Research was directed at finding new methods for generating spur, helical, and spiral-bevel gears that would provide conjugate gear tooth surfaces and localized bearing contact and would reduce kinematic errors (gear noise) caused by gear misalignment. Tooth contact analysis (TCA) computer programs have been developed for these gears. These programs make it possible to simulate gear meshing and bearing contact and to investigate the influence of gear misalignment on kinematic errors. The proposed generation methods can be applied to the spiral-bevel gears by using current machinery and tools, but new tool shapes are needed for the spur and helical gears. Keywords: Machine design, Transmission, Helicopter gears.

This revised, expanded, edition covers the theory, design, geometry and manufacture of all types of gears and gear drives. This is an invaluable reference for designers, theoreticians, students, and manufacturers. This edition includes advances in gear theory, gear manufacturing, and computer simulation. Among the new topics are: 1. New geometry for modified spur and helical gears, face-gear drives, and cycloidal pumps. 2. New design approaches for one stage planetary gear trains and spiral bevel gear drives. 3. An enhanced approach for stress analysis of gear drives with FEM. 4. New methods of grinding face gear drives, generating double crowned pinions, and improved helical gear shaving. 5. Broad application of simulation of meshing and TCA. 6. New theories on the simulation of meshing for multi-body systems, detection of cases wherein the contact line on generating surfaces may have its own envelope, and detection and avoidance of singularities of generated surfaces.

Modification of geometry of spur and helical gears with parallel axes and helical gears with crossed axes is proposed. The finishing process of gear generation is shaving. The purposes of modification of the gear geometry are to localize and stabilize the bearing contact, and to reduce noise and vibration. The goals mentioned above are achieved by using profile crowning and plunging the shaver by a prescribed motion during pinion generation. The pinion becomes double crowned. The gear member is generated as a conventional involute gear. A tooth contact analysis (TCA) program for simulation of meshing and contact was developed and the analysis is illustrated with TCA results for spur and helical gears.
