Research of thermal deformation of a kinematic wave reducerwith a modified tooth profile during the work in low temperature conditions

Abstract

In the conditions of the Extreme North working resource of mechanicaltools and machineelements is reduced because of bad weather conditions in this region. At a low temperature materials are exposed to deformation which is capable to break operability of the mechanism. In connection with the high requirements to the accuracy of a kinematic wave reducer, it is necessary to conduct a research for the purpose of comparison of value of thermal deformation and the appointed admission on a reducer detail. If value of thermal deformation is more admission, then it can lead to jamming of the mechanism. The research was conducted for a collected reducer and separately for not loaded driver gear.
