Analyses of Cutting Conditions of Spiral Bevel Gears

Abstract

This paper is intended to find out the best cutting condition for the purpose of improving the cutting efficiency of a spiral bevel gear and the roughness of its finished surface. But the cutting experiment by the gear generator requires too much trouble. Therefore the authors analysed conditions in which a single blade of the cutter cuts the spiral bevel gear, and clarified the cutting conditions of the single blade, with a view to simplifying the experiment by using a single blade instead of the cutter.
