Calculation of load capacity of bevel gears - Part 3: Calculation of tooth root strength

ISO 10300-3:2014 specifies the fundamental formulae for use in the tooth root stress calculation of straight and helical (skew), Zerol and spiral bevel gears including hypoid gears, with a minimum rim thickness under the root of 3,5 mmn. All load influences on tooth root stress are included, insofar as they are the result of load transmitted by the gearing and able to be evaluated quantitatively. Stresses, such as those caused by the shrink fitting of gear rims, which are superposed on stresses due to tooth loading, are intended to be considered in the calculation of the tooth root stress, σF, or the permissible tooth root stress σFP. ISO 10300-3:2014 is not applicable in the assessment of the so-called flank breakage, a tooth internal fatigue fracture (TIFF).
The formulae in ISO 10300-3:2014 are based on virtual cylindrical gears and restricted to bevel gears whose virtual cylindrical gears have transverse contact ratios of Ɛvα

Izračun nosilnosti stožčastih zobnikov - 3. del: Izračun nosilnosti zobnega korena

Ta del standarda ISO 10300 določa osnovne formule, ki se uporabljajo pri izračunu obremenitve zobnega korena ravnih, valjastih (poševnih) Zerol in spiralnih stožčastih zobnikov, vključno s hipoidnimi zobniki, z minimalno debelino venca pod korenom 3,5 mmn. Vključeni so vsi vplivi obremenitve na obremenitev zobnega korena, če so posledica obremenitve, prenesene z gonilom, in se lahko količinsko ocenijo. Obremenitve, kot so tiste, ki jih povzroči tolerančno vpenjanje zobatih vencev, superponiranih pri obremenitvah, povezanih z obremenitvijo zob, je treba upoštevati pri izračunu obremenitev zobnega korena, σF, ali dovoljene obremenitve zobnega korena σFP. Ta del standarda ISO 10300 se ne uporablja za oceno tako imenovane lomljivosti zobnih bokov oziroma lomljivosti notranje utrujenosti zoba (TIFF).
Formule v tem delu standarda ISO 10300 temeljijo na umišljenih valjastih zobnikih in so omejene na stožčaste zobnike z umišljenimi valjastimi zobniki s profilno stopnjo prekrivanja εvα < 2. Rezultati so veljavni znotraj obsega uporabljenih faktorjev iz standarda ISO 10300-1 (glej tudi ISO 6336-3[1]). Poleg tega se navedena razmerja uporabljajo za stožčaste zobnike, pri katerih je vsota koeficientov profilnega premika zobatega kolesca in kolesa nič (glej ISO 23509).
Ta del standarda ISO 10300 se ne uporablja za stopnje odpornosti, ki presegajo stopnje, dovoljene za 103 cikle, ker bi lahko obremenitve v tem obsegu presegle elastično omejitev zobnikovih zob. Opozorilo – Uporabnika opozarjamo, da naj bi se pri uporabi formul za velike povprečne srednje spiralne kote (βm1 + βm2)/2 > 45°, za kote efektivnega tlaka αe > 30° in/ali za veliko širino zoba b > 13 mmn izračunan rezultat ISO 10300 (vsi deli) potrdil z izkušnjami.

Introduction
When ISO 10300:2001 (all parts, withdrawn) became due for (its first) revision, the opportunity was
taken to include hypoid gears, since previously the series only allowed for calculating the load capacity
of bevel gears without offset axes. The former structure is retained, i.e. three parts of the ISO 10300
series, together with ISO 6336-5, and it is intended to establish general principles and procedures for
rating of bevel gears. Moreover, ISO 10300 (all parts) is designed to facilitate the application of future
knowledge and developments, as well as the exchange of information gained from experience.
In view of the decision for ISO 10300 (all parts) to cover hypoid gears also, it was agreed to include a
separate clause: “Gear tooth rating formulae — Method B2” in this part of ISO 10300, while the former
methods B and B1 were combined into one method, i.e. method B1. So, it became necessary to present
a new, clearer structure of the three parts, which is illustrated in ISO 10300-1:2014, Figure 1. Note,
ISO 10300 (all parts) gives no preferences in terms of when to use method B1 and when method B2.
Failure of gear teeth by breakage can be brought about in many ways; severe instantaneous overloads,
excessive pitting, case crushing and bending fatigue are a few. The strength ratings determined by the
formulae in this part of ISO 10300 are based on cantilever projection theory modified to consider the
following:
— compressive stress at the tooth roots caused by the radial component of the tooth load;
— non-uniform moment distribution of the load, resulting from the inclined contact lines on the teeth
of spiral bevel gears;
— stress concentration at the tooth root fillet;
— load sharing between adjacent contacting teeth;
— lack of smoothness due to a low contact ratio.
The formulae are used to determine a load rating, which prevents tooth root fracture during the design
life of the bevel gear. Nevertheless, if there is insufficient material under the teeth (in the rim), a fracture
can occur from the root through the rim of the gear blank or to the bore (a type of failure not covered
by this part of ISO 10300). Moreover, it is possible that special applications require additional blank
material to support the load.
Surface distress (pitting or wear) can limit the strength rating, either due to stress concentration
around large sharp cornered pits, or due to wear steps on the tooth surface. Neither of these effects is
considered in this part of ISO 10300.
In most cases, the maximum tensile stress at the tooth root (arising from bending at the root when the
load is applied to the tooth flank) can be used as a determinant criterion for the assessment of the tooth
root strength. If the permissible stress number is exceeded, the teeth can break.
When calculating the tooth root stresses of straight bevel gears, this part of ISO 10300 starts from the
assumption that the load is applied at the tooth tip of the virtual cylindrical gear. The load is subsequently
converted to the outer point of single tooth contact. The procedure thus corresponds to method C for the
[1]
tooth root stress of cylindrical gears (see ISO 6336-3 ).
For spiral bevel and hypoid gears with a high face contact ratio of ε > 1 (method B1) or with a modified

contact ratio of ε > 2 (method B2), the midpoint in the zone of action is regarded as the critical point

of load application.
The breakage of a tooth generally means the end of a gear’s life. It is often the case that all gear teeth are
destroyed as a consequence of the breakage of a single tooth. A safety factor, S , against tooth breakage
F
higher than the safety factor against damage due to pitting is, therefore, generally to be preferred
(see ISO 10300-1).
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10300-3:2014(E)
Calculation of load capacity of bevel gears —
Part 3:
Calculation of tooth root strength
1 Scope
This part of ISO 10300 specifies the fundamental formulae for use in the tooth root stress calculation
of straight and helical (skew), Zerol and spiral bevel gears including hypoid gears, with a minimum rim
thickness under the root of 3,5 m . All load influences on tooth root stress are included, insofar as
mn
they are the result of load transmitted by the gearing and able to be evaluated quantitatively. Stresses,
such as those caused by the shrink fitting of gear rims, which are superposed on stresses due to tooth
loading, are intended to be considered in the calculation of the tooth root stress, σ , or the permissible
F
tooth root stress σ . This part of ISO 10300 is not applicable in the assessment of the so-called flank
FP
breakage, a tooth internal fatigue fracture (TIFF).
The formulae in this part of ISO 10300 are based on virtual cylindrical gears and restricted to bevel
gears whose virtual cylindrical gears have transverse contact ratios of ε < 2. The results are valid

[1]
within the range of the applied factors as specified in ISO 10300-1 (see also ISO 6336-3 ). Additionally,
the given relationships are valid for bevel gears, of which the sum of profile shift coefficients of pinion
and wheel is zero (see ISO 23509).
This part of ISO 10300 does not apply to stress levels above those permitted for 10 cycles, as stresses
in that range could exceed the elastic limit of the gear tooth.
Warning — The user is cautioned that when the formulae are used for large average mean spiral
angles (β + β )/2 > 45°, for effective pressure angles α > 30° and/or for large face widths
m1 m2 e
b > 13 m , the calculated results of ISO 10300 (all parts) should be confirmed by experience.

For the purposes of this document, the symbols and units given in Table 1 and Table 2 of ISO 10300-1:2014,
as well as the abbreviated terms given in Table 1 of ISO 10300-2:2014, apply (see ISO 6336-5).
5 General rating procedure
There are two main methods for determining tooth bending strength of bevel and hypoid gears:
method B1 and method B2. They are provided in Clauses 6 and 7, while Clause 8 contains those influence
factors which are equal for both methods. With method B1, the same set of formulae may be used for
bevel and hypoid gears; method B2 partly has different sets of formulae for bevel gears and for hypoid
gears (see 7.4.3 for general aspects).
With both methods, the capability of a gear tooth to resist tooth root stresses shall be determined by the
comparison of the following stress values:
— tooth root stress σ , based on the geometry of the tooth, the accuracy of its manufacture, the
F
rigidity of the gear blanks, bearings and housing, and the operating torque, expressed by the tooth
root stress formula (see 6.1 and 7.1);
— permissible tooth root stress σ , based on the bending stress number, σ , of a standard test
FP F,lim
gear and the effect of the operating conditions under which the gears operate, expressed by the
permissible tooth root stress formula (see 6.2 and 7.2).

NOTE In respect of the permissible tooth root stress, reference is made to a stress “number”, a designation
adopted because pure stress, as determined by laboratory testing, is not calculated by the formulae in this part
of ISO 10300. Instead, an arbitrary value is calculated and used in this part of ISO 10300, with accompanying
changes to the allowable stress number in order to maintain consistency for design comparison.
The ratio of the permissible root stress and the calculated root stress is the safety factor S . The value of
F
the minimum safety factor for tooth root stress, S , should be ≥ 1,3 for spiral bevel gears. For straight
F,min
bevel gears, or where β ≤ 5°, S should be ≥ 1,5.
m F,min
It is recommended that the gear designer and customer agree on the value of the minimum safety factor.
Tooth breakage usually ends transmission service life. The destruction of all gears in a transmission can
be a consequence of the breakage of one tooth, then, the drive train between input and output shafts
is interrupted. Therefore, the chosen value of the safety factor, S , against tooth breakage should be
F
carefully chosen to fulfil the application requirements (see ISO 10300-1 for general comments on the
choice of safety factor).
6 Gear tooth rating formulae — Method B1
6.1 Tooth root stress formula
The calculation of the tooth root stress is based on the maximum bending stress at the tooth root. It is
determined separately for pinion (suffix 1) and wheel (suffix 2); in the case of hypoid gears, additionally
for drive flank (suffix D) and coast flank (suffix C):

where

b is the face width of the virtual cylindrical gear calculated for the active flank, drive or coast
v
side, as specified in ISO 10300-1:2014, Annex A;
Y is the tooth form factor (see 6.4.1), which accounts for the influence of the tooth form on the
Fa
nominal bending stress at the tooth root for load application at the tooth tip;
Y is the stress correction factor (see 6.4.2), which accounts for the stress increasing notch
Sa
effect in the root fillet, as well as for the radial component of the tooth load and the fact that
the stress condition in the critical root section is complex, but not for the influence of the
bending moment arm;
Y is the contact ratio factor (see 6.4.3), which accounts for the conversion of the root stress
ε
determined for the load application at the tooth tip to the determinant position;
Y is the bevel spiral angle factor, which accounts for smaller values for l compared to the
BS bm
total face width, b , and the inclined lines of contact (see 6.4.4);
v
Y is the load sharing factor, which accounts for load distribution between two or more pairs of
LS
teeth (see 6.4.5).
The determinant position of load application is:
a) the outer point of single tooth contact, if ε = 0;

b) the midpoint of the zone of action, if ε ≥ 1;

c) interpolation between a) and b), if 0 < ε < 1.

6.2 Permissible tooth root stress
The permissible tooth root stress, σ , shall be calculated separately for pinion and wheel. The values
FP
should preferably be evaluated on the basis of the strength of a standard test gear instead of a prismatic
specimen, which deviates too much with respect to similarity in geometry, course of movement and
manufacture.

6.4 Tooth root stress factors
6.4.1 Tooth form factor, Y
Fa
6.4.1.1 General
The tooth form factor, Y , accounts for the influence of the tooth form on the nominal tooth root stress
Fa
in the case of load application at the tooth tip. It is determined separately for pinion and wheel. In doing
so, the possibility to manufacture bevel and hypoid gears with different pressure angles at drive and
coast side shall be considered (see Figure 1).
In the case of gears with tip and root relief, the actual bending moment arm is slightly smaller, but this
should be neglected and the calculation is on the safe side.
Bevel gears without offset generally have octoid teeth and tip and root relief. However, deviations from
an involute profile are small, especially in view of the tooth root cord and bending moment arm, and
thus both, tip and root relief, may be neglected when calculating the tooth form factor.
The distance between the contact points of the 30° tangents at the root fillets of the tooth profile of the
virtual cylindrical gear is taken as the critical section for calculation (see Figure 1).
By method B1 of ISO 10300, the tooth form factor, Y , and stress correction factor, Y , are determined
Fa Sa
for the nominal gear without deviations. The slight reduction in tooth thickness for backlash between
teeth may be neglected for the load capacity calculation. However, the size reduction shall be taken into
account when the outer tooth thickness allowance A > 0,05 m .

directly be determined (see Figure 2).

6.4.4 Bevel spiral angle factor, Y
BS
The bevel spiral angle factor, Y , accounts for the non-uniform distribution of the tooth root stress

along the face width. The stress distribution depends on the inclination of the contact lines due to the
spiral angle. With an increasing spiral angle the inclination angle also increases till the contact lines are
limited by tip and root of the teeth. Thus, the face width is not completely used to carry the load. This
leads to a higher stress maximum in the tooth root in the middle of the face width (see Figure 3), where
a tooth developed into a plane is replaced by a cantilever beam.

δ,relT-B1
The dynamic notch sensitivity factor, Y , indicates the amount by which the theoretical stress peak

exceeds the permissible stress number in the case of fatigue breakage. It is a function of the material and
relative stress drop. It is possible to calculate the notch sensitivity factor on the basis of strength values
determined at un-notched or notched specimens, or at test gears. If more exact test results (method A)
are not available, method B described in 6.5.2 shall be used.
The calculation of permissible tooth root stresses of bevel gears is based on bending strength values
determined for both, bevel and cylindrical test gears. Therefore, the relative notch sensitivity factor,
Y , is the ratio between the sensitivity factor of the gear to be calculated and the sensitivity factor of

Introduction
When ISO 10300:2001 (all parts, withdrawn) became due for (its first) revision, the opportunity was
taken to include hypoid gears, since previously the series only allowed for calculating the load capacity
of bevel gears without offset axes. The former structure is retained, i.e. three parts of the ISO 10300
series, together with ISO 6336-5, and it is intended to establish general principles and procedures for
rating of bevel gears. Moreover, ISO 10300 (all parts) is designed to facilitate the application of future
knowledge and developments, as well as the exchange of information gained from experience.
In view of the decision for ISO 10300 (all parts) to cover hypoid gears also, it was agreed to include a
separate clause: “Gear tooth rating formulae — Method B2” in this part of ISO 10300, while the former
methods B and B1 were combined into one method, i.e. method B1. So, it became necessary to present
a new, clearer structure of the three parts, which is illustrated in ISO 10300-1:2014, Figure 1. Note,
ISO 10300 (all parts) gives no preferences in terms of when to use method B1 and when method B2.
Failure of gear teeth by breakage can be brought about in many ways; severe instantaneous overloads,
excessive pitting, case crushing and bending fatigue are a few. The strength ratings determined by the
formulae in this part of ISO 10300 are based on cantilever projection theory modified to consider the
following:
— compressive stress at the tooth roots caused by the radial component of the tooth load;
— non-uniform moment distribution of the load, resulting from the inclined contact lines on the teeth
of spiral bevel gears;
— stress concentration at the tooth root fillet;
— load sharing between adjacent contacting teeth;
— lack of smoothness due to a low contact ratio.
The formulae are used to determine a load rating, which prevents tooth root fracture during the design
life of the bevel gear. Nevertheless, if there is insufficient material under the teeth (in the rim), a fracture
can occur from the root through the rim of the gear blank or to the bore (a type of failure not covered
by this part of ISO 10300). Moreover, it is possible that special applications require additional blank
material to support the load.
Surface distress (pitting or wear) can limit the strength rating, either due to stress concentration
around large sharp cornered pits, or due to wear steps on the tooth surface. Neither of these effects is
considered in this part of ISO 10300.
In most cases, the maximum tensile stress at the tooth root (arising from bending at the root when the
load is applied to the tooth flank) can be used as a determinant criterion for the assessment of the tooth
root strength. If the permissible stress number is exceeded, the teeth can break.
When calculating the tooth root stresses of straight bevel gears, this part of ISO 10300 starts from the
assumption that the load is applied at the tooth tip of the virtual cylindrical gear. The load is subsequently
converted to the outer point of single tooth contact. The procedure thus corresponds to method C for the
[1]
tooth root stress of cylindrical gears (see ISO 6336-3 ).
For spiral bevel and hypoid gears with a high face contact ratio of ε > 1 (method B1) or with a modified

contact ratio of ε > 2 (method B2), the midpoint in the zone of action is regarded as the critical point

of load application.
The breakage of a tooth generally means the end of a gear’s life. It is often the case that all gear teeth are
destroyed as a consequence of the breakage of a single tooth. A safety factor, S , against tooth breakage
F
higher than the safety factor against damage due to pitting is, therefore, generally to be preferred
(see ISO 10300-1).
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10300-3:2014(E)
Calculation of load capacity of bevel gears —
Part 3:
Calculation of tooth root strength
1 Scope
This part of ISO 10300 specifies the fundamental formulae for use in the tooth root stress calculation
of straight and helical (skew), Zerol and spiral bevel gears including hypoid gears, with a minimum rim
thickness under the root of 3,5 m . All load influences on tooth root stress are included, insofar as
mn
they are the result of load transmitted by the gearing and able to be evaluated quantitatively. Stresses,
such as those caused by the shrink fitting of gear rims, which are superposed on stresses due to tooth
loading, are intended to be considered in the calculation of the tooth root stress, σ , or the permissible
F
tooth root stress σ . This part of ISO 10300 is not applicable in the assessment of the so-called flank
FP
breakage, a tooth internal fatigue fracture (TIFF).
The formulae in this part of ISO 10300 are based on virtual cylindrical gears and restricted to bevel
gears whose virtual cylindrical gears have transverse contact ratios of ε < 2. The results are valid

[1]
within the range of the applied factors as specified in ISO 10300-1 (see also ISO 6336-3 ). Additionally,
the given relationships are valid for bevel gears, of which the sum of profile shift coefficients of pinion
and wheel is zero (see ISO 23509).
This part of ISO 10300 does not apply to stress levels above those permitted for 10 cycles, as stresses
in that range could exceed the elastic limit of the gear tooth.
Warning — The user is cautioned that when the formulae are used for large average mean spiral
angles (β + β )/2 > 45°, for effective pressure angles α > 30° and/or for large face widths
m1 m2 e
b > 13 m , the calculated results of ISO 10300 (all parts) should be confirmed by experience.

4 Symbols, units and abbreviated terms
For the purposes of this document, the symbols and units given in Table 1 and Table 2 of ISO 10300-1:2014,
as well as the abbreviated terms given in Table 1 of ISO 10300-2:2014, apply (see ISO 6336-5).
5 General rating procedure
There are two main methods for determining tooth bending strength of bevel and hypoid gears:
method B1 and method B2. They are provided in Clauses 6 and 7, while Clause 8 contains those influence
factors which are equal for both methods. With method B1, the same set of formulae may be used for
bevel and hypoid gears; method B2 partly has different sets of formulae for bevel gears and for hypoid
gears (see 7.4.3 for general aspects).
With both methods, the capability of a gear tooth to resist tooth root stresses shall be determined by the
comparison of the following stress values:
— tooth root stress σ , based on the geometry of the tooth, the accuracy of its manufacture, the
F
rigidity of the gear blanks, bearings and housing, and the operating torque, expressed by the tooth
root stress formula (see 6.1 and 7.1);
— permissible tooth root stress σ , based on the bending stress number, σ , of a standard test
FP F,lim
gear and the effect of the operating conditions under which the gears operate, expressed by the
permissible tooth root stress formula (see 6.2 and 7.2).

NOTE In respect of the permissible tooth root stress, reference is made to a stress “number”, a designation
adopted because pure stress, as determined by laboratory testing, is not calculated by the formulae in this part
of ISO 10300. Instead, an arbitrary value is calculated and used in this part of ISO 10300, with accompanying
changes to the allowable stress number in order to maintain consistency for design comparison.
The ratio of the permissible root stress and the calculated root stress is the safety factor S . The value of
F
the minimum safety factor for tooth root stress, S , should be ≥ 1,3 for spiral bevel gears. For straight
F,min
bevel gears, or where β ≤ 5°, S should be ≥ 1,5.
m F,min
It is recommended that the gear designer and customer agree on the value of the minimum safety factor.
Tooth breakage usually ends transmission service life. The destruction of all gears in a transmission can
be a consequence of the breakage of one tooth, then, the drive train between input and output shafts
is interrupted. Therefore, the chosen value of the safety factor, S , against tooth breakage should be
F
carefully chosen to fulfil the application requirements (see ISO 10300-1 for general comments on the
choice of safety factor).
6 Gear tooth rating formulae — Method B1
6.1 Tooth root stress formula
The calculation of the tooth root stress is based on the maximum bending stress at the tooth root. It is
determined separately for pinion (suffix 1) and wheel (suffix 2); in the case of hypoid gears, additionally
for drive flank (suffix D) and coast flank (suffix C):
σσ= F-B1 F0-B1A v Fβα F FP-B1
with the load factors K , K , K , K as specified in ISO 10300-1.

to the root fillet):

where
F is the nominal tangential force of the virtual cylindrical gear which should be in accordance

b is the face width of the virtual cylindrical gear calculated for the active flank, drive or coast
v
side, as specified in ISO 10300-1:2014, Annex A;
Y is the tooth form factor (see 6.4.1), which accounts for the influence of the tooth form on the
Fa
nominal bending stress at the tooth root for load application at the tooth tip;
Y is the stress correction factor (see 6.4.2), which accounts for the stress increasing notch
Sa
effect in the root fillet, as well as for the radial component of the tooth load and the fact that
the stress condition in the critical root section is complex, but not for the influence of the
bending moment arm;
Y is the contact ratio factor (see 6.4.3), which accounts for the conversion of the root stress
ε
determined for the load application at the tooth tip to the determinant position;
Y is the bevel spiral angle factor, which accounts for smaller values for l compared to the
BS bm
total face width, b , and the inclined lines of contact (see 6.4.4);
v
Y is the load sharing factor, which accounts for load distribution between two or more pairs of
LS
teeth (see 6.4.5).
The determinant position of load application is:
a) the outer point of single tooth contact, if ε = 0;

b) the midpoint of the zone of action, if ε ≥ 1;

c) interpolation between a) and b), if 0 < ε < 1.

6.2 Permissible tooth root stress
The permissible tooth root stress, σ , shall be calculated separately for pinion and wheel. The values
FP
should preferably be evaluated on the basis of the strength of a standard test gear instead of a prismatic
specimen, which deviates too much with respect to similarity in geometry, course of movement and
manufacture.

6.4 Tooth root stress factors
6.4.1 Tooth form factor, Y
Fa
6.4.1.1 General
The tooth form factor, Y , accounts for the influence of the tooth form on the nominal tooth root stress
Fa
in the case of load application at the tooth tip. It is determined separately for pinion and wheel. In doing
so, the possibility to manufacture bevel and hypoid gears with different pressure angles at drive and
coast side shall be considered (see Figure 1).
In the case of gears with tip and root relief, the actual bending moment arm is slightly smaller, but this
should be neglected and the calculation is on the safe side.
Bevel gears without offset generally have octoid teeth and tip and root relief. However, deviations from
an involute profile are small, especially in view of the tooth root cord and bending moment arm, and
thus both, tip and root relief, may be neglected when calculating the tooth form factor.
The distance between the contact points of the 30° tangents at the root fillets of the tooth profile of the
virtual cylindrical gear is taken as the critical section for calculation (see Figure 1).
By method B1 of ISO 10300, the tooth form factor, Y , and stress correction factor, Y , are determined
Fa Sa
for the nominal gear without deviations. The slight reduction in tooth thickness for backlash between
teeth may be neglected for the load capacity calculation. However, the size reduction shall be taken into
account when the outer tooth thickness allowance A > 0,05 m .

The tooth form factor, Y , of generated bevel gears is calculated with parameters of the active flank of

α or α (see Annex A of ISO 10300-1:2014). However, the direction of the normal force, F , in relation

quantities E, G, H and ϑ shall be determined.

6.4.1.3 Tooth form factor for non-generated gears
The tooth form factor, Y , for non-generated bevel gears should be considered separately. In this case of
Fa
form cutting the slot profile of the wheel is identical to the tool profile and so the tooth form factor can
directly be determined (see Figure 2).
The tooth form factor of the pinion, which is manufactured by a specific generating process, may be
approximated by the formulae according to 6.4.1.2. Hypoid gears are calculated with geometry data for
drive side and coast side.

6.4.4 Bevel spiral angle factor, Y
BS
The bevel spiral angle factor, Y , accounts for the non-uniform distribution of the tooth root stress
BS
along the face width. The stress distribution depends on the inclination of the contact lines due to the
spiral angle. With an increasing spiral angle the inclination angle also increases till the contact lines are
limited by tip and root of the teeth. Thus, the face width is not completely used to carry the load. This
leads to a higher stress maximum in the tooth root in the middle of the face width (see Figure 3), where
a tooth developed into a plane is replaced by a cantilever beam.

R,relT
[1]
gear conditions with Rz = 10 µm (see ISO 6336-3 for general remarks) and is determined separately
for pinion (suffix 1) and wheel (suffix 2). If no surface condition factors determined according to method
A are available, method B described in 6.5.1 shall be used.
Warning — This method is only valid if there are no scratches or similar defects deeper than 2 Rz.
The relative surface condition factor, Y , determined by tests with test specimens, may be taken

6.5.2 Relative notch sensitivity factor, Y
δ,relT-B1
The dynamic notch sensitivity factor, Y , indicates the amount by which the theoretical stress peak
δ
exceeds the permissible stress number in the case of fatigue breakage. It is a function of the material and
relative stress drop. It is possible to calculate the notch sensitivity factor on the basis of strength values
determined at un-notched or notched specimens, or at test gears. If more exact test results (method A)
are not available, method B described in 6.5.2 shall be used.
The calculation of permissible tooth root stresses of bevel gears is based on bending strength values
determined for both, bevel and cylindrical test gears. Therefore, the relative notch sensitivity factor,
Y , is the ratio between the sensitivity factor of the gear to be calculated and the sensitivity factor of

Y is the root stress adjustment factor for method B2 (see 7.4.7);

Y is the bending strength geometry factor for method B2 (see 7.4.3).
J
The bending strength geometry factor, Y , evaluates the shape of the tooth, the position at which the
J
most damaging load is applied, the stress concentration due to the geometric shape of the root fillet,
the sharing of load between adjacent pairs of teeth, the tooth thickness balance between the wheel and
mating pinion, the effective face width due to lengthwise crowning of the teeth, and the buttressing
effect of an extended face width on one member of the pair. Both the tangential (bending) and radial
(compressive) components of the tooth load are included.
7.2 Permissible tooth root stress
The permissible tooth root stress, σ , is determined separately for pinion and wheel. It should be
FP
calculated on the basis of the strength determined at an actual gear. In this way, the reference value for
geometrical similarity, course of movement and manufacture lies within the field of application:

7.3 Calculated safety factor
The determined tooth root stress, σ , shall be ≤σ , which is the permissible tooth root stress. The

7.4 Tooth root stress factors
7.4.1 General
To calculate the bending strength geometry factor, Y , the formulae in 7.4.3 should be used. Because of
J
the complexity of the calculation, computerization is recommended.
[3]
ANSI/AGMA 2003-C10 contains graphs for the bevel geometry factor, Y , for straight, Zerol and spiral
J
bevel gears for a series of gear designs, based on the smaller of the face width to be chosen b = 0,3R or
e
[4]
b = 10m . Corresponding graphs for hypoid gears can be found in AGMA 932-A05. These may be used
et
whenever the tooth proportions and thickness, face widths, tool edge radii, pressure and spiral angles
of the design, and driving with the concave side, correspond to those in the graphs.

7.4.2 Stress parabola according to Lewis
The basis for method B2 is the Lewis formula applied to a virtual cylindrical gear, which has been
defined in transverse section as specified in Annex B of ISO 10300-1:2014, with the following additions
and modifications:
— the tooth strength is considered in the normal section rather than in the transverse section;
— the position of the point of load application is determined by taking into account theoretical lines of
contact, tooth bearing modifications and experimental evidence;
— the amount of load carried by one tooth is estimated based on tooth bearing modification and
contact ratio;
— the radial component of the normal load is considered;
— a stress concentration factor based on experimental data are applied;
— the concept of effective face width is used.
Bending stress shall be calculated assuming the tooth shaped beam is simulated by a parabola tangent
to the tooth profile at the most highly stressed section. Figure 6 shows a layout for the cases of: a) no
load sharing and b) load sharing.
7.4.3 Basic formula of geometry factor, Y
J
The parameters for calculating the geometry factor, Y are the same for bevel and hypoid gears. However,
J
the calculation procedures are different. See 7.4.4 for bevel gears without hypoid offset or 7.4.5 for
hypoid gears.
