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

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 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. This part of ISO 10300 is not applicable in the assessment of the so-called flank
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 εvα < 2. The results are valid
within the range of the applied factors as specified in ISO 10300‑1 (see also ISO 6336‑3[1]). 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 103 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 (βm1 + βm2)/2 > 45°, for effective pressure angles αe > 30° and/or for large face widths
b > 13 mmn, the calculated results of ISO 10300 (all parts) should be confirmed by experience.

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.

ISO 10300-3:2014(E)
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

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

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

tooth root stress σ . This part of ISO 10300 is not applicable in the assessment of the so-called flank

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.

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

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).

ISO 10300-3:2014(E)

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

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

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

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

vmt
with Formula (2) of ISO 10300-1:2014;

b is the face width of the virtual cylindrical gear calculated for the active flank, drive or coast

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

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

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

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);

Y is the load sharing factor, which accounts for load distribution between two or more pairs of

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

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.

on the tooth root strength (see 8.1);

operation (see 8.2).
6.3 Calculated safety factor

The evaluated tooth root stress, σ , shall be ≤σ , which is the permissible tooth root stress. The

calculated safety factor against tooth breakage shall be determined separately for pinion and wheel:

F-B1 F,min
F-B1

NOTE This is the calculated safety factor with respect to the transmitted torque.

Considerations in reference to the safety factors and the risk (probability) of failure are given in

ISO 10300-1:2014, 5.2.
6.4 Tooth root stress factors
6.4.1 Tooth form factor, Y
6.4.1.1 General

The tooth form factor, Y , accounts for the influence of the tooth form on the nominal tooth root stress

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.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 10300-3:2014(E)

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

the virtual cylindrical gear in normal section which includes the corresponding effective pressure angle

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

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

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

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

tooth root stress σ . This part of ISO 10300 is not applicable in the assessment of the so-called flank

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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);

Y is the load sharing factor, which accounts for load distribution between two or more pairs of

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

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.

Considerations in reference to the safety factors and the risk (probability) of failure are given in

ISO 10300-1:2014, 5.2.
6.4 Tooth root stress factors
6.4.1 Tooth form factor, Y
6.4.1.1 General

The tooth form factor, Y , accounts for the influence of the tooth form on the nominal tooth root stress

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

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 .

For the calculation of the tooth root chord, s , and the bending moment arm, h , firstly, the auxiliary

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

The parameter, E, is calculated for the magnitudes of the active flank. For generated hypoid gears,

the effective pressure angle α = α for the drive side and α = α (see ISO 23509) for the coast side,

respectively, are used in Formula (7). Note, the cutter edge radii ρ and ρ as well as the protuberance,

For the solution of the transcendent Formula (10), ϑ = π/6 may be inserted as the initial value. A suggested

value for the difference (ϑ – ϑ) is 0,000 001. In most cases, the calculation already converges after a

few iterations.
6.4.1.2.3 Tooth root chordal thickness, s
