Gears — FZG test procedures — Part 2: FZG step load test A10/16, 6R/120 for relative scuffing load-carrying capacity of high EP oils

ISO 14635-2:2004 specifies a test method based on an FZG four-square test machine for determining the relative load-carrying capacity of high EP oils defined by the gear surface damage known as scuffing. The method is useful for evaluating the scuffing load capacity potential of oils typically used with highly stressed cylindrical gearing found in many vehicle and stationary applications. It is not suitable for establishing the scuffing load capacity potential of oils used in highly loaded hypoid bevel gearing applications, for which purpose other methods are available in the industry.

Engrenages — Méthodes d'essai FZG — Partie 2: Méthode FZG A10/16, 6R/120 à paliers de charge pour évaluer la capacité de charge au grippage des huiles à valeurs EP élevées

L'ISO 14635-2:2004 spécifie une méthode d'essai fondée sur une machine d'essai FZG à configuration quadrilatère ayant pour but de déterminer la capacité de charge relative d'huiles lubrifiantes pour valeurs EP élevées, définie par une détérioration superficielle de l'engrenage appelée grippage. Cette méthode d'essai est utile pour évaluer la capacité de charge potentielle au grippage des huiles utilisées pour des engrenages cylindriques soumis à de fortes contraintes qu'on trouve dans beaucoup d'applications mobiles ou stationnaires. Elle ne convient pas pour déterminer la capacité de charge potentielle au grippage des huiles utilisées dans des applications à engrenages coniques ou hypoïdes, pour lesquelles il existe au niveau industriel d'autres méthodes.

Introduction

The types of gear failures which can be influenced by the lubricant in use are scuffing, low-speed wear

and the gear-surface fatigue phenomena known as micro- and macropitting. In the gear design process,

these gear damages are taken into consideration by the use of specific lubricant and service-related

characteristic values. For an accurate, field-related selection of these values, adequate lubricant test

procedures are required. The FZG test procedures specified in this document and the other parts of

ISO 14635-1 and ISO 14635-3, can be regarded as tools for the determination of the lubricant-related

characteristic values to be introduced into the load-carrying capacity calculation of gears.

FZG test method A/8,3/90 for the relative scuffing load-carrying capacity of oils described in

ISO 14635-1 is typical for the majority of applications in industrial and marine gears. This document is

related to the relative scuffing load-carrying capacity of oils of very high EP properties, as used for the

lubrication of automotive driveline components. Other FZG test procedures for the determination of low-

speed wear, micro- and macropitting load-carrying capacity of gears are already in a late state of

development. They can intended to be added later to the ISO 14635 series as further parts.

This document specifies a test method based on a FZG four-square test machine to determine the relative

load-carrying capacity of high EP oils defined by the gear surface damage known as scuffing. This test

method is useful for evaluating the scuffing load capacity potential of oils typically used with highly

stressed cylindrical gearing found in many vehicle and stationary applications. It is not suitable for

scuffing

particularly severe form of gear tooth surface damage in which seizure or welding together of areas of

tooth surface occur, owing to the absence or breakdown of a lubricant film between the contacting tooth

flanks of mating gears, typically caused by high temperature and high pressure

Note 1 to entry: Scuffing is most likely when surface velocities are high. It can also occur at relatively low sliding

velocities when tooth surface pressures are high enough either generally or, because of uneven surface geometry

and loading, in discrete areas.
3.2
scuffing load-carrying capacity

〈of a lubricant〉 maximum load which can be sustained under a defined set of conditions

FZG test condition A10/16,6R/120

test condition where A10 is the particular tooth form of the test gears, according to Tables 2 and

3,Tables 2 and 3, 16,6 is the speed at the pitch circle, in metres per second, “R” indicates the reverse

direction of rotation (wheel drives pinion) and 120 is the initial oil temperature in degrees Celsius, from

load stage 4 onward in the oil sump
3.4
failure load stage

load stage reached when the sum of the damage to the 16 pinion teeth exceeds 100 mm in total area

damaged
Note 1 to entry: See Clause 4Clause 4 and Table 1.Table 1.
3.5
high EP oils

lubricants containing chemical additives appropriate for improving their scuffing load capacity

Note 1 to entry: EP = extreme pressure.

Note 2 to entry: These oils typically exceed the limits of the FZG test according to ISO 14635-1.

4 Failure criteria

Risk of scuffing damage varies with the properties of gear materials, the lubricant used, the surface

roughness of tooth flanks, the sliding velocities and the load. Consequences of scuffing include a tendency

to high levels of dynamic loading owing to an increase of vibrations, which usually leads to further

damage by scuffing, pitting or tooth breakage.

Because of the particular gear design and test loads used, an interference area typically results at the tip

of the pinion and root of the mating wheel. This area is usually about 1 mm in length (profile direction)

on the pinion and across the entire facewidth. Examples of various levels of distress occurring with this

test are shown in Annex A.Annex A. The effect of the surface distress in these two regions is addressed as

follows.

a) For the purpose of the visual rating for scuffing, the top 1 mm near the tip of the pinion is not included

in the assessment until the damage extends below that level. The rated damage region is then

expressed as the total area scuffed over all 16 pinion teeth (see Figure 1).Figure 1). The failure load

stage is reached when the sum of the damage to the 16 pinion teeth exceeds 100 mm in total area

damaged.

c)b) For a valid test, the wheel shall be visually checked for signs of excessive wear after each pass load

stage, as this couldcan alter the results of the test. If there is evidence of wear in the dedendum of the

wheel, then the gear shall be weighed to the nearest milligram (0,001 g) [see

Annex A, Figure A.1 d)].Annex A, Figure A.1 d)]. The test may be considered valid only if the loss in

mass of the wheel is ≤ 20 mg: if the loss in mass of the wheel exceeds 20 mg, the test shall not be

considered valid.

5 Brief description of method
5.1 General principle

A set of test gears as defined in Tables 2 and 3Tables 2 and 3 is run with the test lubricant at constant

speed for a fixed number of revolutions using dip-lubrication mode. Loading of the gear teeth is increased

in steps outlined in Table 4.Table 4. Beginning with load stage 4, the initial oil temperature is controlled

between 117 °C and 123 °C. During the test run of each load stage, the oil temperature is allowed to rise

freely. After load stage 5, the pinion tooth flanks are inspected for surface damage at the end of each load

stage and any changes in appearance are noted. A test is considered complete when either the failure

criteria have been met or when load stage 10 has been completed without having been metmeeting the

failure criteria having been met.

It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that all local legislative and statutory requirements are

met.

NOTE It has been assumed by the compilers of this test method that anyone using the method will either be

fully trained and familiar with all normal engineering and laboratory practice, or will be under the direct

supervision of such a person.

WARNING — — When the rig is running, there are long loaded shafts and highly stressed test

gears turning at high speed and precaution shall be taken to protect personnel.
Protection from noise is also highly recommended.

ISO/FDIS 14635-2:2023(E)
5.2 Precision

The precision of the method has been evaluated according to ISO 5725-2 with two reference oils. The

failure load stage of these oils covered the range 5 to 10 inclusive for the step load test.

Values of repeatability, r, and reproducibility, R, as defined in ISO 5725-2, for this test procedures are

r = 1 load stage,
R = 2 load stages.
6 Test materials
6.1 Test gears

A pair of type “A10” test gears with a specification according to Tables 2Tables 2 and 33 shall be used for

testing. Each pair of test gears may be used twice for testing, utilizingusing both tooth flanks as load-

carrying flanks.
6.2 Cleaning fluid
Petroleum spirit conforming to ASTM D 235 shall be used.
7 Apparatus
7.1 FZG spur-gear test rig

7.1.1 The FZG spur-gear test machine utilizes a recirculating power loop principle, also known as a

four-square configuration, to provide a fixed torque (load) to a pair of precision test gears. A schematic

view of the test rig is shown in Figures 2 and 3.Figures 2 and 3. The slave gearbox and the test gearbox

are connected through two torsional shafts. Shaft 1 contains a load coupling used to apply the torque

through the use of known weights, defined in Table 4,Table 4, hung on the loading arm.

7.1.2 The test gearbox contains heating elements to maintain and control the minimum temperature of

the oil. A temperature sensor located in the side of the test gearbox is used to control the heating system

as required by the test operating conditions.

7.1.3 The test machine is powered by an electric motor of minimum 7,4 kW at a speed of approximately

2 900 r/min. The direction of drive is reversed (anticlockwise when looking on the motor shaft), i.e. wheel

drives pinion, as shown in Figure 3.Figure 3. This is the opposite direction of rotation to that of

ISO 14635-1.

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14635-2:2004), of which it constitutes a

minor revision. The changes are as follows:

— ISO 1328-1:1995 has been dated as this document still refers to accuracy grade;

— replacement of ISO 4287 which has been withdrawn and replaced by ISO 21920-2;

— replacement of ISO 4964 which has been withdrawn and similar information can be found in

ISO 18265;

— replacement of some bibliography entries which were withdrawn, and changes from dated to

undated references;
— subclause 6.2, wording harmonized with the ISO 14635 series;

— Table 2, description "pitch diameter circumferential speed (v )" has been replaced by "circumferential

velocity at the pitch line" to harmonize the wording with the ISO 6336 series;

— Table 5, insertion of line "Test lubrication volume" to conform to the information in the ISO 14635

series;

Introduction

The types of gear failures which can be influenced by the lubricant in use are scuffing, low-speed wear

and the gear-surface fatigue phenomena known as micro- and macropitting. In the gear design process,

these gear damages are taken into consideration by the use of specific lubricant and service-related

characteristic values. For an accurate, field-related selection of these values, adequate lubricant test

procedures are required. The FZG test procedures specified in this document and ISO 14635-1 and

ISO 14635-3, can be regarded as tools for the determination of the lubricant-related characteristic

values to be introduced into the load-carrying capacity calculation of gears.

FZG test method A/8,3/90 for the relative scuffing load-carrying capacity of oils described in

ISO 14635-1 is typical for the majority of applications in industrial and marine gears. This document is

related to the relative scuffing load-carrying capacity of oils of very high EP properties, as used for the

lubrication of automotive driveline components. Other FZG test procedures for the determination of

low-speed wear, micro- and macropitting load-carrying capacity of gears are intended to be added to

the ISO 14635 series as further parts.

Gears — FZG test procedures —
Part 2:
FZG step load test A10/16, 6R/120 for relative scuffing
load-carrying capacity of high EP oils
1 Scope

This document specifies a test method based on a FZG four-square test machine to determine the

relative load-carrying capacity of high EP oils defined by the gear surface damage known as scuffing.

This test method is useful for evaluating the scuffing load capacity potential of oils typically used with

highly stressed cylindrical gearing found in many vehicle and stationary applications. It is not suitable

for establishing the scuffing load capacity potential of oils used in highly loaded hypoid bevel gearing
