A gear is basically a toothed wheel that works in tandem with another gear to transmit power or motion to change speed or direction of motion. Gear with asymmetric tooth profile are mainly considered for special applications where the loading of the gear is uni-directional, so the workload on one side is higher compare to other side. The design of asymmetric tooth shape reflects this functionality. In this paper spur gear of a sugarcane juice machine has modeled with asymmetric tooth profile for different pressure angles on drive side and in order to reduce noise, vibration and low requirement of maintenance metallic gears are replaced with non metallic materials. Gear tooth profile are modeled in Pro-E software and static analysis is conducted by using FEM software. Results obtained are compared with symmetric tooth profile gear. Analytical method is used to calculate bending stress by using Lewis equation for asymmetric tooth gears and values obtained are compared with simulated results.
