COMPENSATION FOR CHAIN GEARING ERRORS BY LONGITUDINAL MODIFICATION OF THE SPROCKET TEETH
Abstract
The article discusses the results of research work on the study of compensation for errors in the gearing in a chain transmission. The main indicator of the quality of the engagement is the completeness of the longitudinal contact. This indicator depends on the errors of the mutual position of the contacting surfaces for reasons of technological and deformative origin. Methods of compensation of errors of meshing in a chain transmission by a longitudinal modification of the sprocket teeth are described. The analysis of the research results showed that the localization of the contact by the method of longitudinal modification of the sprocket teeth can significantly improve the quality of the transmission by reducing the high sensitivity of the chain transmission to inaccuracies in the manufacture and installation of its elements.
