Abstract

The use of drives based on pan precession gears with a small shaft angle in which multiple-tooth meshing is implemented significantly increases the efficiency and transmitted torque in oil and gas equipment. It also and reduces the breakaway torque by almost an order in comparison with worm gears. The production of pan gears in the semi-rolled version significantly simplifies tooth cutting technology. To exclude the possibility of edge contact of the teeth coming into meshing due to their contact and bending deformations, it is necessary to carry out profile correction of the teeth. To address this issue, a method utilizing a tool with a straight cutting edge displaced from the axial plane of the tool is proposed. Using cutting of the wheel teeth of a semi-rolled pan gear with the proposed tool as an example, calculations of the total profile errors and the tooth surface curvatures are performed to further determine the contact loading of the gear.
