Abstract
In this study, the vibration characteristics of gearbox considering the eccentricity error and the friction excitation of helical gear pair were evaluated theoretically and experimentally. A geometric model of a single-stage helical gear pair with eccentricity error was established to obtain the calculation formula of the length of the dynamic contact line and the friction excitation. The multi-degree-of-freedom dynamic model of the transmission system was established considering the influences of tooth friction, support stiffness and damping, meshing stiffness and damping, static error, and dynamic tooth backlash. Then, the dynamic meshing forces of the system were obtained and applied to the gearbox for vibration response analysis using mode superposition method. A correlation test rig was developed to measure vibration under different operating conditions for verifying the correctness of the simulation models. Comparison between simulation and test was performed to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed model in predicting vibrations. Results showed that eccentricity greatly influenced the overall vibration characteristics. The relative error between measurement and prediction can be significantly reduced by considering the eccentricity error in the dynamic model of transmission system.
