Investigation of loading of Novikov spur gears supports

Abstract

Novikov gears due to their inherent increased load capacity are becoming more and more widespread. However, the issues of bearing durability, as well as the strength and stiffness of their shafts have not yet been studied. Therefore, the load of bearings and shafts is either not assessed at all or is assessed very roughly. This situation is explained by a certain specificity of force formation during the interaction of links in Novikov gear and the lack of proper developments due to the unexplored nature of the issue.
