Contact Ratio Optimization of Powder-Metal Gears
Powder metal (PM) alloys are becoming more of a solution for high-performance gears, not only because of part price but […]
Comparison of Tooth Interior Fatigue Fracture Load Capacity to Standardized Gear Failure Modes
Introduction Gears are case hardened to produce residual stresses at the surface — improving wear resistance, bending fatigue, and contact […]
Review of Microstructure and Properties of Non-Ferrous Alloys for Worm Gear Application and Advantages of Centrifugally Cast Gears
Worm gears are used for large gear reductions. Gear ratio ranges of 5:1 to 300:1 are typical. Generally, worm gear […]
Influence of Contact Conditions on the Onset of Micropitting in Rolling-Sliding Contacts Pertinent to Gear Applications
Micropitting is a type of surface damage that occurs in concentrated, rolling-sliding contacts, such as those between gear teeth, through […]
New Refinements to the Use of AGMA Load Reversal and Reliability Factors
The American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) rating standard, ANSI/AGMA 2101-D04, “Fundamental Rating Factors and Calculation Methods for Involute Spur and […]
Application of Advanced Mesh Analysis To Eliminate Pinion Failures
Through a case study involving pinion failures on plastic extruder drives, this paper covers failure analysis, gear rating review, application […]
