Friction Loss of Non-Involute Tooth Profile Gears

Kazuteru Nagamura, Kiyotaka IKEJO, Susumu Saitoh

Abstract

We measured the friction losses of involute- cycloid tooth profile gear, modified cycloid tooth profile gear and involute gear using a power circulating-type gear testing machine, by the oil immersion formula, whose method is based on the oil temperature rise due to the power loss in the gear drives. It was found that the involute- cycloid tooth profile gear has the least friction loss in the three gears. Furthermore, we calculated the gear friction losses of these gears. The calculated value agreed approximately with the experimental data.
