Abstract:
Nowadays, this is even more challenging while additive manufacturing technology is used for prototyping, as well as the production of gearing systems. Presented is an optimization and characterization of the additively manufactured (AM) gears made of carbon-reinforced polyamide material in correlation to conventional polymer gearings. Based on the obtained results, the fatigue life data for AM carbon-reinforced Polyamide gears is calculated and compared to traditionally produced Polyamide 66-based gears. Results show that the durability of AM-produced carbon-reinforced Polyamide gears can be compared to conventional-produced Polyamide 66-based gears. Furthermore, deduced that wear of the AM-reinforced Polyamide teeth, can be closely connected with the meshing temperature in correlation with fatigue.
