The impact of geometry errors on the motion transmission of dual path gearing

The article presents the numerical analysis of the impact of geometry errors on the motion transmission of dual path gearing. The strength calculations of the elements of the drive were made by means of the Finite Elements Method (FEM). The calculations were made for the two-dimensional models of the dual path gearing. In the first place, the drive of the error-free (theoretical) geometry was tested. Next, the modifications of the selected teeth were introduced to the calculation models. The aim of the modifications of the tooth profile was to simulate pitch errors in compliance with the admissible values defined by PN-ISO 1328-1:2015 norm “Cylindrical gears – ISO system of flank tolerance classification”. Finally, all the results were put together for comparison. The obtained results confirm the high irregularity of work gear as a result of errors tooth geometry.
