AGMA Publications Catalog 49 April 2020

The document discusses several papers presented at a conference on gears and transmissions. The papers cover topics such as designing robust tooth modifications, reliability and safety factors in gear design, comparing various gear rating standards, predicting dynamic factors in high-speed gearboxes, the effect of steel cleanliness on gear fatigue life, life prediction of rack and pinions, and how polyketone polymers can improve gear performance.

17FTM11.

FE-Based Method for Design of Robust Tooth Flank Modifications for Cylindrical and Planetary
Gear Stages Regarding Manufacturing Tolerances
Authors: Christian Brecher, Christoph Löpenhaus, Julian Theling, Marius Schroers, Daniel Piel
The authors present a method to evaluate the quality and stability of flank modifications regarding manufacturing
tolerances during the design process, using an FE-based tooth contact analysis. The presented design process
provides a method to examine and simulate characteristics of the excitation behavior and durability of a gear pair.
This enables the engineer to choose the most robust micro-geometry in terms of quality and stability already in the
design process.

17FTM12. Reliability, Lifetime and Safety Factors

Authors: Stefan Beermann
This paper uses several examples to show the practical differences in using safety factors versus reliabilities. The
failure probability of all components for a specific lifetime is calculated to provide the reliability of the whole
gearbox as a system of components. This provides the engineer an easier method to compare designs and
identify the critical components.

17FTM13. A Comparison of Current AGMA, ISO and API Gear Rating Methods
Authors: John M. Rinaldo
There are many different gear rating methods in use today, and they can give substantially different results for any
given gear set. This paper will make it easy to understand the choices and the impact the choices have on
gearbox design. The eight standards examined are AGMA 2001, AGMA 6011, AGMA 6013, ISO 6336, API 613,
API 617, API 672, and API 677. This paper will provide a useful aid to customers who are unsure of the
differences between the standards.

17FTM14. Prediction of Dynamic Factors for Helical Gears in a High-Speed Multi-Body Gearbox System
Authors: Niranjan Raghuraman, Chad Glinsky, Sharad Jain
This paper will analyze the influence of operating speed, torque, system dynamics, and gear micro-geometry on
the dynamic factors of a high-speed gearbox. It will show that the dependence of dynamic factor on torque is
significant and must not be ignored, and that the presence of system resonance modes increases dynamic
factors. The dynamic factors calculated in this study are compared with the dynamic factor values suggested by
ISO and AGMA standards.

17FTM15. Fatigue Performance and Cleanliness of Carburizing Steels for Gears

Authors: Joakim Fagerlund, Lily Kamjou
The cleanliness of steels used for gears is of great importance when looking to improve life of gears or increase
loads. In this paper, carburizing steels with the same basic chemical composition, but with a varying cleanliness
level, are compared. The investigation showed a good qualitative correlation between the fatigue performance
and the inclusion assessment made by ultrasonic evaluation and SEM. The results also show that traditional
micro-inclusion rating methods are not sensitive enough to give a good indication of material performance.

17FTM16. Predicting Life on Through Hardened Steel Rack and Pinion for Jacking Applications in the
Offshore Industry
Authors: Adrian Nowoisky
It is well known in the industry that, according to AGMA and ISO gear calculation methods, the contact stresses in
rack and pinion systems for jack up applications exceed the permissible limits by a factor of 3 to 6. However,
these applications have been in service without any failures for more than 20 years. This paper will outline the
process of the analytical evaluation of a specific design and validate it with systems currently in service.
