The Lubrication of Bevel Gears

Abstract

In bevel gears, the behaviours of the oil in the gear box differ from those in spur gears, presenting conditions worse than the latter. In this paper, the mechanisms of the oil being supplied to the tooth surface and of the oil film formation between the teeth surfaces of pinion and gear are investigated. And it was made clear that jet lubrication is superior to bath lubrication in various points.
