Hello All,
i'm examining a failed gear (pinion-wheel, straight teeth) in which the pinion lost a few tooth due to fatigue, starting from one side of the teeth. There is also a pattern screaming misalignment, but this pattern is present on both flanks, and in both cases on the side of the pinion. Normal misalignment would cause these pattern to be present on opposite sides. Am I wrong in assuming shaft bending (or the box deforming) causing some sort of deformation (and thus a "dynamic misalignment") under load?
