Abstract

Honing process is widely used to improve the surface finish of hardened gears. The existing challenging for this manufacturing process includes its low efficiency and excessive forces exerted on both of engaged gears and tools. Ultrasonic assisted honing has a number of superior advantages over the traditional methods. This paper presents a new theoretical method for the parameter determination of non-resonant gear transformer, which is the key component of ultrasonic assisted honing systems. A mathematical model for the ultrasonic assisted honing system is first established and solved with different design parameters by using the numerical method. The numerated results then are verified by the FEM analysis and experiments. It is found that the proposed method is effective and useful. The details will be addressed in the paper.
