Numerical study concerning the influence of contact ratio at helical involute gears

Abstract

In the present paper some aspects of the influence of the overlap ratio of the gear set on its dynamic comportment was studied. In this aim, the values of angular acceleration of two helical involute gear sets having the same characteristics - excepting the face width - are determined. The study is performed using a software in the category of The Multibody Dynamics Simulation Solution for simulation the dynamic comportment for various width of the driven gear, at various torques and various angular velocities.
