Resumen
In this paper, the forming principle, meshing features and tooth surface equation were introduced. And the modal parameters distribution of cylindrical gears with arcuate tooth trace was researched. The results show: 1. The modulus was the biggest impact factor for modal and natural frequency of cylindrical gears with arcuate tooth trace, then tooth width, and the radius of tooth line have the minimum influence; 2. When the modulus increased, natural frequency of cylindrical gears with arcuate tooth reduced rapidly; 3. When the tooth width increased, natural frequency of cylindrical gears with arcuate tooth has a tendency to rise except for first-order modal; 4. The influence of radius of tooth line can be basic ignored; 5. The second-order modal and third-order modal, fifth-order modal and sixth-order modal was very close. The research on cylindrical gears with arcuate tooth trace in this paper has a certain reference value on gear design and selection.
