Abstract

Face gear tooth modeling is one of the study foundations of face gear drives. However, existed face gear tooth modeling solutions, namely traditional conjugation theories, could not express face gear tooth geometry nature due to complex vector equations of face gear teeth. Thus, in this study, a face gear tooth modeling that is not based on conjugation theories is proposed, and extreme geometry boundary conditions of face gear teeth are derived according to face gear tooth geometry characteristics. Furthermore, an example case of face gear teeth is simulated, and a shaping experiment of the example case is conducted. The experiment results indicate the fidelity of the proposed face gear tooth modeling and extreme geometry boundary conditions are accepted. These contributions improve performance calculation solutions and engineering applications of face gear drives.
