Reverse Design of Cycloid Tooth Profile Without Trapped Oil and Implementation Measures of Low Flow Ripple for Gear Pump by Yuncai Xia, Haibin Hao, Yin Mao

“…All results show that the reverse design method of cycloidal tooth profile is simple and accurate，and can be directly used by general engineers； the contact ratio of a single gear pair is 1 to ensure that gear pump has no trapped oil phenomenon； the axial dislocation assembly of double gear pairs with special angle of π divided by tooth number is easy to be realized，and axial comprehensive contact ratio is 2 to ensure transmission stability of cycloidal gear pair； minimum number of teeth is 6 and there is no root cutting phenomenon； compared with single gear pair，an about 75% ripple improvement rate is seen in double gear pair and the optimal tooth profile parameters based on the minimization of ripple factor can be directly applied to the production practice，etc. …”
