What is Minimum Spur Gear Thickness Away From Tooth Area
What is Minimum Spur Gear Thickness Away From Tooth Area
(OP)
How can I calculate the minimum spur gear thickness in the area away from the teeth? This gear is loaded on center with the gear. I would like to thin down the gear leaving a thicker web for teeth.
Dp=20
Teeth number = 19/102 (.95/5.1" dia.)
Possibly 1055 heat treated material
.8 hp @ 7000 rpm., pinion drives gear
Life - 250 hours
I can run an FEA static or buckling analysis if this helps.

You could get probably 6 holes 3/4" max diameter, 8 maybe will get you minimun weight but a little stress analisis would be good but with 6 you are on the safe side.
