Program 60-050—External Gear Set
Introduction The primary purpose of this model is to provide a preliminary set of data and an estimate of the load capacity for an external gear set. If the gear set is not for critical service, the load capacity check using K factor and Unit Load may be all that is required. The model contains a table of approximate allowable K factors and Unit Loads for steel gears that may be adjusted for service factor, required life cycles and ratio. In addition, the size over pins or balls may be calculated for manufacturing inspection. The shape of the root fillet is that produced by a straight-sided rack. The dimensions of the rack may be entered to provide the actual tooth shape produced by a hob or rack type shaper cutter. A plot of the teeth of the gears in mesh at first point of contact, pitch point or last point of contact of the driver is available. A plot of the tooth/ball contact section between the gear and measuring ball is provided if desired. Gear Set “Standard” 20 deg PA This model will design a 20-degree normal pressure angle “standard” gear set after the user enters the number of teeth, normal pitch, helix angle, etc. The normal diametral pitch may be from 0.1 to 120. (254 mm to 0.21 mm metric module). The virtual number of teeth in a gear is equal to the actual number of teeth divided by the cube of the cosine of the helix angle. The virtual numbers of teeth are restricted to: Coarse Pitch Fine Pitch Minimum virtual total teeth in the set 28 29 Minimum virtual teeth in either gear 10 12 The “standard” basic rack dimensions are: Coarse Pitch Fine Pitch Addendum 1.25/NDP 1.20/NDP + 0.002 inch 1.25*Mod 1.20*Mod + 0.05 mm Tooth thick 0.5*pi/NDP 0.5*pi/NDP 0.5*pi*Mod 0.5*pi*Mod

If the driver or driven gear would be undercut using “standard” proportions or if the roll angle at the start of active profile (with a “standard” rack) would be less than 5 degrees, the model will add enough “high addendum” to eliminate the condition. The amount of “high addendum” added to the gears will be included in the center distance. The “Standard” normal backlash is recommended for gear sets where the gears and mounting have the same coefficient of thermal expansion and the gears do not attain a temperature excessively higher than the mounting. NOTE: The restrictions listed for a “Standard” gear set do not apply to the model in general but only to the wizard selection used for designing a “Standard” set. The model checks many conditions to be sure that the gear set will function as intended (except for gear load, which must be judged against the load table for the material and quality class to be used). The gear geometry caution conditions are listed in the following table: Summary: All geometry caution messages
The model checks a number of geometry parameters that may cause problems or may be of interest:
1. All Recess Action –all contact between teeth occurs past the operating pitch point of the set. This is a desirable condition if the sliding velocity is not too high at the end of action and the strength balance between the driver and driven is not compromised.
2. Approach Action Over 55% –there is more contact before the pitch point
than after the pitch point. This should be avoided as the teeth are approaching each other and the effective coefficient of friction is higher in approach than in recess action. More high addendum on the driver and/or low addendum on the driven will reduce approach action.

3. Total Contact Ratio Less Than 1.2 –a total contact ratio this low will
usually result in a gear set that is noisy and rough running. In spur gears, the highest point of single tooth load will be near the tooth tip. Very little room is available for the application of tip relief.
4. Contact Below Base Circle –the tooth tip of one or both of the gears is
attempting to contact the mating tooth below the base circle. Since there is no involute below the base circle, this condition will reduce the profile contact ratio and may cause interference in some gears.
5. Contact Ratio Less Than One –the gear set is not conjugate and is not
usable. The loaded tooth pair will drop the load before the next pair is in contact. The set may jam.
6. Teeth Entered Not Integer –you have entered a non-integer for the
number of teeth in one or both of the gears. 7. Negative Backlash Will Not Assemble –the total thickness of the gears
when assembled at the operating center distance is greater than the operating circular pitch. This will prevent assembly of the gears at the operating center distance.
8. Low Axial Contact Ratio –the face width is less than one axial pitch. The
tooth action is between a spur and helical gear set. All the disadvantages, but few of the advantages, of helical gears will be present.
9. Specific Sliding Over Three –the ratio of sliding to rolling velocity
between the contacting flanks is over 3. This condition can cause wear, scoring and noisy operation. High specific sliding is more detrimental at higher pitch line velocities. Specific sliding can usually be reduced by moving contact away from the base circle (center distance greater than “standard", high addendum, higher operating pressure angle).
10. Aspect Ratio Greater Than 2 –the aspect ratio is the face width divided by
the pinion pitch diameter. If the face is too large, it will not be possible to keep the entire face in contact due to misalignment of the teeth. This condition is more critical with high stiffness materials such as steel. This design MUST be checked using methods such as the AGMA analytical method for lead mismatch.

11. Top Land Width–(normal tooth thickness at outside diameter) is less than 0.275/Normal Diametral Pitch (or 0.275*Module). The tooth tip is quite pointed. If the gear is case hardened, the tooth tip may be over-hardened and brittle.
12. Contact Below TIF DIA –the tooth tip of one or both of the gears is
attempting to contact the mating tooth below the finished involute. Since there is no involute below the true involute form diameter (TIF), the profile contact ratio will be reduced and, if the cutting tool did not produce enough undercut in the root area, interference will result.
The load and speed caution conditions are given below: Summary: All load and speed caution messages
The model checks a number of load and speed parameters that may cause problems or may be of interest:
1. Aspect Ratio Too High –the aspect ratio is the min face width of the gears divided by the pinion pitch diameter. If the face is too large, it may not be possible to keep the entire face in contact because of misalignment of the teeth. This condition is more critical with high stiffness materials such as steel. The loading intensity due to the imposed tangential load may be too high at one end of the tooth because of the high aspect ratio. The K factor and Unit Load table for steel gears are not valid with this aspect ratio.
2. Pitch Line Velocity Too High –the pitch line velocity is higher than
recommended based on the AGMA Quality class of the gears. The maximum recommended velocity is 20000 feet/min (100 meters/sec) for helical gears and 10000 feet/min (50 meters/sec) for spur gears regardless of quality class. If higher speeds are necessary, a complete analysis of specific sliding and hot scoring is required.
3. Axial Meshing Velocity High –the axial velocity of the contact lines (and air
flow) between the gear teeth is greater than 100000 feet/min (500 meters/sec). You need a good lubrication system and a large case clearance. Check for thermal distortions of gears and case. (The axial meshing velocity can be reduced by increasing the helix angle.)
4. Axial Meshing Velocity Too High –the axial velocity of the contact lines (and
air flow) between the gear teeth is greater than 170000 feet/min (865 meters/sec). Thermal problems are assured. It is very difficult to run gears

with axial meshing velocity above Mach 2 with success. DO NOT USE. (The axial meshing velocity can be reduced by increasing the helix angle.)
In the model, both groups of messages are listed as comments in the TK Solver model. If the model finds that one or more of these conditions is present, they will display during solving, the number of caution messages will be noted on the Variable Sheet and the messages will be copied to the caution message table.

Examples
Example 1
Example 1 is a spur gear set with a 12-tooth pinion driving a 36-tooth gear. The normal diametral pitch is 10 and the normal pressure angle is 20 degrees. The housing and the gears have about the same coefficient of thermal expansion and the gears are not expected to run more than about 100 degrees F hotter than the housing; so we can use the backlash recommended by the model. The face width is 1 inch.
Since the number of teeth in the pinion and the total number of teeth in the mesh are within the limits of the “Standard” gear set, we can use the “Gear set standard” entry point in the data input form to quickly obtain a design. (The pressure angle must, of course, be 20 degrees.)
The completed data input form is shown in Figure 1A. We will overwrite the calculated default face width and will not enter load data at this point. The solved model is shown in Report 1A.

If we are happy with the gear set (we are), we can now enter the load and speed data into the data input form. At the same time, we will select measuring pins for both gears and enter them. For actual pin (or ball) diameter, toggle to the TK Solver model and open the Standard Pin table (std_pin) (for US Customary units) or Standard Pin Metric (std_pin_m) (for SI units) and choose the size that is approximately equal to or greater than the space pin diameter. To allow for proper measurement, the diameter over pins should be greater than the minimum outside diameter.
Enter the additional data by changing the “Select Entry Point” to “Normal entry”. (Don’t click the Enter key; if you do it will clear the other data.) Click the mouse pointer directly in the “AGMA quality number” in the “Loading Data” section of the form, enter 8, then click Enter. Follow the sequence from there to enter the remaining load data and pin diameters. We will not plot the mesh this time.

Note that the K factor is 250 psi and the Unit Load is 2290 psi for our gears. We will check the factor table for class Q8 spur gears to compare our gears with the allowable values.
To do this, go to the “Plot and Factor Table” tab of the data input form, click the radio button for “Refresh K and UL Factor Table”, then click the button labeled “Refresh Table Data”. Scroll down to the row for the appropriate AGMA Q number—in this case, 8. The table is shown in Figure 1D.
For the life and service factor listed, the allowable K factor is 270 and the allowable Unit Load is 6400 for carburized gears. (Carburized gears would be required at this load since the through hardened gears do not have the required allowable K factor.) The unit load for our gears is far under the allowable while the K factor is not. This indicates that the pitch is too coarse and we should have more teeth on the same diameter pinion.
Now we will have a look at the measuring ball (or pin) position in the tooth space. On the “Plot and Factor Table” tab, click the radio button for “Show Ball/Tooth Plot for”, then the button for “Driver”. The resulting plot is shown in Figure 1E.

Example 2 Example 2 is a high contact ratio spur gear set with a 40 tooth pinion driving a 120 tooth gear. The normal diametral pitch is 10 and the normal pressure angle is 17.5 degrees. The face width is 1.25 inches. Open the wizard and select “Normal Data Entry Sequence.” This time, select “Normal entry” for the “Select Entry Point”. Enter the gearset data as shown in the completed data input form, shown in Figure 2A. We will skip the load data and pin/ball diameters this time, but we will plot the gear mesh. It is shown in Figure 2B. Fig. 2A

Example 3 Example 3 is a 35-degree helical gear set with a 10-tooth pinion driving a 55-tooth gear. The normal diametral pitch is 10 and the normal pressure angle is 20 degrees. The number of teeth in the pinion and the total number of teeth in the mesh are within the limits of the “Standard” gear set, so we can use the “Gear set standard” choice in the “Select Entry Point” of the data input form to quickly obtain a design. We will use the backlash recommended by the model. We will set the face width to obtain a full helical gear set with a helical contact ratio a little over one (the wizard will give us this value). It may be necessary to change the face width later due to load but the combination of helix angle and face width should produce a helical contact ratio near an integer value. This will keep the change in contact line length nearly constant through the mesh. For now we will not enter load data. We want a plot of the gear teeth in mesh. We will plot the teeth in mesh at the first point of contact on the pinion (the driver) since that is likely to be the most critical point. (We can later plot the other mesh positions if we like.) The completed data input form is shown in Figure 3A. The solved model is shown in Report 3A. As the model is solved, we find that we have a warning message about specific sliding ratio. Close the message form for now. The mesh plot is shown in Figure 3B.

Even though the high specific sliding may cause problems unless the gears were lightly loaded and running slowly, we will ignore the problem and continue with the example. Change “Select Entry Point” to “Normal entry: and move to the bottom of the data input form to enter pin (or ball) diameters for measuring the tooth thickness. We will use the closest standard pin diameters to the pin diameters that would contact where the tooth equals the space. Again, we use the Standard Pin (std_pin) table, as explained in Example 1. The completed data input form is shown in Figure 3C. After solving, the results are shown in Report 3B.

Note that the section plotted is a transverse (plane of rotation) section through the contact point between the left tooth and the measuring ball. The diameter of the ball at the section plane is shown in dashed lines. The full diameter of the ball is shown in full line and is in front of the section plane. It can be seen that the ball projects above the outside diameter and is well above the root of the tooth (marked “R”). The actual contact point (between the dashed lines) is well above the true involute form diameter (marked “T”). The ball contacts a pair of adjacent teeth on a great circle of the ball which is normal to the ball helix angle. (The ball helix angle is the helix angle of the path of the ball center if allowed to roll in the tooth space.) Therefore, a pin of the same diameter may be substituted for the ball without altering the location of the ball or pin center from the center of the gear.
UTS Integrated Gear Software
54
Balls or pins can be used interchangeably on spur gears with odd or even teeth and on helical gears with even teeth if the balls are constrained to a single transverse plane in all cases. In the case of odd tooth helical gears, the pins will not stay in a transverse plane and will rock along the ball helix under the pressure of the measuring instrument until a minimum distance between them is reached. The model will compensate for the movement of the pins and the tilt of the measuring device so that two pins can be used for measuring odd tooth helicals. Note the difference in over ball and over pin measurements for the driven gear which is an odd tooth helical.
60-050—External Gear Set
55
Example 4
Example 4 is a 23 degree helical gear set with a 22 tooth pinion driving a 55 tooth gear. The normal diametral pitch is 36 and the normal pressure angle is 20 degrees.
Since the number of teeth in the pinion and the total number of teeth in the mesh are within the limits of the “Standard” gear set, we can use this selection in the Data Entry Wizard. We will use the backlash recommended by the model. We will set the face width to obtain a full helical gear set with a helical contact ratio a little over one.
After working with the gear set using “US/British” units, we will change the units to “SI” units.
Start a new analysis in 60-050 and make certain US units are selected. Select “Gear set standard” and enter other data as shown in Figure 4A. We will use the default face width and “standard” normal backlash. We will not enter load and speed data. We want a plot of the gear teeth in mesh at the pitch point. The solved model is shown in Report 4A.

Note that, with 22 teeth in the pinion, it was not necessary to use “high addendum” and extend the operating center distance above “standard."
Next we will find the size over pins for the tooth thickness of the gears. The closest standard pins to the equal tooth/space diameters is 0.048 inches. Enter these numbers directly into the data input form, as in Example 1. After solving, the measuring data should match Report 4B. (For this report we have selected only the input and output data that pertains to size over pins.)
