Study on the Cutting Forces for Spiral Bevel Gears

抄録

It is very useful to know the cutting forces of spiral bevel gears for the decision of the stable cutting conditions and design of the spiral bevel gear generators. Therefore, the cutting forces during generation of a spiral bevel gear are measured by a special attachment. Then, the theoretical area of cross section of undeformed chips is calculated and the specific cutting forces are investigated. The result shows that the specific cutting forces vary with the position o gear generation.
