Relation of Frictional Loss of Gear to Speed and Torque

This paper describes gear loss in relation to speed and torque. Loss of gears finished in various manners was obtained by measuring the temperature of the oil steeping test gears, and the variance in the data thus obtained was analyzed. Torque, speed and type of gears were considered as influential factors in this analysis. The analytical results show that speed is the most important factor to gear loss rate while torque has little influence compared with speed. Furthermore, it became clear that the relation between speed and loss rate is complex depending on the type of gear and torque while said relationship may be simplified if considered as the relation between speed and gear loss.
