2. Selection of Materials
Choose the suitable material for pinion and wheel
from PSG Data book page no: 1.40, 8.4, 8.5 using
the i value.
If the pinion and wheel are same design only
for pinion.
If they are made of different material design
for both pinion and wheel.
Most cases C45 for pinion and C.I grade 20
for wheel (If material is not specified)
Unit:II “Spur Gears and Parallel Axis Helical Gears”
3. Gear Life
Calculate the gear life based on given data.
Gear life in (hours)
Gear life in (min)
Life in number of cycles = (gear life in min) x N
N- speed of gear
If gear life is not specified assume it as 20,000
hrs
Convert the
unit to
kgf/cm2
Unit:II “Spur Gears and Parallel Axis Helical Gears”
Calculation of [ c]
From Page no: 8.16, Table:15; based on the
available data for the gear material select the
formula for design contact stress
7. Selection of z1,z2
If the number of teeth is not provided
Assume z1=17 for 20 pressure angle
Assume z1=32 for 141/2 pressure angle
Calculate the value for z2
𝑧2
𝑖=
𝑧1
Revised k
From Page no:8.15 for the p value choose k
value
Unit:II “Spur Gears and Parallel Axis Helical Gears”
Revised kd
From Page No:8.16 using the IS quality, pitch line
velocity and surface hardness value choose kd
