Gear Quality Rating
Gear Quality Rating
(OP)
Am working on a planetary gear train, and I am getting gears in at a lower gear quality rating (Q5 rather than Q7) than I specified. What is the impact of the lower quality gears...durability, noise...? I need to know what my risk is to use these gears. What characteristic am I most likely to see a problem with and how can I test?

PM gears can benefit from oil quench after sintering. The oil can make the difference between failure and acceptable life.
