Abstract

Gear transmission systems are one of the most frequently used systems for power transmission. The characteristics of a gear transmission system have important guiding significance in the design, manufacture and application of transmissions. This paper focuses on the influence of system parameters on the characteristics of a specific type of gear transmission, the nutation drive with double circular arc spiral bevel gears. Based on the transmission ratio analysis of single-stage and two-stage nutation drive systems, the system parameters, including nutation angle, gear spiral angle, pitch angle and cone distance, were defined. An analysis of the influence of system parameters on transmission efficiency was performed. Furthermore, the influence of system parameters on axial misalignment and cone displacement error was investigated. Finally, by changing the input frequency, input load, nutation angle, and spiral angle, variation regularity of the dynamic meshing force was obtained. A transmission performance analysis based on the influence of system parameters was achieved and provides the theoretical basis for better design of the nutation drive with double circular arc spiral bevel gear.
