摘要:
Components, such as gears and other power transmission components, are formed by near-net-forging a high strength, high toughness ferrous metal alloy, surface processing metal alloy to form a hardened surface region (28), and coating the surface region with a lubricious coating (84) as shown in FIG. 9.
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.
摘要:
A surface processing method includes the step of increasing a surface hardness of a metal having a nominal composition that includes about 0.21-0.25 wt % carbon, about 2.9-3.3 wt % chromium, about 11-12 wt % nickel, about 13-14 wt % cobalt, about 1.1-1.3 wt % molybdenum, and a balance of iron from a first hardness to a second hardness. For example, the method is used to produce a surface-hardened component that includes a core section having a first hardness between about 51 HRC and 55 HRC and a case section having a second hardness that is greater than the first hardness.

摘要:
A drive train assembly for a rotor assembly having ducted, coaxial counter-rotating rotors includes a sprag clutch, an engine coupling subassembly, a transmission coupling subassembly, and a drive shaft mechanically interconnected at the ends thereof to the engine and transmission coupling subassemblies, respectively. The drive train assembly is design optimized to maximize the functional capability of the sprag clutch, the engine coupling subassembly including an external crown spline coupling, internal spline coupling combination that is mounted in combination with the sprag clutch so that loads transmitted through the external crown spline coupling react through the center of the sprag clutch. Further, the drive train assembly is design optimized to maximize allowable axial, angular, and/or parallel misalignments between the engine and the rotor assembly as a result of the mechanical interconnection of the drive shaft to the external crown spline coupling, internal spline coupling combination of the engine coupling subassembly and to the external crown spline coupling, gear spline coupling combination of the transmission coupling subassembly. The drive shaft is configured as a torque tube having inside and outside diameters sized to provide torsionally soft drive shaft such that the drive shaft functions as a torsional spring to isolate spline coupling teeth, the sprag clutch, transmission gearing, and the rotor assembly from vibratory torque generated by the engine.
