Abstract :

The characteristics of an involute gear system and transmission errors of gears in mesh. Ge� is one of the most critical components in mechanical power transmission systems. Transmission error is considered to be one of the main contributors to noise and viation in a gear set. Transmission error measurement has become popular as an area of research on gears and is possible method for quality control. To estimate transmission error in a gear system, the characteristics of involute spur gears were analyzed by using the finite element method. Transmission error can be achieved by inserting a contact element placed in between the two areas where contact occurs. The results of the two dimensional FEM analyses from ANSYS are presented. These stresses were compared with the theoretical values. Both results agree very well. This indicates that the FEM model is accurate.
