mfgenggear and 3DDave
Thanks for your precious time, I really appreciate the input.
We have established periodic checking to check crack progress.
The gear is part of Stamping Press machine. Insane loads are going through these gears and yes, the risk is really high.
We manufacture 2000 cars...

I have this crack in idle double helical gear. Continuous monitoring and mapping are in process.
Stopping the Machine is out of question. New gears will take 3 months to reach the plant.
In the meantime, to avoid breakdown, I need to know of any temporary countermeasures are possible...
