Abstract: The breakthrough of complex surface measurement technology makes the rapid acquisition of gear topology error a reality. For deeply digging into the 3-D information, the characterization and decomposition of 3-D deviations become basic problems of overall evaluating the gear accuracy and taking full advantage of measurements. The normal deviations of gear are mapped to the coordinate system of the plane of action. This manuscript completes the two-dimensionalization of the 3-D tooth flank basing on dimensional reduction technology and Legendre polynomials for building up the 3-D deviation characterization of the tooth flank. The relationship between the expansion coefficients of Legendre polynomials and the characteristic deviations of the tooth flanks has been illustrated to realize the decouple of characteristic errors. The experiment shows the effectiveness of Legendre polynomials in characterizing and decomposing the 3-D deviations, which provides theoretical foundation for gear 3-D big data analysis, overall evaluation of the gear accuracy, machining error traceability and performance prediction of gear pairs.
