Gear Tooth Loading Patterns
AM-Gears 9
Gear Tooth Meshing• Gear teeth slide into mesh, then roll, then
slide out of mesh• Need to lubricate to prevent metal-to-metal
contact• Need to provide hardness to resist
alternating stresses applied during load transfer
• Need to provide strength to resist bending

Pinion Deflections & Longitudinal Corrections
AM-Gears 22
Tooth Alignment Modification
The intentional deviation from the theoretical helix angle to compensate for deflections.
Types:– End Ease Off– Tooth Alignment
AM-Gears 23
End Ease Off
• Applied to ends of helix to reduce the concentrated end loading
• Standard Practice is 0.0006 inch applied at each end for about 8% of helix length
AM-Gears 24
Tooth Alignment• Alignment modification involving a substantial
portion of the helix• When used:
– Total uncorrected deflection exceeds 0.001 inch for through hardened and 0.0007 inch for carburized
– Calculated Load Distribution Factor, Cm >1.6 Cm = peak load / average load
• Amount of correction - about 50% of total deflection• Length of correction - usually 50% of total helix
length

Surface Hardening• Induction / Flame -Produces quenched layer
on the surface of a quenched and tempered part with higher hardness.
• Carburizing - Produces a composite material high carbon high hardness surface layer, strong, ductile, low carbon core
• Nitriding - Produces a hard nitride surface with a strong, ductile, low carbon core

Surface Hardening
AM-Gears 38
Alert on High Energy Gear Failures• Core fracture of carburized
gears ≥ 20 inches (508 mm) in diameter with PLV ≥30,000 fpm (9,144 mpm)
• Materials of AISI 4320 & 18CrNiMo7-6
• Gear over-stress– Centrifugal stresses due to
rotation– Transient thermal stresses
developed during start-up– Residual stresses developed
from Q & T during fabrication
AM-Gears 39
Specifying High Energy Gears• Consider AISI 9310 material with max. sulfur level
of 0.012 wt. % – Adequate sulfur to facilitate machining, but low enough
to ensure acceptable toughness• Min. Charpy toughness of 38 ft-lbs with a min.
shear of 80% at the lowest operation temperature• Consider Fracture Toughness• Shear wave UT inspection procedure• Mechanical testing
– 110% of MCS (API)– Overspeed conditions as specified

Mechanical Rating• Common Definition
– “Catalog” power rating– AGMA power rating level that gearset rates at 1.0 SF– Lowest of two calculated power ratings
• API Definition– Gear unit rated power multiplied by specified gear SF
• All gear-tooth standards recognize the difficulty in maintaining equal loading across the width of a gear tooth– Pinion shape limits via API L/d ratio limits
API requires gear units are sized on the basis of a Tooth Pitting Index, called a K Factor
Note: API & AGMA definitions & rating criteria vary significantly

Im = API Material Index (API Table 4 & Figure 3)
SF = API Service Factor (API Table 3)
Service Factor (SF) is applied to the tooth pitting index and bending stress and depends on the characteristics of the driver and the driven equipment. It accounts for differences in potential overload, shock load and/or oscillatory torque characteristics

Gear Finish Quality & Accuracy(rms, micro-inches)
Hob 140 (3 DPN) - 60 (10 DPN)Grind 20Shave 15Hone 5CBN Grind 10
ExxonMobil GP 10-10-01 requires that unplated tooth surfaces on loaded faces of completed gears have a finish, as measured along the pitch line, of 0.51 micrometers (20 micro-inches) Ra or better.
RATIONALE: Decreasing the surface finish from 32 (API) to 20 rms Ra cuts the gear surface finish factor in half and directionally doubles the tooth pitting resistance. Modern gear manufacturing machine tools can readily produce a 20 micro-inch finish at no or low added cost.
AM-Gears 63
Gear Test Configurations• Spin, no load, full speed• Partial load, full speed• Full load, full speed• Full torque, reduced speed• Locked torque• Full torque - Static test
AM-Gears 64
API 613 Basic Testing• No load spin test• Test time: 4 hours @ full speed & 15 min. @ overspeed• Oil inlet temperature, pressure & flow• Oil outlet (drain) temperature• Bearing temperatures• Shaft vibration, amplitude filtered & unfiltered• Housing vibration• Sound level• Verification of lateral critical speed• Internal inspection after testing• Optional testing as specified (ref. API 613)
AM-Gears 65
Gears Depend on Full Oil Film Separation
• Wear resistance of teeth• Bearing performance• For optimum performance oil must be:
– Properly selected– Directed where it’s needed– Work after many hours of operation– Clean & cool
• ISO 4406 19/17/14
AM-Gears 66
How Gear Units Lubricate
• Splash systems– Units require troughs for bearing lubrication
• Pressure systems– Gears are sprayed
• Into mesh for lubrication• Out of mesh for cooling
– Bearings are pressure fed– Units require pumps & coolers for proper
operation– Oil pans and false bottoms
AM-Gears 67
Splash Lube System
• Gear dips in oil and lubricates teeth
• Oil splashes violently inside case
• Troughs catch oil and direct oil to bearings
AM-Gears 68
Pressurized Lube System
• Oil pump• Filter• Cooler • Pressure control
valve• Pressurized
passages• Sprays
AM-Gears 69
Types of Gear Repair
• Replacement gear set• Re-cutting• Re-grinding (“kiss” grind)• Lapping• Re-rimming
AM-Gears 70
Replace Gear Set
• Most expensive option• For a single reduction unit, cost is ~ 60% of
new gear unit• For a double or triple reduction unit, cost is
~ 75% of new gear unit
AM-Gears 71
Re-cutting
• Short lead time• Re-cut gear and
new pinion• ~ 40% of cost of
a new gear unit
AM-Gears 72
AM-Gears 74
Re-grind (“Kiss” Grind)
• No new parts required
• ~ 20-25% of cost of a new gear unit
• Will increase backlash
AM-Gears 75
AM-Gears 76
Re-rimming
• High cost• Long lead time• Only have to make one
part• Can change gear ratio
(2 new parts required)
AM-Gears 77
Lapping
• Least expensive option
• Too much lapping can destroy tooth profile
