Multicriteria design of polymer gears according to VDI 2736 guideline

Tavčar, Jože LU orcid (2024) 1. p.117-148
Abstract
The design of polymer gears is an open challenge; several constraints must be
checked during the design process due to the complex relations between different design parameters and specifics of application. The failure modes are determined by the load level, used material pair, and operating conditions—speed of rotation, environment temperature, and lubrication. Polymer gear design is not a straightforward procedure, but it is rather iterative and must consider and balance several criteria. There is a lack of international standards for polymer gears and specific material characteristics of polymers that are important for gear calculation. The author presents the design guidelines for polymer gears and a model for a better insight into... (More)

There is a lack of international standards for polymer gears and specific material characteristics of polymers that are important for gear calculation. The author presents the design guidelines for polymer gears and a model for a better insight into how design parameters influence the target criteria. The model enables a simultaneous consideration of different criteria such as root/flank stress, gear bulk/flank temperature, wear, deformation, quality, cost, and volume. (Less)
