The Cycloid Form of Teeth for Spur Gears
The Cycloid curve is the one traced by a point on the circumference of
a circle which rolls without slipping on a fixed straight line.
The EpiCycloid curve is the one traced by a point on the
circumference of a circle which rolls without slipping on the outside of a
fixed circle.
The HypoCycloid curve is the one traced by a point on the
circumference of a circle which rolls without slipping on the inside of a
fixed circle.
١١Spur Gears
C and D are the rolling circles forming the profiles of the cycloidal teeth.

The Involute Form of Teeth for Spur Gears
The Involute is the curve generated by a point on a
tangent, which rolls on a circle without slipping. This circle
is known as the base circle.
١٣Spur Gears
Strength Calculations for Spur GearsBasic Assumptions
Total stress
The tooth is treated as
a cantilever beam.
The force of interaction can be taken as
being normal to the teeth profiles (i.e.
along the line of action which is tangent to
the base circle). ١٤Spur Gears
Design
Prof. Samy J. Ebeid ٨
Strength Calculations for Spur GearsBasic Assumptions
The force of interaction between a single pair of mating teeth
remains constant in transmitting a constant torque.
The force is applied to the top of the tooth, where the arm of the
force is maximal.
To simplify calculations, the force is moved along the line of action
to the axis of the tooth and is resolved into two components:
1. P * cos α which bends the tooth2. P * sin α which compresses the tooth.
The tooth is treated as a
cantilever beam.
The force of interaction can be
taken as being normal to the
teeth profiles (i.e. along the line
of action which is tangent to the
base circle).
١٥Spur Gears
Strength Calculations for Spur GearsBasic Assumptions
The dangerous cross-section
is at the root of the tooth in
the zone of maximum stress
concentration.
The critical section is one
where fatigue cracks and
failure begins i.e. the tensile
side.

Service Factor
These values are for enclosed well lubricated gears. In case of non-
enclosed and grease gears, the values given in the above table should be
divided by 0.65, i.e. the service factors values will increase.

Modified Form Factor Ky
The increase of the pressure
angle results in a stronger
tooth.
٢٣Spur Gears
Properties of Gear Materials
Generally, strength and service conditions (as wear and noise) are the most
factors considered in selecting the Gear Materials. Metallic and non-metallic
materials could be used.
Metallic materials include: CI, steel and bronze.
Non-metallic materials include: wood, compressed paper and synthetic
resins like nylon (useful for reducing noise).
Cast Iron:
-good wearing properties
-Excellent machinability
-not suitable for smooth action.
Steels: as Carbon steel and Alloy steel
-high strength conditions
-usually heat treated to combine both toughness and hardness.
-alloy steels allow good hardenability.
Phosphor Bronze:
-for reducing wear as with worm wheels.٢٤Spur Gears

Dynamic Loading
The Dynamic Load or Impact Load is not anexternal load applied to the system, thus it could betermed: Internal Dynamic Loading.
Due to errors resulting from:-manufacturing and assembly: such errors cause short periods of acceleration and deceleration, which are increased by the elastic deflections of the teeth. -elastic deflection of the teeth under loading
٣٣Spur Gears
Dynamic Loading
We obtain:
-non-uniform rotation of the gear when the pinion rotates at uniform speed.
Thus:-the instantaneous speed ratio is variable
-the average speed ratio is constant
This leads to:
-impact (dynamic) loading on the teeth
Thus the gears operate under:
-vibration
-noise
To minimize probability of Failure in teeth, Lubrication is proposed to:
-reduce friction losses-dissipate the heat generated in the gears-prevent corrosion and abrasion
Due to errors resulting from:-manufacturing and assembly: such errors cause short periods of acceleration and deceleration, which are increased by the elastic deflections of the teeth. -elastic deflection of the teeth under loading

Pd = Pt + ∆∆∆∆Pt
Errors in Tooth Profile:1. Probable error , which results from Manufacturing conditions.2. Permissible error, which depends on Function and is related to speed.
Kd : is due to inaccuracy in machining and tooth vibration.
Kd = (k.e) / ((1/Ep) + (1/Eg))
Where e is the probable error. k =

Endurance Strength
The Endurance Strength determines the degree of safety. The endurance
strength is estimated by applying the Lewis’s formula when using σσσσen.
We use σσσσen to count for the stress concentration at the base of the tooth.
Margin of Safety = (Pen – Pd)/Pd
= 25% steady transmitted load
= 35% pulsating load
= 50% shock load ٣٨Spur Gears

Wear Resistance
Gears in continuous service lose their usefulness because of
excessive wear and not because of sudden failure.
Forms of Wear:1. Pitting: due to the presence of dynamic loading
and causes compressive stresses. Pitting is the most serious.
2. Abrasion: due to the presence of foreign matter.3. Scoring: due to rough surface finishing.4. Scuffing: due to the use of improper lubricants.5. Seizing: due to insufficient lubricant accompanied
by a locally generated heat which may cause local welding.
٣٩Spur Gears
Wear Resistance
The limiting load for wear Pw is the load beyond which
wear is likely to be rapid.
