The mathematical model of non-circular crossed-axis gear

Non-circular crossed gear can be regarded as the general form of the single stage gear, which can be converted into hypoid gearing, non-circular bevel gearing, non-circular external gearing, and non-circular internal gearing with specific parameters. This paper established its mathematical model, deduced equation of its axode, and put forward a new method of tooth profile generation with introduction of relative velocity. In term of the theory above, the 3D model of a pair of conjugated gears was built, and its output angular velocity was obtained in analysis of ADAMS. Finally, the physical prototype of the gearing was developed and output angular velocity was measured as well. Both the simulation and measurement results show the motion is in good condition, which confirms the correctness of the theory and algorithm.
