Abstract

Gear couplings are used to transmit torque, and theoretically all teethes transmitted the same amount of torque and there is no difference in meshing force for each tooth. In practice, due to manufacturing and mounting errors, not all teeth transmit the same amount of torque, and then resulting in an uneven load between teeth and an over loading condition may occur. In this paper, a theoretical model of meshing force of gear coupling in misalignment and the finite element method was used to calculate the meshing force and its variation with the amount of misalignment. The calculated results and the simulation results were compared, and the reasons for the discrepancy were also analyzed. The results in this paper can provide a basis for further corrections to the theoretical model of meshing force of gear coupling in misalignment, and it may take a reference value for engineering applications.
