The issues of efficiency improvement in hydrodynamic (liquid) or limit (semi-liquid) modes of friction of gears with an asymmetric profile and the effect of the liquid on tooth damage, power loss and temperature in contact, as well as the role of an elastic medium that dampens shocks and changes contact lines, are considered. In many gears, the tooth load per tooth is much higher and applied for longer periods of time. The asymmetrical shape of the tooth reflects this functional difference. In the case of asymmetric gears, the standard symmetrical toothed tool rail is modified by changing the pressure angle of one of the side surfaces. However, this simplistic approach to the design of an asymmetric transmission significantly limits the ability to maximize the performance of a wide range of possible applications of these transmissions. As the frequency of impact interactions increases, the lubricating layer of high-speed gears with an asymmetric profile ceases to respond to pressure changes, and the load value, which determines the smallest layer thickness over time, approaches the minimum stationary component of the spectrum of dynamic loads. At the same time, noise and vibration levels are slightly reduced. Therefore, in the calculations of the strength, contact endurance and seizure of high-speed gears with an asymmetric profile, the complex influence of the criterion parameters of the lubricant must be taken into account not only when determining the allowable stresses, but also when determining the amount of dynamic load amplification due to the impact interaction of the teeth.
