Abstract

Skiving is an efficient method for manufacturing face gears, but theoretical machining errors may occur when face gears designed for shaping or grinding are processed by skiving. This study presents a face gear directly designed for the skiving process, eliminating theoretical machining errors. Additionally, a new design approach for the cylindrical gear is proposed to pair with this face gear. The tooth surface models of both the cylindrical pinion and face gear are established. For the pinion, surface modifications are applied in both profile and longitudinal directions, while the face gear’s tooth surface model is tailored for the skiving process to avoid theoretical machining errors. The contact performance, including transmission error, contact stress, and contact pattern, is evaluated through Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA). An optimization model is developed to identify the optimal cylindrical gear tooth surface parameters, targeting improved contact performance. The proposed method is validated by a case study, which shows that the optimized face gear transmission results in lower maximum contact stress and reduced transmission error amplitude.
