Abstract

To find out a fundamental tooth profile design policy for the scoring of spur gears, the effects of tooth profiles on scoring behavior were examined taking account of the two-cylinder test results. The tip interference on the approach side markedly affects the scoring phenomena. Both the reduction of the maximum specific sliding on the geometrical working flanks and the avoidance of tip interference on the approach side are the essential conditions to obtain spur gears having superior scoring load capacity. In the mixed lubrication state, where the scoring occurrence has an intimate relation with the working flank bulk temperature, the scoring bulk temperature of a spur gear pair with no tip interference on the approach side can be estimated well by the bulk temperature on the outer surface of the cylinder immediately before seizure in two-cylinder tests.
