Recently, the reduction of vibration in transmission gears of motorcars has become a serious problem. Oerlikon-type spiral bevel gears are one of the hopeful types of gears which meet this requirement and have accordingly attracted much attention. Although some studies On Gleason-type spiral bevel gears have been presented, there have been very few studies hitherto which deal with. the Oerlikon-type spiral bevel gear. In view of this situation, the speed variation of Oerlikon-type spiral bevel gears was chosen as the subject of this study. That is to say, speed variation in the running condition was measured using the laser doppler unit, and the experimental results were compared with computed ones based on the tooth root stresses in the running condition. From those results, it is found that speed variation in single-tooth contact of Oerlikon-type spiral bevel gears can be assumed from computed results based on the tooth root stresses.
