  • Load sharing gear for high torque, split-path transmissions
    Publication number: 20040211278
    Abstract: A gear adapted to provide load sharing in a torque split transmission module wherein at least one spring element is disposed in combination with a torque driving shaft at one end thereof and in combination with a ring of torque transmitting gear teeth at the other end thereof. The spring element is radially stiff to center the ring of gear teeth about the shaft and is torsionally soft to permit relative rotational displacement between the gear teeth and the shaft.

  • Gear tooth topological modification for reducing noise and vibration in transmission systems
    Publication number: 20040088861
    Abstract: A method for producing intermeshing gears having improved acoustic and vibration properties characterized by: examining the transmission errors due to mesh stiffness variations, performing Gear Tooth Topological (GTT) to compensate for such errors, and isotropic processing of the face surfaces of the gear teeth to produce an ultra-smooth surface finish.
