AGMA

The document discusses factors used in AGMA formulas to calculate gear strength including: - The AGMA geometry factor J which accounts for stress concentration at fillets and is based on pressure angle and load sharing. - Bending strength number St which is similar to fatigue strength and depends on gear material grade, with values given for through hardened steel gears. - The bending strength life factor KL which adjusts St for different life goals than 107 cycles and varies with material properties and surface finishes. - An example calculation is given for determining the maximum horsepower that can be transmitted using AGMA formulas for a conveyor drive gear set.

AGMA Geometry Factor - J

-Updated Lewis Form Factor includes effect of stress concentration at fillet


-Different charts for different pressure angles
-Available for Precision Gears where we can assume load sharing (upper curves)
-HPSTC highest point of single tooth contact
-Account for meshing gear and load sharing (contact ratio > 1)
-Single tooth contact conservative assumption (bottom curve)
-J = 0.311 ln N + 0.15 (20 degree)
-J = 0.367 ln N + 0.2016 (25 degree)
