摘要:
A surface processing method and power transmission component includes refining a surface region of a metal from a first roughness to a second roughness less than the first roughness. A solid lubricous coating or a hard coating is then deposited on the surface region. The metal has a surface hardness above 50 Rc to reduce the risk that the metal will deform under the coating and leave the coating unsupported. The surface region of the metal may be transformed into a nitrogen-containing compound or solid solution surface region before the surface refining step and deposition of the coating.
摘要:
There is a gear set. The gear set has a) a first gear having a first surface and b) an intermeshing second gear having a second surface. The first and second surfaces each, independently, have an isotropic arithmetic mean roughness, Ra, of about 0.0762 micrometers/3 microinches or less and are lubricated. There is also a method for increasing the contact surface-fatigue life of a gear set.
摘要:
A split torque gearbox having multiple input shafts. Each input shaft is connected to two face gears. Each face gear is connected to two quill shafts, one is coaxially mounted and the second is not coaxially mounted. Of the two quill shafts, one is positioned on a first side of an output stage and a second quill shaft is located on a second side of the output stage and the quill shafts are connected thereto. The output stage is connected to a main shaft.
摘要:
A method for improving acoustic and vibrational properties of gears includes determining the transmission errors of intermeshing gears due to stiffness variations in the gear teeth, performing Gear Tooth Topological (GTT) modifications to compensate for the errors, and isotropically processing the gears to produce an ultra-smooth surface finish. Additional errors from isotropic processing, machining, loading, thermal effects and/or load sharing may be summed with the errors from the stiffness variations and used for the GTT modifications. The teachings of the present invention may reduce noise by as much as 13 to 15 dB.
