Abstract

This paper presents a method to design a compound non-circular gear (CNCG) train with an improved cycloid tooth profile. First, the research established a mathematical model describing the centrodes of the CNCG train to create a variable gear ratio function. Then, the tooth profile of non-circular gears in the CNCG trains is shaped by a rack cutter whose tooth profile is an improved cycloid. A CNCG train with a speed variation range from 1.4 to 5.8 has been experimentally designed and manufactured. A system of experimental equipment to determine the gear ratio function of the CNCG train based on the meshing between the gear pairs in the CNCG train has been manufactured. The experimental results show that the maximum error of the gear ratio function experimental compared to the theoretical one is 4.74%. It shows that the results of this research can be applied into practical systems that require speed variations.
