    I use 2010 so not exactly sure if it is the same in 2013. Go to the "Developer" Tab on the Ribbon Click on Insert for the pull down Click the "More Controls" (bottom Right) Scroll down to find "Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control" CLick OK Click into you spreadsheet Resize as Required Right...

    Standards covering housing design / gearing alignment

    Terry, A good reference for lead modifications can be found in AGMA 927:A01. It has some good examples and demonstration spreadsheets and computer flow diagram. Chris

    Help Calculating AGMA Pitting Geometry Factor

    It would appear that you need to "normalize" the following dimensions: (Cr, Ro1, Ro2) per the second paragraph of section 3. BASIC GEAR GEOMETRY This would then give these as: Cr = 78 Ro1 = 11.5 Ro2 = 68.5 Rb1 = 9.866 Rb2 = 63.429 using these would calculate Rm1 = 10.5 p1 = 2.955 p2 = 23.722...

    oil pressure

    RPM from 460 to 1600 on input at 6,000 kW, helical gear design with Spherical roller bearings. Oil Spray not Splash lube, will probably be using 460 grade oil. Application is heavy industrial.

    oil pressure

    I have an engineer designing a new gearbox. Typically when we design a gearbox we are fitting into an existing system. this time we are designing a new gearbox for a new system. How do we specify the correct oil pressure for the central lube system?

    Does too much backlash weaken a gear pair?

    The standard normal tooth thickness (without backlash) for these gears would be 1.57mm (0.062"). Backlash is typically chosen by application, I typically use a backlash of approx 1% of the normal thickness for a new design so 0.016mm (0.0006") per gear which equals 0.032mm (0.0013") backlash in...

    Spline Coupling Design mot covered by standard

    This sounds like it is really a coupling design more than a simple spline design, is there a requirement for this coupling to accept any angularity. I would suggest using some standard geared couplings (flex/rigid combination). Regards Chris.

    Bevel Gear Rating Software

    AGMA is currently working on a program to calculate ratings for bevel gears. You may try contacting them.

    Spur gear excessive wear in harsh environment

    I would suggest trying to reduce the Specific sliding (Slip) ratio of the gearset. I am assuming since you do not state the center distance that the gear and pinion operate at 4.833" centers (Standard Centers) this would gives slip ratio on the pinion of 3.184 and 1.609 on the gear. The...
