cylindrical gear drives with arched teeth is presented. Despite a number of advantages, these gearings are not widely used due to design and manufacture complexity. Possible options of edge cutting machining of cylindrical gearwheel arched teeth are considered. The progressive process technology proposed by the authors combines the roughing by multi-purpose cutter head for bevel gear with circular tooth and finishing by cutter head with zero angle of cutting edge.
