The majority of loaded static transmission error test stands developed in the past had little success generating accurate results versus analytical predictions for parallel-axis gearing. Design flaws historically caused issues with speed and torque control, ultimately, leading to erroneous results. Fortunately, some of these issues were corrected through the years, most recently by Schmitkons [1], for loaded transmission error testing of bevel gears sets. The original goal of this thesis was to translate those successes into a test rig for parallel-axis gearing that can measure static transmission error and shaft deflections to take a look at transmission error, shuttling and friction force excitations. However, due to difficulties in achieving a good comparison between experimental results and analytical predictions, the goal was shifted towards simply assessing the performance of the new test stand. By using virtually the same control setup and measurement setup as the loaded bevel gear static transmission error test stand, the new test stand generated static transmission error results for both spur and helical gears at various torque levels. Those results were compared to analytical prediction software codes (WindowsLDP, RomaxDesigner and Helical3D), using optimal and measured micro-geometry topographies. The static transmission error results compared well at low torque values, but deviated from the predicted trends at higher torque values. Ultimately, lessons learned from this test setup will be reflected in future experimental work in order to better assess the accuracy of prediction tools.
