PROFILE MODIFICATION AND VALIDATION OF A SPUR GEAR TO INCREASE THE GEAR

TOOTH STRENGTH

1 Background DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

• The idea of using asymmetric tooth profiles has gained popularity in
practice of gearing design. Similarly to the symmetric basic rack
gears, tooth action parameters are calculated during the first stage,
while the unified generating basic rack for a pair of mating gears
during the second stage.
• In certain cases the parameters of specific basic rack tooth profiles
are set for each gear in a transmission. The gearings with asymmetric
profiles display an advantage in having the increased pressure angle
over the operating profiles (via the pressure angle reduction over the
non-operating profiles) and a possibility of considerable increase in
the face contact ratio.

• In this project symmetric & asymmetric gears is designed and
modeled in 3D modeling software CATIA. In gears we used three
different angles 20, 30&35 angles are modeled. Structural and Fatigue
analysis is done on the Gears used two materials AISI 1050 Steel and
EN31 steel,
• By observing the structural analysis results, the stress values are more
asymmetric at 300angle than that of asymmetric at 350 angles and
symmetric at 20 angle.
• So we are manufacturing of asymmetric gear at 35° pressure angle
and using EN 31 steel is a better material.
