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 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.
