Investigating the wear behaviours of new type curvilinear gears

Abstract

In this study, the wear behaviors of curvilinear involute-profile gears, which were intended to be used in the industry and manufactured successfully, have been identified. For this purpose, the gears have been manufactured and attached to a FZG gear analysis bench; then, they were compared with spur gears by examining the behaviors of curvilinear involute-profile gears under different loads at different speeds, certain cycles. As a result of these analyses conducted, it has been determined that the wear behaviors of these newly manufactured curvilinear involute-profile gears are better than the behaviors of the spur gears, and in the increasing number of cycles, the curvilinear involute-profile gears had less wear than the spur gears have.
