Gear SoftwareISO 6336 Software by AGMA

The ISO 6336 standard is being adopted by countriesthroughout the world. It is the most massive andcomplex gear standard ever. Because of the largenumber of inputs and formulas and because of thechoices in methodology, the new standard is definitelynot for the beginning engineer. Calculating by methodB requires more than 80 input values!

Fortunately, the American Gear ManufacturersAssociation is ready with valuable new software,which lets you master ISO 6336.

Developed and tested over several years by a groupof fourteen AGMA men and women working closelywith the developers by the international standard, thesoftware addresses ISO 6336 method B, the mostcomprehensive, analytical calculation method. Itenables you to:

D determine gear capacity in accordance with theISO 6336 standard quickly and accurately;

D compare your own design and practices with ISO6336 results;

D understand your competitor’s ratings.

The time this program will save you is exponential.Don’t spend days pouring over documents andrunning calculations! AGMA’s clear, logical Windowsscreens lead you through all the necessary inputs,grouping geometry, materials and operatingcharacteristics. The DOS program even allows you tocalculate multiple gear sets with a batch input file!

The manual alone is worth the price! In addition toexplaining the software, this handy document is agreat tool for learning how to use ISO 6336, guidingyou through the complexities and teaching you thecorrect inputs,especially in theexactingareas of toothgeometry and tooling.

AGMA’s Gear Rating SuiteTwo of the most recognized standards in the worldtoday for determining the rating of spur and helicalgears are ANSI/AGMA 2001--C95 and ISO 6336.

Now for the first time, software to calculate ratings inaccordance with each standard is available in onepackage from AGMA. Entitled the Gear Rating Suite,the software allows the user to input data once foreach gearset, and obtain ratings to both standards.

Beginning with AGMA’s ISO6336 Software, whichhasgained international acceptance since its release in1998, the Gear Rating Suite adds an equallycomprehensive module to calculate ratings perANSI/AGMA 2001--C95. Among the many features ofthe software package are:

D An in--depth User’s Manual, and all requiredAGMA and ISO standards.

D User friendly I/O that provides an intuitive userinterface, with drop--down boxes, look--up tables,and graphical guides used to assist in data entry.

D Dual input units which allow the user to switchbetween SI and inch units.

D Error and warning messages are provided withinboth the input and rating routines to help identifyproblems.

D A help program is incorporated within thesoftware.

D Long and short form outputs are provided.

In addition to the gear rating routines and aids, thepackage also provides:

D A Geometry Checker for checking input data toensure they are within allowable ranges. TheGeometry Checker will help identify data entry errorsand unusual gear designs.

D Tolerance worksheets which allow the user tocalculate tooth tolerances from quality numbers,convert quality numbers between AGMA and ISO,and to display tolerances for adjacent grades.

The potential of the Gear Rating Suite to improveyour efficiency and save you time in performing theserigorous calculations makes this a “must have” tool forall gear engineers.

02FTM1. The Effect of Chemically AcceleratedVibratory Finishing on Gear MetrologyAuthors: Lane Winklemann, Mark Michaud, GarySroka, Joseph Arvin and Ali Manesh

Chemically accelerated vibratory finishing is acommercially proven process that is capable ofisotropically superfinishing metals to an Ra < 1.0 ìin.Gears have less friction, run significantly cooler andhave lower noise and vibration when thistechnology is applied. Scuffing, contact fatigue(pitting), and bending fatigue are also reduced oreliminated both in laboratory testing and field trials.This paper presents studies done on aerospaceQ13 spiral bevel gears showing that the amount ofmetal removed to superfinish the surface is bothnegligible and controllable.

02FTM11. Gear Design Optimization Procedure thatIdentifies Robust, Minimum Stress and MinimumNoise Gear Pair DesignsAuthor: Donald Houser

Typical gear design procedures are based on aniterative process that uses rather basic formulas topredict stresses. Modifications such as tip relief andlead crowning are based on experience and thesemodifications are usually selected after the designhas been considered. In this process, noise isusually an after thought left to be chosen by thedesigner after the geometric design has beenestablished. This paper starts withmicro--topographies in the form of profile and leadmodifications. Then, evaluations are made on theload distribution, bending and contact stresses,transmission error, film thickness, flashtemperature, etc. for a large number of designs.The key to this analysis is the rapid evaluation of theload distribution.ISBN: 1--55589--811--4 Pages: 15

98FTM1. A Method for Predicting the Dynamic RootStresses of Helical Gear TeethAuthors: D.R. Houser and J. Harianto

The AGMA dynamic factor has traditionally beentreated as a ”dynamic” load factor where tooth loadis the sum of all the tooth forces that are appliedalong the plane of action at any instant of time.Knowing the total load, however, says little aboutthe degree of load sharing or the load position on atooth where the dynamic load is a maximum. Thepaper describes a method that merges thecapabilities of sophisticated load distribution anddynamic excitation routines with a time domain geardynamics simulation. The effects of tooth surface

modifications, misalignments and spacing errorsmay be analyzed.ISBN: 1--55589--719--3 Pages: 10

1996 PAPERS96FTM1. A Computer Based Approach Aimed atReproducing Master Spiral Bevel and Hypoid Pinionsand GearsAuthors: C. Gosselin, Y. Shiono, T. Nonaka andA. Kubo

In the spiral bevel and hypoid gear manufacturingindustry, master pinions and gears are usuallydeveloped from initial machine settings obtainedfrom computer software, which are then developedfrom initial machine settings obtained fromcomputer software, which are then modified until asatisfactory bearing pattern is obtained, as ”thetarget tooth flank form” to compensate for heattreatment distortions and to consider lappingcannot be accounted for by existing computersoftware.

Once a satisfactory combination of master pinionand gear is obtained, their actual tooth surfacesmay not correspond to those of the theoreticalmodel. In this case, corrective machine settingscalculated from the measurement of the productiontooth flanks by a Coordinate Measuring Machineare applicable only in relation to the actual targettooth flank measurement data, as the theoreticaltooth flank definition is unknown.

This paper presents a computer based approachused to find the machine settings producing atheoretical tooth surface closest to that of ameasured surface, which incidentally can be thetarget tooth flank, in order to effectively usecorrective machine settings in reference to thetheoretical surface.ISBN: 1--55589--668--5 pages: 10

96FTM5. Differential Crowning: A New WeaponAgainst Gear Noise and Dynamic LoadAuthors: M. Wyeth and W. Rouverol

As the power density of gear sets increases, meshdeflections increase, and the variations in thosedeflections, which result primarily from meshstiffness variation, become increasingly significant.

To minimize these undesirable effects, designers ofpower train gear pairs have traditionally specifiedvarious forms of profile modification, the mostcommon of which is tip and/or root relief.

A new system of modifications has been devisedthat substantially eliminates mesh stiffnessvariations throughout the entire engagement angleregardless of what torque load is being transmitted.By substantially eliminating gear noise anddynamic increment, the new modifications make itpossible to replace costly helical gear sets withbetter performing spur sets in many applications.This new system of modifications is described andconfirmatory test results are reported.ISBN: 1--55589--672--3 pages: 4

96FTM6. The F--22 AMAD Gear Drive Optimization ofResonance Characteristics by Detuning, CoulombDamping & Damped Force Response AnalysesAuthor: R. Drago, F. Brown, A. Sane, and D. Stremick

Finite element analyses were performed duringdesign and development of the F22 AMAD gearboxto ensure a design free of damaging resonantresponses within its operating speed range. Ideally,design with respect to resonance characteristicswould have no natural frequencies within theoperating speed range. However, the wide speedrange (from 1445 to 17931 rpm) combined with theweight and geometric constraints imposed by theapplication (the F--22 is an advanced technology,next generation, fighter aircraft) made it impossibleto attain this goal directly in the F--22 AMAD design.

This paper discusses the overall analyticalapproach, analytical methods and evaluation ofgear response to achieve acceptable accessorygear designs. Design modifications, includingdevelopments in the modeling techniques requiredto accommodate the unique characteristics of theserelatively small (compared to the usual helicopter



main power gear) gears are also discussed. Testand analytical results are also presented andcompared.ISBN: 1--55589--673--1 pages: 16

96FTM7. Dynamic Distribution of Load and Stress onExternal Involute GearingsAuthors: J. Börner and D. Houser

Very efficient calculations are obtained byusing specially developed calculation algorithms.An extensive graphic presentation of the calculationresults is included. The same connection of thecalculation of load distribution with the calculation ofdynamic loads is also possible in principle on thebasis of very similar programs (LDP & DYTEM)developed at the Ohio State University.

96FTM8. Thermal Rating of Gear Drives BalanceBetween Power Loss and Heat DissipationAuthors: B. Höhn, K. Michaelis, and T. Vollmer

From the balance between the generated heat in agear box and the dissipated heat from the gear casesurface the mean value for the expected lubricanttemperature can be evaluated. The maximum oiltemperature in a splash lubricated enclosed geardrive limits the transmittable power. High oiltemperatures influence wear, scuffing, micropittingand pitting load capacity of the gears as well as thegear oils’ service life.

Experimental investigations of no--load and loaddependent gear losses in cylindrical and bevelgears as a function of lubricant type and viscosity,load, speed and temperature are reported. Themean value for the coefficient of friction in a gearmesh is evaluated and compared to measurementsin twin disk machines. A rating method for gearmesh power loss is derived.

Investigations, using model and actual gear boxes,show the influence of radiation, free and forcedconnection as well as conduction to the foundationon the heat dissipation from the gear case surface.The influence of design, size, air velocity, surfacefinish of the housing, etc., is reported.

The results of such investigations together with

accepted rating methods for bearing and sealpower loss are introduced into a calculation methodfor the evaluation of the oil temperature in the sumpof a gear box. In sample calculations thepossibilities as well as the limits of this thermalrating method is shown.ISBN: 1--55589--675--8 pages: 12

96FTM9. The Development of a Practical ThermalRating Method for Enclosed Gear DrivesAuthor: A. Phillips

The results of thiscalculation method are compared to the test resultsfrom 251 gear reducer tests. In addition, sincelosses are calculated, this method can be used tocalculate the efficiency of the gear drive for theoperating conditions.ISBN: 1--55589--676--6 pages: 8

96FTM10. Scuffing Resistance of VehicleTransmission GearsAuthors: F. Joachim and H. Collenberg

In many transmission types, the lubricant fulfillsother functions apart from lubricating the gearing,for example in friction elements (synchronizer unit,clutch) in vehicle transmissions, or as a hydraulicfluid (torque converter, retarder, steering system).The modern trends are now high contact ratiogearing as well as the use of low viscosity lubricantsto reduce churning losses. Therefore, at the geardesign and lubricant additive stages, compromisesare now necessary which require the most preciseinformation possible on scuffing resistance of thegearing and lubricant.

It will be demonstrated that the normal testprocedures for determining scuffing resistance arenot suitable for lubricant classification for vehicletransmissions (GL 4 and GL 5). By reducing thetooth width as well as doubling the speed, thescuffing test to DIN 51354 standards was increasedin severity to such an extent, that the parametersnecessary for transmission dimensioning could bedetermined for even higher scuffing resistant oils.The oil data necessary for sufficient scuffingresistance will be shown for different transmissiondesign types.

A process is presented, in which scuffing resistanceis calculated for every point on the tooth flank,based on the ”flash temperature method”, andtaking all variations and corrections into account. Itwill be demonstrated with practical examples, that,as early as the design stage, this method can be



used to detect flank areas at risk, and to eliminatethem with a specific correction design.ISBN: 1--55589--677--4 pages: 8

96FTM11. DIN 3996: A New Standard for Calculatingthe Load Capacity of Worm GearsAuthors: B Höhn and K. Steingröver

During the last years the load capacity of wormgears was raised about 30%. The reasons for thisare the introduction of synthetic oils, optimization ofthe worm gear geometry and manufacturingimprovements. The forthcoming new standard DIN3996 ”Calculation of load capacity of cylindricalworm gear pairs” takes into account thesedevelopments. This standard contains thefollowing load capacity limits: wear, pitting, toothbreakage, temperature and worm deflection. Also,efficiency was taken into consideration. In mostcases the calculation methods are based on resultsof recent investigations, which were performed onworm gear test rigs at the FZG. In the case of wear,pitting and tooth breakage test results and theirinfluence on DIN 3996 are shown.

The calculation method for wear resistance isbased on the fact that the wear intensity of amaterial/lubricant combination is a function of thelubricant film thickness and the lubricant structure.The main influence parameter on pitting resistanceis the Hertzian stress. For tooth root strength thecalculation method is based on a nominal shearstress theory, in case of worm deflection on thedeflection curve of a cylindrical shaft.

The application of this new standard for gears inpractice is discussed by recalculating someexamples.ISBN: 1--55589--678--2 pages: 14

95FTM6. Development of an Epicyclic Gearbox forReduced Sub--Synchronous Vibrations in GasTurbo--Generator SetsAuthor: A. Rakhit

In star epicyclic gearboxes, low frequencysubsynchronous (below turbine speed) vibrationscan be predominant. Turbo--generator gear unittesting shows that these low frequency vibrationsmay occur even when the rotating components arebalanced precisely. In star epicyclic gearboxes ofStoeckicht design, splined couplings between thering gears and output shaft are used to float the ringgears for load sharing. The sub--synchronousvibrations that arise from such components aretransmitted along with the mesh frequencyvibrations to the turbine rotor bearings. When the

amplitude levels of these vibrations and theirharmonics exceed a certain limit, the life of thesebearings is significantly reduced. To reduce thevibrations from the dynamic eccentricity of ringgears and splined couplings the design is changed.ISBN: 1--55589--655--3 Pages: 7

95FTM8. Miner’s Rule -- A More Definitive ApproachAuthor: Al Meyer

ANSI/AGMA 2001--B88, Appendix B presents thefundamental method for evaluating Miner’s Rule.To analyze the load spectrum, stress values arecalculated for a given load and then modified using“K” or “C” factors. When computing the stresses forother points, the stress values are usually simplyratioed rather than recomputing the stresses usingnew “K” and “C” for each point. In this paper, theeffect of using a dynamic and load distribution factorfor each load point is evaluated and compared withthe simple ratioing approach. Comparisons aremade for various applications.ISBN: 1--55589--657--X Pages: 6

95FTM9. Bending and Compressive Stress Analysisof External Helical Gearsets of Varying Contact RatiosAuthor: David Wenthen

In an attempt to better understand how thedurability of a helical gearset is affected by changesin profile (mP) and face contact ratio (mF), ananalytical investigation was done in which mP wasvaried. Thirty--two combinations were studied intotal. The gears were modeled using the hybridfinite element computational method ContactAnalysis Programming Package (CAPP), ofAdvanced Numerical Solutions. The results of thisanalysis suggest that for a given level of facecontact ratio, an advantage in bending andcompressive stress exists at the mP=2.1 level overall of the others considered. Increasing both mPand mF had the effect of smoothing out the bendingand compressive stresses when viewed as afunction of roll angle.ISBN: 1--55589--658--8 Pages: 10

91FTM9. Rerating Damaged Naval Ship PropulsionGearsAuthors: R. Coblenz and C. Reeves

When naval ship propulsion gear teeth break, theaffected teeth are ”field dressed”, so that the unitscan be put back into service. Then the gears arererated to a lower rating and used reliably, at least



until replacement elements become available.Using sketches or computers, an estimate is madeof the instantaneous total length of contact as thedamaged sections go through mesh with the resultsbeing used as a basis of rerating the unit.Consideration is given to end reliefs, the location ofthe damage on the helix and the nature of the fielddressing, and actual material properties. Theresults of this analysis, together with analysis of thecauses of the original failure, provide limits withinwhich the unit can be operated with the samereliability as new.ISBN: 1--55589--606--5 Pages: 9

91FTM12. The Combined Mesh StiffnessCharacteristics of Straight and Spiral Bevel GearsAuthors: K. Yoon, J.W. David, and M. Choi

The combined mesh stiffness of spiral bevel gearsis one important factor for dynamic analysis. Thetotal deflection on the contact line of a tooth pair iscomposed of bending, shear and tooth contactdeflections. The bending and shear deflections onthe contact line of the gear tooth are evaluated bythe finite element method with isoparametric shellelements, and the tooth contact deflections areevaluated using Hertzian contact theory. Based onthese deflections, stiffness is obtained using the socalled flexibility method, and then the combinedmesh stiffness is obtained by applying contact andload sharing ratios.ISBN: 1--55589--609--X Pages: 9

91FTM13. Separation of Lubrication and Cooling inOil--Jet Lubricated GearsAuthors: J. Greiner and K. Langenbeck

Results from tests on a high--speed back--to--backstand (vt = 70 m/sec = 13725 ft/min) show theinfluence of the separation of lubrication andcooling oil supply on gear temperatures (scuffingload capacity) and efficiency. The gear mesh is onlygiven the minimum oil flow rate necessary forlubricating the working tooth flanks. Cooling isprovided by spraying oil onto the inner surfaces ofthe rims. This leads to a reduction of up to 60% ofthe total oil flow rate compared to currentlyrecommended flow rates. In spite of the reducedtotal oil flow rate the temperature level of the gearscan be kept low while the efficiency slightlyincreases due to reduced hydraulic losses in thegear mesh.ISBN: 1--55589--610--3 Pages: 19

91FTM14. The Effect of Thermal Shrink andExpansion on Plastic Gear GeometryAuthor: R. Kleiss

When plastic gears are meshed with steel gearsthere can be the differences in thermal expansionbetween the two materials. If a particular gear meshis expected to operate satisfactorily over a widethermal range, the variations in mesh geometry dueto temperature must be taken into account. Thesevariable parameters can pose vexing problems tothe plastics gear designer. This paper presents astraightforward way to consider the shrinkage ofplastic gears both in molding and in operation.ISBN: 1--55589--611--1 Pages: 6

91FTMS1. The Element Stress Analysis of a GenericSpur Gear ToothAuthor: E. A. Tennyson

The prediction of bending stresses in a gear tooth,resulting from an externally applied torque, requiresspecial consideration when designing spur gearsystems. The tooth geometry is such that excessrisers exist which must be accounted for. Inaddition, variables affecting the exact load point onthe tooth and the direction of the applied load arecritical. An interactive preprocessor is developedwhich generates all the information, including adetailed tooth profile, necessary to perform a finiteelement bending stress analysis of the gearsystem. To validate the procedure, a test group ofspur gears is identified and analyzed. The resultsare compared to those obtained via the AmericanGear Manufacturers Association (AGMA)standards. The comparison revealed the finiteelement stresses to be slightly more conservativethan corresponding AGMA standard stresses. Ageneralized stress equation and geometry factor,based on the finite element approach, are alsointroduced. This paper is intended only as a proof ofconcept.ISBN: 1--55589--615--4 Pages: 12

90FTM5. Polishing WearAuthors: A. Milburn, R. Errichello and D. Godfrey

Polishing wear has been known to occur on pistonrings, cylinder bores, valve lifters, hydrauliccomponents, rolling--element bearings and gearteeth. The bright, polished surfaces may look good,but polishing wear is detrimental because it is a highwear phenomenon which reduces the geometricaccuracy of the components. A case history ispresented of a gearbox which suffered extensive



polishing wear of the gear teeth and rolling--elementbearings. The results of research into the basicmechanism of polishing wear, and laboratoryanalyses of materials and lubricants are presented.Polishing wear is shown to be due to fine--scaleabrasion. It is promoted by a combination of a fineabrasive and a gear oil with chemically--activeadditives.ISBN: 1--55589--557--3 Pages: 17

90FTM10. The Mechanism of Failure With andWithout Titanium Nitride Coating in Roller TestsAuthors: J. Vižintin

To clarify the effect of Titanium Nitride (TiN) coatingon failure resistance and frictional characteristicsand compare this effect with that produced by healtreated coatings, two roller tests have been madeand the stress resulting from the combination of theHertzian stress field and frictional force field on andbelow the contacting surface as well as the flashtemperature rise were calculated. The failureresistance of the TiN--coated roller pair was greaterthan that of the heat treated roller pair. Themechanism of failure resistance can be explainedby the shearing stress (Hertzian stress + frictionalforce) acting on the contact surface. This stressmodifies the structure in the vicinity below the TiNlayer which is then sheared in the weak trackdirection.ISBN: 1--55589--562--X Pages: 33

90FTM11. Multiple Iteration -- RespectableTrial--and--ErrorAuthor: M.L. Baxter

“Trial--and--error” was once a dirty word. Now, withcomputers, it has become the most valuable tool inengineering calculation.

90FTMS1. Kinematic Analysis of Transmissions --Based on the Finite Element MethodAuthor: A.L. Sytstra

In order to evaluate the kinematic properties of adesign of a transmission in its early stages, acomputer program has been developed. By meansof geometric reasoning, a finite element model isdeduced from the conceptual design which hasbeen built using an experimental 3D object editor.Since the interrelations between the objects are notspecified by the designer they are found by thecomputer by supplying a set of rules. The followingkinematic analysis uses a mixed Euler/Lagrangedescription and detects mechanisms (possibleinfinitesimal displacements of the nodal pointswithout causing strain in the elements) in thetransmission. The mechanisms found arevisualized by the object editor by means ofalternating images of the design on the screenwhich gives a real idea of motion. A well--foundeddecision can be made whether the conceptualmodel has to be changed, rejected, or can beaccepted. The method of analysis used gives agood start for a static and dynamic analysis.ISBN: 1--55589--568--9 Pages: 18
