Abstract:
A core of a worm wheel has an axial end surface formed with a first annular recess nad and another axial end surface formed with a second annular recess. A rim portion has a first inner circumferential portion fixed to the first annular recess and a second inner circumferential portion fixed to the second annular recess. An outer circumferential wall surface of the second annular recess extends from a bottom surface of the second annular recess so as to be perpendicular to the bottom surface. A depth of the second annular recess is at least 0.1 mm but not deeper than half of a gate thickness.
Abstract:
A bevel gear drive with two bevel gears rotates about respective rotation axes intersecting at an intersection point, forming an angle of intersection. A computer determines the tooth shape of these tooth flanks based on data other than a tooth shape. The data are characteristic for a particular contact path represented by a sequence of contact points. The tooth shape of the tooth flanks is determined for several contact paths, with the interacting tooth flanks at all contact points having a common normal, which passes through a pitch point located between the two rotation axes and spaced from the intersection point equal to the radius r. Geometry data for the bevel gear are determined from the shape of the tooth flanks and stored in a format suitable for automatically generating a parts program for a processing machine with at least five axes.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a gearwheel (1) with a gear rim (2) and an insert (3) whose external diameter (d3) is greater than half of the external diameter (d1) of the gearwheel (1), wherein the insert (3) is surrounded by injection molding by means of a cone mold during the manufacture of the gearwheel. In particular, the gear rim (2), including gear teeth on the external circumference, is formed at the same time during the injection molding process.
Abstract:
A gear assembly including a main gear including a first hub, a first gear ring positioned about the first hub, and a first helically splined region. The gear assembly further includes a sub-gear co-axially disposed relative to the main gear with a resilient member disposed therebetween. The sub-gear including a second hub, a second gear ring positioned about the second hub, and a second helically splined region complementary to the first helically splined region.
Abstract:
A compliant gear assembly for a gear train of an internal combustion engine includes a hub subassembly having a first hub component and a second hub component. The first hub component defines a first axis, and the compliant gear assembly includes a gear ring rotatable relative to the hub subassembly and defining a gear ring axis of rotation. The second hub component is movable relative to the first hub component between a first stop position and a second stop position. A compliance mechanism is coupled between the first hub component and the second hub component and biases the second hub component toward the first stop position. Translating the second hub component relative to the first hub component in a direction normal to the first axis attenuates torque spikes induced for example via fuel injector actuation and/or cylinder firing in an engine gear train employing the compliant gear assembly.
Abstract:
An automatic transmission has a park system with a shaft and a parking pawl. The shaft rotates in response to a gear shift lever, and a detent lever positions the parking pawl in response to rotation of the shaft. A detent spring assembly biases the detent lever and has a detent spring, cage, and roller assembly. The cage aligns the roller assembly, while the detent spring is connected to the cage at one end and has a flat reaction surface formed at a second end. A cage notch portion aligns the cage with the detent lever, and the roller assembly into a perpendicular orientation with detent lever teeth. The notch portion engages either a detent tooth or a stationary portion of an internal mode switch (IMS). A shaft inserts into a roller through a side hole in the cage to retain the roller assembly therewithin.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a skew gear constructed as a built skew gear and provided with attenuation. The skew gear wheel has a first flange for rotation-locked arrangement of the skew gear on a shaft or a pinion, a second flange or a disk, and a ring gear arranged and rotatable therebetween. The two flanges, or the first flange and the disk, are frictionally or positively connected with one another, wherein their respective elements providing the connection extend through the ring gear in the axial direction. According to the invention, at least one elastomeric element is overmolded on an inside contour of the ring gear for forming the attenuation, so that the ring gear and the attenuation form a single unit.
Abstract:
A scissors gear may include a main gear and a sub-gear co-axially combined by a scissors spring therebetween to integrally rotate, a first oil supply hole formed in the main gear or the sub-gear to supply oil from the outside, an oil groove formed in the sub-gear or the main gear to receive the oil by being selectively communicated with the first oil supply hole, and a check valve that is disposed in the main gear or the sub-gear to open/close the oil groove.
Abstract:
A gear having a thin-walled section formed on one end face among two end faces of a tooth in a tooth-width direction is provided. A portion of the thin-walled section is projected and formed so as to serve as an overhanging section. The overhanging section prevents backlash. A thickness T3 of the overhanging section, a thickness T2 of a tooth flank corresponding section, and a thickness T1 of a tooth crest corresponding section positioned therebetween satisfies the relation T1
Abstract:
An electrical steering system for a motor vehicle, having an electric motor having a worm gear which is made up of a worm and a worm wheel, coupled to an input shaft, having a ring gear, worm wheel forming one of the two coupling parts, that are to be coupled to each other, of an elastic compensation coupling whose other coupling part is connected, rotatably fixed, to the input shaft. The two coupling parts are coupled to each other only by one or by a plurality of elastic spacers.
