Determination of Forces Acting on a Helical Gear Transmission with an Elastic Element

This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the forces acting on a helical gear transmission with an elastic element. The research investigates the effects of elastic deformation on the load distribution within the gear system, focusing on the influence of the elastic component on axial, radial, and tangential forces. The study employs mathematical models that account for the complex interactions between the helical gears and the elastic element, aiming to optimize the force transmission and enhance the system’s efficiency. Key findings reveal that introducing an elastic element in the helical gear transmission can significantly reduce impact loads, leading to improved durability and operational lifespan of the system. Additionally, the research identifies optimal ranges for the stiffness coefficient of the elastic component, ensuring effective load amortization and minimizing the risk of excessive wear or failure. The proposed model provides a comprehensive understanding of how elastic deformation influences the performance of helical gear systems, particularly under varying loads and operational conditions. The results presented offer valuable insights for the design and optimization of gear mechanisms in engineering applications where durability and efficiency are critical. These findings contribute to the broader field of mechanical transmission systems, particularly in applications where gear longevity and reliability are essential.
