SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS OF TRANSMISSION ERROR IN HELICAL NON CIRCULAR GEAR MODEL

Gears are one of the most critical components in mechanical power transmission systems. Transmission error is considered to be one of the m ain contributors to noise and vibration in a gear set. Transmission error measurement has become popular as an area of research. To estimate transmission error in a gear system, the characteristics of involute gears were analyzed using ANSYS. The contact stresses were examined using 2-D FEM models. The bending stresses in the tooth root were examined using a 3-D FEM model.
