Non-uniform gear wear changes gear topology and affects thenoise performance of a hypoid gear set. This paper presents theeffects of gear surface parameters on gear wear and themeasurement/testing methods used to quantify the flank wear inlaboratory tests. Gear tooth profile, transmission error, geartooth surface finish determined by cutting, and gear tooth surfacefinish determined by other processes are the factors considered inthis paper. The measurements include transmission error, patternrating, and surface roughness before and after test. The effectsand interaction between controlled factors provided the informationfor product improvement. The action resulted from this study isanticipated to significantly improve product reliability andcustomer satisfaction.
