Abstract

The special variable ratio transmission characteristics and complex tooth profile curve of elliptic gears make it difficult to analyse their transmission characteristics, which restrict the application and development of elliptical gears. Given that, a transmission characteristic analysis method based on transmission testing is proposed in this paper. By building a high-precision elliptic gear test rig, the distribution laws of dynamic lost motion, static lost motion, back clearance, stiffness, friction torque and vibration with speeds and loads are analysed and obtained. The results show that the dynamic lost motion and friction torque will increase with the increase of rotating speed. The dynamic lost motion, static lost motion and back clearance will gradually decrease with the increase of load, and the stiffness will gradually increase. Enlarging the load and reducing the speed can restrain the vibration amplitude, which can ensure the transition of the gear system from a bilateral collision state to a unilateral collision state and thus improve the stability of the system.
