Friction losses and scuffing failures are interesting research topics for worm gears. One of the factors leading to scuffing is the heat generated in the contact of gear teeth. The contact geometry of worm gears is complex, leading to high friction between contact surfaces. High friction between contact surfaces during operation generates heat friction that causes the occurrence of scuffing, which in turn determines the scuffing load capacity. To analyse the thermal characteristics of a worm-gear pair and the thermal behaviour of contact teeth, a direct-coupled thermal–structural 3D finite element model was applied. The heat flux due to friction-generated heat was determined on the gear tooth to investigate thermal characteristics and predict transient temperature fields. This study permits an in-depth understanding of the temperature fields and the friction heat generation process. Also, better control of the contact pattern between worm-gear teeth would decrease friction heat and increase scuffing load capacity. This paper investigates the transient thermal behaviour among different pinion machine setting parameters that can result in an optimal tooth-contact pattern that produces a lower temperature field, thus achieving higher transmission efficiency. |
