Table 2 Combined Speeed Factor for Wear Xc (for 26000 hour rating)
+44 121 360 0155
Shaft centre distance in mm = 1 /2 sum gear teeth x pitch
= 1 /2 (Z1 + Z2) P
From this initial selection each gear can be assessed for strength
and wear using the following formulae. The least of the four
calculated powers is the capacity of the gear set. The capacity
required is determined by multiplying actual power by a service
factor relative to driver and driven equipment, refer page c2. If
calculated power is below required capacity increase pitch or face
width of gears, adjust teeth sizes accordingly, and reassess drive. If
calculated power is substantially in excess of required capacity a
lower Module could be considered.
Te l
Strength capacity Ps= Xb x Sb x YS x F x N x Z x P2 kw
19,100 x 103
Wear capacity Pw = Xc x Sc x YZ x F x N x Z x P1.8kw
10,000 x 103
Where:- F = Face width mm
N = Gear shaft speed r.p.m.
P = Gear pitch, Module No.
Sb = Bending stress for gear material (see below)
Sc = Surface stress for gear material (see below)
Xb = Speed factor for strength - see table 1
Xc = Speed factor for wear - see table 2
YS = Strength factor - see table 3
YZ = Zone factor - see table 4
