Abstract

The primary aim of the present study is to develop a micro-deformation method for measuring the quasi-static transmission error in gears. First, the micro-deformation method is introduced, based on which a transmission error measurement scheme is established. Following this, the measurement method is experimentally verified by measuring the quasi-static transmission error of spur gears. Strain data collected by a strain data acquisition system is processed to obtain the transmission error results. Finally, the credibility of the micro-deformation method is substantiated theoretically using material mechanics and transmission error results obtained from the magnetic gate detection method. This study contributes to the advancement of gear transmission research by proposing a novel approach to quantify pseudo-static gear transmission error.
