An experimental investigation of a self-vacuuming action of a gear pair for the purpose of reducing windage loss (Interior vacuum level, power losses, and temperature rise)

Windage loss may become more than 10% of all losses when large sized gearing runs fast. In order to reduce the windage loss, it needs to vacuum a gear box because it is proportional to the density of ambient air. The study proposes a helical gearing unit in which interior air is discharged due to me...
