About

Tongke Su is a leading figure in precision mechanical transmission, with a primary focus on the design and analysis of advanced gear systems for industrial robotics. His research centers on improving the performance and reliability of spiral bevel gears, particularly those with double circular-arc profiles, which are critical for high-torque, compact applications like robot joint nutation drives. Su’s most-cited work, "Tooth contact analysis with latent error of double circular-arc spiral bevel gears for industrial robot joint nutation drive" (2019, 17 citations), addresses a key challenge in gear engineering: predicting and mitigating the effects of manufacturing and assembly errors on tooth contact patterns. By developing a sophisticated tooth contact analysis model that incorporates latent errors, Su provides a foundational method for optimizing gear meshing behavior, reducing vibration, and enhancing load capacity. This contribution is vital for the next generation of industrial robots, where precision and durability are paramount. His work has been recognized for bridging theoretical gear mechanics with practical robotic applications, making him a respected voice in the field of mechanical engineering and transmission design.
