6.2. REDUCING NOISE AT THE LEVEL OF THE SOUND SOURCE1091. Increase <strong>the</strong> contact time2. Use helicoidal gears3. Increase <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> teeth4. Improve <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> transmission (alignment, accuracy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>gearing),5. Use plastic gears for small loadsRolling noiseRolling noise is <strong>the</strong> result <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> roughness or <strong>the</strong> irregularity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> contactsurfaces. Rolling noise occurs in roller and ball bearings, belts, rail androad vehicles. The rolling noise also depends on <strong>the</strong> flexibility <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> contactsurfaces. The frequency content <strong>of</strong> rolling noise is mainly broadband.The design rules for rolling noise are :1. Provide a smooth roll surface2. Use suitable lubrication3. Use precision bearings4. Minimize <strong>the</strong> tolerances <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> housing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bearings5. Increase <strong>the</strong> flexibility <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> contact areaInertiaAcceleration <strong>of</strong> a mass leads to forces that can produce noise e.g. by impact,rolling, friction or pulsation. Inertia forces can be caused by oscillatingmasses or by (non-balanced) rotating parts.Inorder tocontrol inertia noise, onehasto takeinto account <strong>the</strong> followingdesign rules :1. Balance rotors or use dynamic balancing2. Minimize accelerating masses3. Increase <strong>the</strong> uniformity <strong>of</strong> motion
