Analysis of Lathe Machine Tumbler Gear Mechanism Using Finite Element Methodology

Abstract

Gear is the special division of Mechanical Engineering concerned with the transmission of power and motion between the rotating shafts. In this study, a lathe machine tumbler gear mechanism used for threading purpose is taken and applied finite element analysis methodology on each metallic spur gears. Main purpose of this study is to compare FEA stresses of metallic spur gears with the AGMA standard stress. Modelling of gears is done in PRO-ENGINEERING and analysis is done using ANSYS workbench v11.
