Abstract

Within a funded research project (BMWi—Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy of Germany), the load-carrying capacity of alternative involute gears was investigated. To find qualified variations for use in gear drives, increased pressure angles (αn > 20°) and/or asymmetric tooth shapes (αn < 20° and αn > 20°) have been examined experimentally. Optimization goals were the power to weight ratio of the transmission and the power density in the drive train. In this report gears with reference tooth shape as well as gears with asymmetric tooth shape are discussed with focus on the tooth root bending strength. The results of experimental and test accompanying studies allow a direct comparison between standard and special gears as well as a classification in context of the actual state of the art. Not only well recognized standards have been applied to the experimental results but advanced calculation methods, too.
