| CAD: NCKU-F06 Hyperboloid Gear Mechanism |
This mechanism demonstrates the transmission
of a hyperboloid gear pair.
A hyperboloid of revolution is the surface developed
by a straight-line generatrix, tangent to a base cylinder
and at an angle to the axis of the base cylinder, as
it is revolved about the axis of the base cylinder.
The hyperboloid gear is generated based on formulating
the straight-line, which is used to generate a hyperboloid
of revolution, as its tooth profile. The hyperboloid
gear pair is equivalent to a rolling and sliding contact
between two hyperboloids. It can transmit the motion
between two crossed axes. However, since the contact
of two meshing hyperboloid gears is a line contact,
there will be a slipping motion along the tooth profile
of the hyperboloid gears when transmission. Thus the
transmission of hyperboloid gears has the problem of
greater frictions.
