Abstract

Gears are machine elements used to transmit rotary motion between two shafts, normally with a constant ratio. This paper presents a computer modelling and simulation showing how the gear contact ratio affects a spur gear system. The analysis presented in this paper is performed by using a Six Degree of Freedom (6DOF) dynamic model of a one-stage spur gear system. In the analysis, the contact ratio was varied over the range 1.6456 to 2.1256. In order to simplify the analysis, other parameters related to contact ratio were held constant. The simulation was performed using MATLAB and the model was tested at two frequencies of 570 and 833 Hz. The contact ratio was found to have a significant influence on gear dynamics. A contact ratio close to 2 provided maximum values for Minimum and Maximum tooth stiffness at both the tested frequencies. The paper derives the conclusion that contact ratio 2 is best suited to the model under consideration to obtain highest tooth stiffness.
