27、 theoretically precise process and. therefore necessitates a precise pre-calculation.Depending on the branch, highly differing methods areused; key words are the five-cut method, in which the. / ring gear is prepared in two cuts (roughed down) andcompleted (finished) and the pinion is roughed down a
28、ndeach flank individually finished. However, the completingmethod is increasingly gaining in popularity here aswell, whereby the gear and pinion are completed in asingle operation. As in circular arc gear cutting the_ 1 blades for the inner and outer cutters have different7723 radii, the completing
29、method requires a special designeg. using the duplex-helical method. For circular arcgear cutting, highly efficient processing methods havebeen developed which can beused to particular advantageFigure 8:Tool radii in a continuous process if the ring gear can be produced in a plunging processon the b

AGMA meeting last year: report by TedKrenzer). Apparently, other design criteria are morei important than the gear cutting system, provided themain
31、 drive data are similar.One definite advantage of circular arc gearcutting is that it is possible to grind very8518 economically with cup wheels in completing designs. Itis also possible to grind the continuously produced gearcutting with a cup wheel with an epicycloid as the toothlongitudinal line.
32、 The difference between the arc formof the grinding wheel and the epicycloid form of theFigure 9: Split blade head for individual and small tooth in lengthwise direction is within the stockseries manufacture allowance. However, this form of gear cutting requiresseparate processing of the right and l

37、of the original L-design. The design has low convexity values due to thehigh noise requirements. For the drive, dislocationvalues below load classes I and II are known. These load .,_,_,_,_:,_? ,-“classes correspond to 30% and 100% nontlnal load Figure 12 shows load-free contact areas for the zero -

39、 less sensitiveto dislocations, although the single-flank gear generating 1191Conta_ area ana slngEeflank gearerror was further improved (figure 13).

The drive is far quieter in the entire Figure 11: Contact area and single-flank gear generatingload area than the original design, error of a gear set (original design)The followi

The Hertzian stress canbereduced by increasing the profile crowning, which issimply conducted by altering the input data for thegrinding process. One then receivesa con
