First...I am not a gear design 'expert' and am even less of a materials expert when it comes to gear design, but I'd say I know enough to be dangerous.
So I'm looking at a high speed, high power helical gear application. Using AGMA 2001 and 6011 for ratings. Gear ratios between 7 to 22...
I am designing a gear case to house two pinions mated in series with a bull gear (BG in the middle driving both). I've seen that the center distance that is machined into the gear case is usually a few mils larger than the theoretical center distance but is there an established method for...
I've been searching on and off for the last 6 months for established methods for determining the minimum and recommended flow rate to lubricate and cool a high speed helical gear mesh and have found very little. And the methods I have found have produced a broad range of flow rates.
This is a...
I was recently given the task of calculating the required drain size needed to drain an annulus fed by oil being ejected from a hydrodynamic bearing. This would be a gravity drain that is self venting. It is required that there will not be a fluid level build up in the annulus.
