Abstract

Beveloid gears, also known as conical involute gears, gain more and more importance in industrial practice. They are based on cylindrical gears but have a variable addendum modification along their tooth width. For marine transmissions beveloids are already deployed for a longer period, but there is a growing interest in this type of gears on the part of the automobile industry. Unfortunately the behavior of beveloid gears is not as well understood as the behavior of spur or bevel gears. Therefore the possibilities to evaluate these behaviors have to be enhanced. This paper shows a manufacturing simulation of beveloid gears and the usage of the generated geometries in a general tooth contact analysis program.
