Induction hardening of gear teeth is a well known for its challenges, but also for its potential for improved quality and process control. For complex geometric parts like gears, the power density and induction frequency need to...

The service life of a gearbox is determined by many factors. The bearings in the gearbox play a major role since they themselves deliver an important function and in addition interact with the shafts, the casing and...

Gear tooth wear and micropitting is a very difficult phenomenon to predict analytically. The failure mode of micropitting is closely correlated to the lambda ratio . Micro pitting can be the limiting design parameter for long-term durability....

Since the 1694 invention of the involute curve by the French scientist, Philippe de la Hire, and the application thereof to gearing by the prolific Swiss mathematician Leonard Euler, the world has embraced and developed this type...

After a period of operation high speed turbo gears may exhibit a change in the longitudinal tooth contact pattern reducing full face width contact and thereby increasing the risk of tooth distress due to the decreased loaded...

Micropitting occurs in gears and rolling-element bearings that operate in the mixed or micro EHL lubrication regime. It manifests in many different ways depending on the loads, speeds, rolling and sliding velocities, macrogeometry, surface topography, edge effects,...

Different high-performance gear oils were examined on an FZG back-to-back gear test rig to determine if changeover to these high-performance gear oils could stop micropitting formation which occurred with other industrial gear oils. The test results showed...

This paper presents the AGMA925-A03 scuffing risk predictions for a series of spur and helical gear sets of transmissions that are used in commercial vehicles ranging from SAE class 3 through class 8. Contact temperature was calculated...

Micropitting, pitting and wear are typical gear failure modes, which can occur on the flanks of slowly operated and highly stressed internal gears. However the calculation methods for the flank load carrying capacity have mainly been established...

The first edition of the international calculation method for micropitting, ISO TR 15144-1:2010, was just published last December. It is the first official international calculation method to check for the risk of micropitting ever published. Years ago,...
