Abstract

The goal of this study is to find the best main design parameters of a two-stage helical gearbox in order to achieve the lowest gearbox mass. The gear ratio of the first stage, the coefficient of wheel face width of stages 1 and 2, and the allowable contact stress of stages 1 and 2 were all taken into account in this work to determine their optimum values. To achieve the goal, a simulation experiment was designed and implemented by a computer program. The Minitab R19 software was also used to analyze the experimental results. The impact of key design factors on gearbox mass was assessed. The best values for these parameters were also proposed.
