Girth gears are applied in the mining, cement, and mineral processing industries and used in various types of horizontal mills, rotary dryers and kilns, and other heavy-gear ring applications. The large ring gears are normally fitted outside mills or kilns to provide the primary rotational drive. Recently, an external pinwheel gear set (e-PGS) was introduced to overcome manufacturing problems associated with girth gears. e-PGS is also suitable for low-speed, heavy-duty mechanical transmission and dusty and poor-lubrication conditions. This paper first presents a new profile modification of root relief for the e-PGS cam pinion. We then investigate load-stress factors to estimate the surface fatigue life by varying the shape design parameters. The results show that the contact fatigue life of an e-PGS can be extended significantly by increasing the profile shift coefficient. However, support bearing life of the pinwheel depends more on the contact force distribution than the profile shift coefficient.

Sustainable energy generation is becoming extremely imperative due to the expected limitations in current energy resources and to reduce pollution. Especially, because of its considerable energy potential, ocean wave energy has been investigated with regard to power generation. To develop large high power wave generator system, it is important to make a small scale proto type and to test that. Thus the objective of this research is to examine the characteristics of a mechanically excited generator system having small power capacity experimentally. The water reservoir (4 m length, 1.5 m width and 1.8 m depth) having a wave maker to make arbitrary height and period of the water wave was made. The proto type consists of three main parts; a buoy, rack-pinion base one-way mechanism, and a wave generator(Fig.1). The water wave is going up and down and the hexahedron buoy is following the wave. The rack gear attached to the buoy is also going up and down to roll the pinion connected to an electric generator then it produces electricity. The experiments were performed with several conditions of water waves, and the power outputs over 30 W could be measured for some conditions. In future works, to achieve higher performance for the proto type, the effects of primary parameters (buoy shape and mass, etc.) on the system efficiency will be identified.

외접기어의 어느 한쪽 기어를 핀 또는 롤러로 대체한 롤러 피니언 기어 (RPG) 시스템은 기어 치물림 시 미끄럼 접촉을 줄이고 구름운동을 증대시켜 기어 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 우선 본 논문에서는 전위계수(profile shift coefficient)를 고려하여 RPG 시스템의 캠 기어(cam gear)의 엄밀 치형설계 방법 및 치 꼬임으로 인한 간섭 방지조건을 제시하였다. 또 기어구동에 있어 치면에서 발생되는 진동이나 소음의 원인이 되는 피팅(pitting) 발생수명을 고려하기 위해, 설계인자의 변화에 따른 Hertz 접촉응력 및 하중응력계수(load stress factor)의 변화를 검토하였다. 이를 통해 RPG 시스템의 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안으로 전위계수의 증가를 제안하였다.

The noise . vibration characteristics of Hypoid gears which were made from three seperate materials(SCM, TSCM, SNCM) under the identical process were investigated for the sake of durability improvement of differential gear compatible with low level noise gear set. For this study, we developed a rig experimental equipment which can perform close noise.vibration experiment of differential gear. Consequently, we could analyze the noise.vibration characteristics of final reduction gear by materials, and also we observed changes in both metallic structure and hardness according to the materials of pinion gear. In addition to this, the correlation between the vibration of the differential gear and the interior noise of the passenger vehicles was proved by analyzing the results of rig vibration experiment and field noise test.

Recently the design of multi-stage gear drive is being highly concerned. Until now, since the researches of gear drive are focused on the design for satisfying safety factor, the reliability evaluation of multi-stage gear drive is not included. In this paper, the life and reliability models of multi-stage gear drive are proposed using methods of probability and statistics. The life and reliability of the multi-stage gear drive have been evaluated, which is based on the life and reliability of each stage gear drive. The pinion and gear lives of each stage are calculated using the Lundberg-Palmgren theory and the Weibull failure distribution. These lives are combined using methods of probability and statistics to produce a life and reliability model of multi-stage gear drive.

The purpose of this paper is to study and analyze the failure examples on tribological characteristics of an automotive steering system. In this failure study, the grease leakage may stick leaked grease, dust, and wear particles between pinion and rack gears in mechanical steering system. In the case of seal failures such as a rod seal, o-ring and oil seals, the gear box and oil pump do not operate properly due to lack of oils. This means that oil pump does not supply a working fluid and produce a normal oil pressure of the steering system. This leads to leak a working fluid from the seals and produce a wear between pinion and rack gears. Especially, the leaked oil is usually mixed with internal wear particles and foreign dust/fine sands. Thus no leakage of working oils is very important design concepts, which is strongly related to the sealing components and smoothly operating of the mechanical friction parts of power steering system.

After investigating repeatedly results obtained through gear stress analysis, we make a determination of an optimal gear shape. But its design process was not only complex but also difficult to get a precise profile curve from operating by hand. In this study, relating shape of gear profile curves was generated automatically with standard spur gear, equivalent helical gear, shifted gear & pinion by using developed program which is using Auto_LISP language in Auto-CAD. This program which can design rapidly gear shapes will successfully support gear designing and manufacturing fur Small & Medium companies.

Automation facilities of greenhouses have been continuously developed. However, the conventional two-stage worm gear reducer reveals some problems, including low transmission efficiency. The worm gear reducer also have some difficulties in manufacturing and short life. Therefore, this study was performed to develop a planetary gear reducer, having a high Sear reduction ratio and high torque transmission efficiency. The planetary gear system consisted of a fixed ring gear and a 2-teeth differential ring gear turning slow, as the planetary pinion orbits fast around the fixed ring gear. The developed gear system can achieve a high speed reduction rate at one stage. The reducing system was employed to the greenhouse ventilation system. The reducer has the transmission efficiency of 70.5%, 2∼3 times longer life time, and twofold roll-up torque at an affordable price, comparing with conventional reducers. This reducer can be also applied to many industrial equipments, such as industrial crane, hoist, elevator and gondola etc.

A detailed rotordynamic design analysis is performed with a turbo-chiller compressor rotor-bearing system. A pinion is machined into a compressor shaft and the pinion is driven by a bull gear to a rated speed of 14,600 rpm. Utilizing a finite element method each bearing loads are calculated considering various gear loadings as well as the rotor weight itself. A Partial bearing and a 3-Lobe bearing are designed as the compressor impeller out-board bearing and in-board bearing, respectively. Finally a complex rotordynamic analysis of the compressor rotor-bearing system is carried out to evaluate the system whirl natural frequencies, stabilities, and unbalance responses.

In this paper, the gear design program is presented. The profile of gears is created using classical mathematic formulations. In each gear, a kinematic joint is applied and one can define the 20 contact condition between gear pairs. Initial and boundary conditions such as force, torque, velocity, acceleration, etc. can be set. Thus, it is possible to analyze dynamic characteristics of gear pairs such as reaction moment and the variation of angular velocity. In order to find the optimal profile of gear pairs, two optimization methods based on design of experiments are inserted in the program; One is the Taguchi method and the other is the response surface analysis method. To verify the program, the rack & pinion gear is created and analyzed. Simulation results show that the developed program is useful and result data is reliable.
