Speaker A

Hello everyone. You are watching the YouTube channel Mechanics in Ukrainian. The topic of today's video is gear transmissions. Gear transmissions are the most common mechanical drives in modern mechanical engineering. They are used both in the mechanisms of precision instruments, where gear sizes

00:22

Speaker A

are measured in millimeters, and in the most powerful machines with gear sizes from 10 cm to 10 m. A modern gear drive consists of two wheels with teeth located on the rim. The teeth of these wheels mesh with each other and,

00:39

Speaker A

through their interaction, ensure the transmission of rotational motion from one wheel to another. The smaller of the two mating wheels is called a pinion, and the larger one is a gear.

00:50

Speaker A

The term "toothed wheel" applies to both wheels. Types of gear transmissions: cylindrical transmission, bevel transmission, worm transmission. At this moment, we will not delve into the essence of how all these transmissions work. We will simply list

01:11

Speaker A

them and see what they are. Continuing with the types of gear transmissions: chain drive, lead screw drive, and rack and pinion drive. The main feature of lead screw and rack and pinion drives is that they convert rotational motion

01:30

Speaker A

into reciprocating motion. Lead screw drives are used in screw jacks and vises. And rack and pinion drives are used, for example, in drilling machines, where table adjustment is required.

01:47

Speaker A

Hypoid gears, used in car differentials, and planetary gears, which consist of a sun gear, an internal ring gear, and planet gears. Moving on to the classification. Based on the arrangement of the shaft axes, there are drives between shafts with parallel

02:14

Speaker A

axes, between shafts whose axes intersect—most often perpendicularly, such as bevel gears—and between shafts with skew axes. So, we have a mechanism here that consists of several transmissions, specifically a worm gear drive with an under-mounted worm. As we can see, the transmission of rotational

02:38

Speaker A

motion is carried out through the worm shaft to the worm wheel. Yes, here we have a helical cylindrical gear, a spur cylindrical gear, and finally a bevel gear; in the spur and helical cylindrical gears, the shaft axes are

02:55

Speaker A

parallel. That is, they do not cross or intersect. In bevel gears, as we can see, they intersect at a 90° angle, meaning they are perpendicular. And in a worm gear, as we can see, the axes are skew, meaning they are neither

03:10

Speaker A

parallel nor intersecting. And this is how rotational motion is realized and transmitted through gear meshing. By the type of engagement surface: internal engagement and external engagement. These are the 3D models we have, as you can see. By the

03:41

Speaker A

arrangement of teeth on the rim: spur, helical, herringbone, and circular, or as they are otherwise called, curvilinear. By design configuration: enclosed, placed in a special housing,

04:02

Speaker A

and provided with constant lubrication, and open, which operate without lubricant or are lubricated periodically. By tooth profile shape: involute, Novikov circular transmissions. Please pay attention to this profile and how it differs from the previous one. Yes, cycloidal. Also,

04:33

Speaker A

you see, there is a specific profile of the gear itself. Based on peripheral speed, gears are classified as low-speed, where the speed is less than 3 m/s. Medium-speed, which range from 3 to 15 m/s, and high-speed, where the

05:00

Speaker A

speed exceeds 15 m/s. By gear ratio type, there are reducers for lowering RPMs, where the gear ratio is always greater than one. That is, the higher the gear ratio, the lower the output RPM will be. And multipliers for

05:23

Speaker A

increasing RPMs, where the gear ratio is less than one. That is, the lower the gear ratio in this case in the multiplier, the higher our output RPM will be accordingly. Advantages of gear transmissions: constant gear ratio, whereas in transmissions based on

05:46

Speaker A

friction, slipping is possible. In our case, slipping will not occur at all. The tooth must clearly enter the groove and transmission will take place from the pinion to the gear. High reliability and durability of operation. For instance, pinions are typically

06:08

Speaker A

made of steel, cast iron, or non-ferrous metals. And then, accordingly, they are subjected to heat treatment, such as normalizing, improving, quenching, and so on. Wide range of loads and compactness of the design. Minor loads on the transmission shafts and their bearings.

06:35

Speaker A

Disadvantages of gear transmissions: relatively high requirements for manufacturing and assembly accuracy. Noise during operation at high speeds.

06:47

Speaker A

Need for constant or periodic lubrication. Impossibility of stepless change of the gear ratio. Geometric parameters of the gear. The tooth module is the main characteristic of gear rim dimensions. The engagement module is equal to the part of the

07:08

Speaker A

pitch diameter that corresponds to one tooth of the gear. For a spur gear, accordingly, we have that the pitch diameter equals the module multiplied by Z, i.e., the number of teeth. Well, to determine the module, if we have the

07:25

Speaker A

pitch diameter, we can derive that the module is equal to the pitch diameter D divided by the number of teeth of the gear. And we see that the gear consists of these geometric parameters. We have the pinion tooth, the gear tooth, the

07:42

Speaker A

pitch circle, the profile of the tooth itself, the base bore of the gear, i.e.,

07:47

Speaker A

where it will be mounted on the shaft. Root height, addendum height, tooth addendum, root circle, and addendum circle. Well, we could also add the center distance, i.e., the distance from the center of the gear axis to the

08:05

Speaker A

center of the pinion axis itself. Design and manufacturing methods. The design of the gears depends on their size, material, and manufacturing technology. If the root circle diameter differs little from the shaft diameter, the pinion is usually manufactured as

08:24

Speaker A

one piece with this shaft. Here we have a diagram, a 3D model in KOMPAS, and the shaft in reality, showing how it looks. Gears with a diameter of less than 200 mm are manufactured from large rolled bars, forged, or stamped blanks,

08:42

Speaker A

either without a hub, as in this image, or with a hub. Gears smaller than 600 mm are manufactured by forging and stamping. Large-sized wheels are manufactured by casting or welding.

09:00

Speaker A

When using high-quality steel or non-ferrous metals for gear rims, banded gear wheels are sometimes used.

09:07

Speaker A

In this case, the gear rim is mounted on the central wheel body with an interference fit and additionally secured with screws. For instance, in this worm gear, we can see that the rim itself is bronze, while the central

09:23

Speaker A

body is steel, and it is secured, as we can see, with screws. Gear cutting methods. Yes, the first method is the copying method. When cutting teeth using the copying method, their profile is obtained as a copy of the contour of

09:41

Speaker A

the working part of the gear-cutting tool, such as a disk or finger cutter, which sequentially cuts the spaces between the teeth. The main disadvantages of this method are relatively low productivity, low accuracy, and the need for a large

09:56

Speaker A

number of gear-cutting tools, since the tooth profile shape depends not only on the module but also on the number of teeth on the gear. Let's take a look at how it actually proceeds. Yes, this is the copying method using a disk cutter.

10:12

Speaker A

We have a gear wheel. And we can see how the process of the cutter cutting into our gear wheel proceeds. There is the feed motion and the rotating motion of the cutter. And this is how the process itself is carried out. Yes, the

10:47

Speaker A

gear wheel, as we see, performs an indexing turn and the process repeats. Again, the cutter performs the feed motion and cuts into the gear wheel.

11:01

Speaker A

This is a disk cutter and a blank for a bevel gear. We can see here it starts to cut, and a gap appears. We can see this process is very long and labor-intensive. The blank performs an indexing turn and the process happens

11:27

Speaker A

again and again. And so, it works for as long as we need. Yes, and this is now a finger cutter. It moves and performs a rotating motion, and it also cuts one gap, only one gap per pass.

11:50

Speaker A

This is our co

12:23

Speaker A

generating method, in which several teeth are cut simultaneously, and the tooth profile is formed as an envelope line of the successively positioned cutting edges of the tool. The tool used here can be a worm hob or a special gear-shaped tool, a shaper,

12:41

Speaker A

that performs a reciprocating motion. Let's take a look. Yes, these are worm hobs. The first four on the right are for cutting gear wheels. The last, fifth one. We can see this last fifth one. This is for chain sprockets. We

13:02

Speaker A

can see how it differs in the cutting part. And here, the actual cutting of the gear itself, or more precisely the worm wheel, is being performed. And this is the process of cutting the teeth, or rather the grooves, for a

13:26

Speaker A

chain drive, for chain drive sprockets. Coolant lubricant is being supplied. This is a gear with internal teeth.

13:46

Speaker A

There is a special gear shaper that performs a reciprocating motion, thereby performing the process of shaping the grooves on the gear itself.

13:56

Speaker A

As we can see, there are gears of different diameters, different shapes, and sizes. Well, and with you was the YouTube channel Mechanics in Ukrainian.

14:08

Speaker A

And we are definitely not saying goodbye to you, we just say until our next meeting.
