Bevel Gear Strength Calculation With Legacy ANSI

Based on the fixed-end beam calculation. Includes the majority of effects. Accessible only for English units.

Safety factor of contact fatigue

where:

 

S fe

contact fatigue limit (material property)

 

F t

tangential force acting at teeth

 

b w

operating tooth width

Safety factor of bending fatigue

where:

 

s n

bending fatigue limit (material property)

 

b wF1,2 = min (b 1,2 , b w + 2m)

tooth width for bending
