Abstract
According to the GFKT-C/8.3/90 FZG gear micropitting test procedure, the average value of gear tooth profile deviation is used as the failure criterion. Typically, gear tooth profile deviation is measured using a gear measuring machine. In order to do that during the FZG gear test, the gears tested have to be disassembled from, and assembled to the test rig. This process is tedious, time-consuming and is likely to add uncertainty to the testing results. An in situ gear tooth profile measurement method has been developed and applied in FZG gear micropitting tests. The tooth profile of the tested gear was measured in-situ in the gearbox before, during and after each load stage of the gear micropitting test. An algorithm was developed to fit the measured profile to its theoretical shape. Furthermore, a tooth profile change evaluation algorithm was developed for monitoring the evolution of the tooth profile during the duration of the test. The whole methodology was exemplified with a wrought gear test case run to pitting damage.
