Abstract
Contact pattern and transmission error were compared for two different methods of simulating tooth generation and power transmission characteristics of hypoid gears. One method incorporates pinion and gear tooth flanks that are generated individually as a function of the parameters of the tooth cutting machine, and the other method uses the same gear tooth flank, but a different pinion tooth flank. The reference pinion tooth flank is a virtual one generated mathematically by a computer and it is conjugate to the gear tooth flank. The latter method uses the composite error surface of mating tooth flanks in the analysis. The calculated results were also compared with measured results obtained for four hypoid gear with four different kinds of tooth contact patterns. These investigations show the validity of the latter method for simulating the performance of hypoid gears. With this method, a gear engineer can apply knowledge of cylindrical involute gears to hypoid or bevel gears in predicting their performance.
