Overview of the State of the Art for Beveloid Gears

Project Description

Beveloid gears are spur gears (or helical) with an addendum coefficient that varies linearly along the tooth width. These gears are particularly interesting when mounted with parallel axes, as they can be used to reduce backlash. They are used in transmissions for marine or robotic fields. Such gears have been studied by different research groups over the last 70 years. Therefore, it is necessary to have a state-of-the-art study that brings together all that has been done so far.

Prerequisites

• Sound knowledge of basic mathematics;
• Basic knowledge of gear theory;
• Basic knowledge of kinematics and dynamics,
• Basic knowledge of machine construction;

Target Objectives

Perform a study on beveloid gears:

• Different uses in power transmission;
• Basic geometry;
• Contact characteristics of beveloid gears;
• Machining and grinding of beveloid gears;
• Main applications.

Expected Results

• Knowledge of the state of the art about gears (beveloid gears in particular);
• Capacity to perform systematic bibliographic research;
