Article history Received: 4 June 2019 Accepted: 12 August 2019 Published Online: 30 November 2019 The thermal balance state of high-speed and heavy-load gear transmission system has an important influence on the performance and failure of gear transmission and the design of gear lubrication system. Excessive surface temperature of gear teeth is the main cause of gluing failure of gear contact surface. To investigate the gear heat distribution in meshing process and discuss the effect of thermal conduction on heat distribution,a finite element model of spur gear is presented in the paper which can represent general involute spur gears. And a simulation approach is use to calculate gear heat distribution in meshing process. By comparing with theoretical calculation, the correctness of the simulation method is verified, and the heat distribution of spur gear under the condition of heat conduction is further analyzed. The difference between the calculation results with heat conduction and without heat conduction is compared. The research has certain reference significance for dry gear hobbing and the same type of thermal-structural coupling analysis.
