A Study of Parameters of Optimized Helical Gears
Abstract
This paper is an extension of earlier work of A. Kader [2003], which dealt with the non-linear optimization technique for design of a compact helical gear set. The concept of design space based on module was developed. In the present work, the effects of different input parameters such as power transmission, gear speed, gear ratios, pressure angle, helix angle, face width, and material properties on the optimal volume have been studied. It is observed that the optimal volume is directly proportional to the power transmission and inversely proportional to the gear speed, the pressure angle, and helix angle. Also different materials properties are used to study its effect on the optimal values of the volume and the corresponding helix angle, face range, number of teeth on the pinion, module size, and face width for both the pressure angles 20 ° and 25 ° have been evaluated. An attempt has also been made to correlate the modes of failure and material properties in different conditions.
