Abstract
The nonlinear contact force between gears and bearings exhibits intricate dynamics. This paper focuses on the coupling relationship between the time-varying meshing parameters of the gears, dynamic backlash, and dynamic bearing clearance in gear-bearing transmission systems. A dynamic model of a gear-bearing transmission system considering dynamic meshing parameters is established. The coupling mechanism between meshing stiffness, gear backlash, bearing clearance, and gear vibration response in gear transmission systems is analyzed. The results demonstrate a negative correlation between the gears’ geometric center distance and meshing stiffness amplitude. Gear vibration can affect the relative position of the gears. Changes in the relative position of the gears lead to an increase in the number of frequency components in the frequency domain of gear meshing stiffness. During gear rotation, the meshing parameters of the gears and tooth side clearance fluctuate with gear vibration. With increasing speed, the model’s dynamic meshing parameters also increase accordingly. The model achieves a feedback calculation of the system parameters and vibration responses in gear-bearing system dynamics.
