ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF NON-PARALLELISM OF SHAFTS' AXES ON THE CONTACT AREA OF COOPERATING TEETH AND GEARBOX'S COMPONENTS VIBRATIONS

In this article, the results of experimental research and simulation studies using a geometric model made in CAD software were presented. The aim of the conducted research and simulations was to determine the influence of nonparallelism of shafts' axes on gearbox vibroactivity and the contact area of the cooperating teeth. The results showed that the change of the non-parallelism of shafts' axes significantly affects the vibrations of selected components of the operating gearbox and the contact area of cooperating teeth.
