Abstract:

A gear is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, which mesh with another toothed part in order to transmit torque. Gears may be spur, helical, bevel or worm in which Helical Gear is most common type of gear used in engineering applications. The increased in performance requirement such as high load carrying capacity, high speed, high reliability and long life leads to new design of gear. These gears should be strong; corrosion resistance light weighted and should be durable for a long time. The bending and surface strength of the gear tooth are considered to be one of the main contributors for the failure of the gear in a gear set. Thus, the analysis of stresses on gears is to minimize or to reduce the failures and for optimal design of gears. This work investigates the characteristics of a helical gear system mainly focused on bending and contact stresses using analytical and finite element analysis. Mating gears of both gear and pinion is taken to be same materials with same size. The model for helical gear and pinion was done in Pro-E and stress analysis was carried out using ANSYS. The results obtained from ANSYS are presented in this work.
