Abstract

Gear train is important part of the majority of mechanical power transmission system. It has to be robust enough to sustain the transmitted power over the long period of time and also light enough to reduce the overall weight of the system. But since to increase the power to be transmitted by the gear train also causes increase in weight and vice versa, these two objectives rather generate contradicting solutions. Thus, the optimization of gear becomes very significant in order to have a good trade-off between these two entities. The helical gear provides a smoother mesh and can be operated at greater speeds than a straight spur gear. So we have to minimize weight of helical gear train to increase strength/weight ratio.
