Lubrication Performance Analysis of RV Reducer Cycloid Tooth Profile Modification by Jun Wang, Zhilong Chen, Qunchao Chen, Wentao Li, Quan Wang, Daxing Zhao

“…Combined with the profile of the cycloidal wheel， the effect of the tooth profile modification schemes and the modification quantity on grease film pressure， grease film shape， grease film temperature rising and friction power loss are analyzed. The results indicate that as the radial clearance between the modified tooth profile and the theoretical tooth profile increases， the friction loss power increases， and the minimum grease film thickness increases first and then decreases. …”
