Experimental Study of Misalignment Effect on Vibration of Helical Gears
Abstract
A helical gear pair can transmit power with low-level vibration and noise as compared with a spur gear. Many studies have been performed on the vibration and noise problem of the spur gear pair, but there are few studies on the helical gear pair, especially one with a narrow facewidth. This paper presents an experimental study on the relation between the vibration and parallelism of axes for three kinds of helical gear pairs. Results obtained have made clear that the deviation exerts an influence on the characteristics of gear vibration more strongly than the inclination, and that the deviation, as well as the inclination, which leads to the leading side bearing, exerts an influence on those more strongly than which leads to the trailing side bearing.
