Deg parametric spur gears with Catia V5

Deg parametric spur gears with Catia V5 Published at http://gtrebaol.free.fr/doc/catia/spur_gear.html Created by Gildas Trébaol on June 10, 2005. Part design rebuilt on October 31, 2005. Tutorial rewritten on April 9, 2007. Zipped part: spur_gear.zip (100 KB). Zipped demo: spur_gears.zip (800 KB). VRML gear: spur_gear.wrl (330 KB). The powerful CAD system Catia version 5 has no built-in tool for deg gears. When you are making a realistic design, you may need a template spur gear.

Since the geometry of a spur gear is controlled by a few parameters, we can design a generic gear controlled by the following parameters: The pressure angle a . The modulus m . The number of teeth Z . This tutorial shows how to make a basic gear that you can freely re-use in your assemblies.

1. Gears theory and standards 1.1 Sources, credits and links Most of my tutorial is based on a nice tutorial on helical gears in English at http://ggajic.sbb.co.yu/pub/catia/. I improved it a little for making an exactly symmetric tooth. The mathematic description of the involute curve is visually explained in French at http://serge.mehl.free.fr/courbes/developC.html. The formulas of the involute curve can also be found in French at http://www.mathcurve.com/courbes2d/developpantedecercle/developpantedecercle.shtml. The gear technology is explained in French at http://casm.insa-lyon.fr/engrenag/. The conventional formulas and their names in French come from the pocket catalog Engrenages H.P.C, June 1999 edition.

1.3 Notes about the formulas (in French) Formule N°11: explication de l'équation rb = rp * cos( a ) : La crémaillère de taillage est tangente au cercle primitif. Au point de , a définit l'angle de pression de la ligne d'action. La ligne d'action est tangente au cerce de base. On a donc un triangle rectangle à résoudre. Formule N°12: Entre le cercle de pied et les flancs des dents, prévoir un petit congé de raccordement pour atténuer l'usure en fatigue. Formules N°14 et N°15: explication de zd = rb * cos( t ) + rb * t * sin( t ) : La développante est tracée sur le plan YZ, qui correspond à la vue de face dans Catia. Le premier terme rb * cos( t ) correspond à une rotation suivant le cercle de base. Le second terme rb * t * sin( t ) correspond au déroulement de la développante. Cette expression rappelle que le rayon de coubure de la développante vaut rb * t . Formule N°16: Pour simplifier le dessin d'un engrenage, on peut éventuellement remplacer la développante de cercle par un arc de cercle. A good approximation of a curve at a given point is the osculating circle.

Une bonne approximation d'une courbe en un point donné est le cercle osculateur.

The osculating circle of a curve at a point Le cercle osculateur à une courbe en un point http://gtrebaol.free.fr/doc/catia/spur_gear.html[11/01/2011 10:01:55]


shares with the curve at that point: A common tangent line (continuity of the 1stderivative). A common radius of curvature (continuity of the 2nd derivative).

partage avec la courbe en ce point: Une même tangente (continuité au 1er degré). Un même rayon de courbure (continuité au 2nd degré).

Cercle osculateur à la courbe développante au niveau du diamètre primitif: L'angle de la dévelopante est égal à l'angle de pression a . Le rayon du cercle osculateur est donc: ro = rb * a * π / 180 . Formule N°17: En réalité, la développante est déphasée par rapport à la figure ci dessus. Pour exprimer ce déphasage, on calcule le paramètre angulaire c au point où la développante coupe le cercle primitif. On a alors: zd(c) 2 + yd(c) 2 = rp 2 rb 2 * ( 1 + c 2 ) = rp 2 cos(a) 2 * ( 1 + c 2 ) = 1 c 2 = 1/cos(a) 2 - 1

2. Start and configure the generative shape design workshop The part design workshop is not sufficient for deg parametric curves. So, we switch to the generative shape design workshop:

Next, we configure the environment for showing parameters and formulas: We set the 2 highlighted check boxes:



Now the tree of your part should look like this:

3 Enter the parameters and formulas 3.1 Define the primary generation parameters Switch to the Generative Shape Design workshop and click on the


f(x)

button:


Then you can create the gear generation parameters: 1. Select the unit (integer, real, length, angle, …). 2. Press the create parameter button. 3. Enter the parameter's name. 4. Set the initial value, used only if the parameter has a fixed value.

Now your tree should look like this:

3.2 Define dependent parameters Most of the geometric parameters are related to a , m , and Z . You don't need to assign them a value, because Catia can compute them for you. So, instead of filling the initial value, you can press the add formula button. Then you can edit the formula:



3.3 Check the primary and computed parameters Set the following option in order to display the values and formulas of each parameter:



Now your tree should display the following parameters and their formulas:

3.4 Parametric laws of the involute curve Up to now, we have defined formulas for computing parameters. Now we need to define the formulas defining the {Y,Z} cartesian position of the points on the involute curve of a tooth.



We could as well define a set of parameters Y0 , Z0 , Y1 , Z1 , … for the coordinates of the involute's points. However, Catia provides a more convenient tool for doing that: the parametric laws. In order to create a parametric law: click on the fog button:

Enter the formulas #14 and #15 of the 2 laws used for the

Y and Z coordinates of yd = rb * ( sin( t * PI * 1rad ) - cos( t * PI * 1rad ) * t * PI ) zd = rb * ( cos( t * PI * 1rad ) + sin( t * PI * 1rad ) * t * PI )


the involute curve:


Notes about the formula editor of Catia: The trigonometric functions expect angles, not numbers, so we must use angular constants like 1rad or 1deg . PI stands for the π number.

4. Create a geometric body and start inserting geometric elements In Catia, the PartBody is intended for mechanical surfaces. For geometric constructions, you need to work in a geometric body: Create it with the Insert / Open Body top menu:

Then, you can use the buttons on the right toolbar for inserting different geometric elements. Catia assigns a default name to each geometric element, but you can rename it with a contextual dialog opened with the right button / properties menu of the mouse:



5. Make the geometric profile of the first tooth The following steps explain how to design a single tooth. The whole gear is a circular repetition of that first tooth. 5.1 Define the parameters, constants and formulas Already done in the section related to parameters and formulas.

5.2 Insert a set of 5 constructive points and connect them with a spline The position of each point is defined by the Define 5 points on the YZ plane.


yd(t)

and

zd(t)

parametric laws:


In order to apply the involute formulas, edit the Y and Z coordinate of each point and enter the values of the parameter from t = 0 to t = 0.4 (most gears do not use the involute spiral beyond 0.4) For example, for the Y coordinate of the involute's point corresponding to t = 0.2 :



Make a spline curve connecting the 5 constructive points:



5.4 Extrapolate the spline toward the center of the gear Why do we need an extrapolation ? The involute curve ends on the base circle of radius rb = rp * cos(20) ≈ rp * 0.94 . When Z < 42 , the root circle is smaller than the base circle. For example, when Z = 25 : rf = rp - hf = rp - 1.25 * m = rp * (1 - 2.5 / Z) = rp * 0.9 . So the involute curve must be extrapolated for ing the root circle. Extrapolate the spline: Start from the 1st involute point. The length to extrapolate is empirically defined by the formula

f(x) = 2 * m

:

5.5 Rotate the involute curve for the symmetry relative to the Why do we need a rotation ? RED On the extrapolated involute curve designed in the http://gtrebaol.free.fr/doc/catia/spur_gear.html[11/01/2011 10:01:55]

the point on the pitch circle has an unconvenient position. It is more convenient to draw a tooth that is symmetric on the ZX plane, because it makes it easier to control the angular position of a gear in a mechanism : LIME

MAGENTA are symmetric relative to the ZX plane. The colors above correspond to the following geometric elements:

For computing the rotation angle, we need first to compute the involute parameter or the pitch circle (formula #17):



Is it true ? In order to check it, you can build two temporary elements: Insert another point and apply the involute formula with the c parameter:



Then, insert a half-circle having the radius of the pich circle rp . Check that the involute point with the c parameter is actually located on the intersection of the pitch circle and the extrapolated spline curve:



Once the

c

parameter is checked, the temporary point and the temporary circle can be deleted.

Now, we can rotate the extrapolated curve, so that the first gear tooth is symetric relative to the ZX plane: We use the formula #18 for computing the phi rotation angle in 2 steps: 1. The curve is rotated by atan( yd(c) / zd(c) ) so that the intersection between the involute and the pitch circle (the red point on the figure) is moved to the ZX plane. 2. Then, curve is rotated by ¼ of the gear period: 90deg / Z (the left lime point on the figure), so that the ZX plane corresponds to the median plane of the first tooth. A rotation operation is applied to the extrapolated spline, using the phi rotation angle:



5.6 Draw the outer circle and the root circle We insert two half circles having a radius equal to ra and The figure below shows how to configure the outer circle:


rf

, respectively.


5.7 Insert a rounded corner near the root circle The corner between the extrapolated involute curve and the root circle has a radius defined by the parameter. Catia asks you to select an arc (in red) out of 4 possible geometric solutions (in blue):


rc


5.8 Create the rounded corner of the next tooth Why are we going up to the next tooth ? Initially, I designed a symmetric profile for the first tooth and I duplicated it


Z

times:


But then, the generated profile was interrupted between each tooth by a fake edge:

For preventing that, I build now the whole profile between consecutive teeth on the root circle:



Now we can build the symmetric corner: On the figure above, you can see: A vertical line tracing the ZX plane. An oblique line tracing the median plane between consecutive teeth. This plane corresponds to the ZX plane rotated by 180deg / Z around the X axis. The following figure shows how to define that median plane:



Now, this plane is used for defining a symmetric rounded corner on the root circle:



5.9 Assemble the different elements of the first tooth Now, we have to cut, fill and the different elements of the 1st tooth: Cut the segment of the extrapolated spline between the outer circle and the rounded corner.



Define a symmetric profile relative to the


ZX

plane, for the other side of the 1st tooth:


We could cut the root circle and the outer circle, but instead we define two arcs having a radius equal to


rf

and

ra

, respectively:


The last operation consists in ing all the elements of the 1st tooth:



6. Build the whole gear profile and extrude it The gear profile is just a circular repetition of the tooth: We define a repetition around the X axis. The number of instances is controlled by the Z parameter (number of teeth):



The first tooth and the duplicated teeth are ed for making the whole gear profile:



Now, we can switch back to the part design workshop (see the green arrow) and extrude the gear profile:



7. Cut the gear wheel The gear wheel is cut after the extrusion, because each application requires a specific wheel thickness: In a real factory, the teeth of the gear would be machined after the gear wheel is cut on a lathe. In a CAD design, it is simpler to make the gear wheel with a groove, after the extrusion of the teeth. That wheel design is semi-parametric: the external diameter and the 20deg chamfer are dependent of but the bore diameter and the thickness are adjusted manually on the sketch:


ra

,


Now, you can add pocket(s) for transmitting the torque between the gear wheel and a key or a splined shaft.

8. Check the parametric generation Now you can play with the If Z is equal to 13:

Z

and

m

parameters and generate any spur gear:



If

Z

is equal to 15:
