\tThis information sheet is designed to provide currently available tribological information pertaining to oil lubrication of industrial gears for power transmission applications.\u00a0 It is intended to serve as a general guideline and source of information about gear oils, their properties, and their general tribological behavior in gear contacts.\u00a0 Manufacturers and end-users are encouraged, however, to work with their lubricant suppliers to address specific concerns or special issues that may not be covered here (such as greases).<\/p>\n

\tThe equations provided herein allow the user to calculate specific oil film thickness and instantaneous contact (flash) temperature for gears in service.\u00a0 These two parameters are considered critical in defining areas of operation that may lead to unwanted surface distress.\u00a0 Surface distress may be scuffing (adhesive wear), fatigue (micropitting and macropitting), or excessive abrasive wear (scoring).\u00a0 Each of these forms of surface distress may be influenced by the lubricant; the calculations are offered to help assess the potential risk involved with a given lubricant choice.\u00a0 Flow charts are included as aids to using the equations.<\/p>\n

\tThis information sheet is a supplement to ANSI\/AGMA 2101-C95 and ANSI\/AGMA 2001-C95.\u00a0 It has been introduced as an aid to the gear manufacturing and user community.\u00a0 Accumulation of feedback data will serve to enhance future developments and improved methods to evaluate lubricant related surface distress.<\/p>\n

\tIt was clear from the work on the revision of standard ANSI\/AGMA 2001-C95 (ANSI\/AGMA 2101-C95, metric version) that supporting information regarding lubricant properties and general tribological understanding of contacting surfaces would aid in understanding of the standard and provide the user with more tools to make an informed decision about the performance of a geared system.\u00a0 One of the key parameters is the estimated film thickness.\u00a0 This is not a trivial calculation, but one that has significant impact on overall performance of the gear pair.\u00a0 It is considered in performance issues such as scuffing, wear, and surface fatigue.\u00a0 This information sheet provides sufficient information about key lubricant parameters to enable the user to generate reasonable estimates about surface distress based on the collective knowledge available.<\/p>\n

\tBlok [1] published his contact temperature equation in 1937.\u00a0 It went relatively unnoticed in the U.S.\u00a0 until Kelley [2] showed that Blok\u2019s method gave good correlation with Kelley\u2019s experimental data.\u00a0 Blok\u2019s equation requires an accurate coefficient of friction.\u00a0 Kelley found it necessary to couple the coefficient of friction to surface roughness of the gear teeth.\u00a0 Kelley recognized the importance of load sharing by multiple pairs of teeth and gear tooth tip relief, but he did not offer equations to account for those variables.<\/p>\n

\tDudley [3] modified Kelley\u2019s equation by adding derating factors for application, misalignment and dynamics.\u00a0 He emphasized the need for research on effects of tip relief, and recommended applying Blok\u2019s method to helical gears.<\/p>\n

\tIn 1958, Kelley [4] changed his surface roughness term slightly.<\/p>\n

\tBenedict and Kelley [5] published their equation for variable coefficient of friction derived from disc tests.<\/p>\n

\tThe AGMA Aerospace Committee began investigating scuffing in 1960, and Lemanski [6] published results of a computer analysis that contains data for 90 spur and helical gearsets, and formed the terms for AGMA 217.01 [7], which was published in 1965.\u00a0 It used Dudley\u2019s modified Blok\/Kelley equation and included factors accounting for load sharing and tip relief.<\/p>\n

\tThe SCORING+ computer program [8] was released in 1985.\u00a0 It incorporated all advancements made by Blok, Kelley, Dudley and AGMA 217.01.\u00a0 In addition, it added several improvements including:<\/p>\n
