Abstract

Non-circular gear units have been used in variable transmissions such as car wipers, CVT speed variants or steering mechanism in new car generations, etc. Until now, most scientists are only focused on non-circular gears with involute profile of a circle or a hyperbola when researching these gears. The Novikov-type profiles have not been mentioned. In this work, the authors use the Novikov gears and racks to generate the tooth profile of non-circular gears. To solve this problem for each pair of gears in a gear train, the tooth profile of the driving gear is formed by finding the envelope of a Novikov rack, while the tooth profile of the drive gear is formed using gear shaping method (with the driving gear used as the cutter) to ensure meshing ratio and to prevent undercutting. Based on that, the study provides a general procedure for the synthesis of Novikov non-circular gears.
