This standard was revised to include the latest data available using current gear technology and includes operational experience. Also, this revision conforms to the American Gear ‘Manufacturers Association style manual. This standard is written in conventional units while the parallel standard, ANS/AGMA 6110-F97, is available in hard metric. The allowable stress numbers used in this standard are derived from ANSYAGMA 2001-C95 and ANSVAGMA 2003-A86, and along with other rating factors, provide a rating basis for enclosed gear reducers and increasers. The rating formulas are based on many years of experience in the design and application of enclosed gear drives for industrial use. ‘The allowable stress numbers used by this standard are adjusted by the factors 2y and Yay {or the required number of cycles of operation. In previous versions of this standard, a C, and Kz value of unity has been allowed. Deviations from ANSVAGMA 2001-C95 or ANSI/AGMA 2003-A86 are not recommended unless they can be justified. The use of the stress cycle adjustment factor does not guarantee that a certain number of hours or revolutions of ite wil be obtained, but is a method of approximating gear life under different load and speed conditions. “The most significant changes in this standard include: information on obtaining ratings by direct reference to the empirical methods in ANSYAGMA 2001-C95 and ANSVAGMA 2003-A86; references to the necessary additional standards; a uniform selection method by specifying a nominal L life for the gearing of 10 000 hours; and a refinement of the thermal rating practice. ‘The competence to design enclosed gear drives, especially the knowledge and judgment required to properly evaluate the various rating factors, comes primatily from years of experience in designing, testing, manufacturing and operating similar gear drives. The proper application of the general rating formulas for enclosed gear drives is best accomplished by those experienced in the field. ‘There Is a need for a thorough knowledge and use of the safety, service and application factors. Application factors will represent actual loadings or will be replaced by a load spectrum analysis such as Miner's Rule. Work was started on this draft in December1991. This version was approved by the AGMA. membership in June 1997. It was approved as an American National Standard on October 2, 1997. ‘Suggestions for improvement ofthis standard will be welcome.

Application limitations In this standard, the unit rating is defined as the mechanical capacity of the gear unit components determined with a unity service factor. Units rated to this standard can accommodate the following peak load conditions: = Each peak shall not exceed 200 percent of the unit rating (service factor, Ky = 1.0); - Allimited number of stress cycles, typically less than 10%, For applications exceeding these conditions an appropriate service factor should be selected. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD WARNING: For momentary torques in excess of 200%, stall conditions and low number af stress cycles, the gear drive should be evaluated to assure the user ot this standard that these conditions do not exceed the yield strength of any component. Some applications may require selecting a gear drive with increased mechanical rating in order to accommodate adverse effects of environmental conditions, thermal capacity of the unit, extemal loading or any combination of these factors such as ‘overhung, transverse and thrust loads. 3.2 Rating factors The allowable stress numbers taken from ANSI’ AGMA 2001-C95 and ANSVAGMA 2003-A86 are maximum allowed values. Some latitude based upon experience is permissible in the selection of specific factors within this standard. Less conserva- tive values for rating factors in this standard shall not be used. Ratings shall be as outlined in clauses 4 and 5. 3.3 Cold temperature operation Ifunits are to be operated below -20°F, care must be given to select materials which have adequate impact properties at the operating temperature. Consideration should be given to: = low — temperature impact strength specification; fracture appearance transition or nil ductility temperature specification for impact testing; = reduce carbon content to less than 0.4 percent; = use of higher nickel alloy steels; ~ lubricant problems. 3.4 System analysis The system of connected rotating parts must be compatible, free from critical speeds, torsional or ‘other types of vibration, within the specified operat- ing speed range no matter how induced. The enclosed gear drive designer or manufacturer is not responsible for this analysis, unless agreed to inthe purchase contract. 4 Unit rating Historically, many terms have been used to denote conditions of operations - both calculated and ANSWAGMA 6010-FS7 actual. These terms have resutted in contusion as to the actual capability ofthe enclosed drive. Examples of terms previously used to denote some form of enclosed drive capacity are listed below: service rating; ~ nameplate rating; = equivalent rating; ~ catalog rating: = mechanical ratir = brake rating; = unity rating; transmitted horsepower, - calculated horsepower; ~ allowable horsepower, ~ application horsepower. For purposes of this standard, where component capacities are being determined, the calculations ate specifically related to the unit rating as defined below. 4.4 Unit rating definition ‘The unit rating is the overall mechanical power rating of all static and rotating elements within the enclosed drive. The minimum rated component (weakest ink, whether determined by gear teeth, shafts, bolting, housing, etc.) of the enclosed drive determines the unit rating. 42 Unit rating requirements ‘The unit rating implies that all items within the gear drive have been designed to meet or exceed the unit rating. Gear and pinion ratings are to be in accordance with the bending strength and pitting resistance ratings as outlined in this standard. Shaft stresses, key stresses and fastener stresses are tobe within he limits set by this standard, Rolling ‘jerment bearing or sleeve bearing designs are to be within limits set by ANSVAGNA 6001-D97. Where user requirements or specifications dictate different design criteria, such as higher bearing life, this must be by contractual agreement, Unit ratings may also inciude allowable overhung load values which are usually designated to act at a distance of one shaft diameter from the face of the housing or enclosure component. Stresses in related parts resulting from these overhung loads must also be within limits set by this standard. Refer to clause 7 for further information. ANSVAGMA 6010-F97 43 Application of unit rating ‘The required unit rating of an enclosed drive is a function of the application and assessment of variable factors that affect the overall rating. These factors include environmental conditions, severity of service and life. Refer to clause 8 for further explanation. ‘The application of the enclosed drive requires that its capacity as defined by its unit rating; ie., its minimum rated component power, Prac, be related to the actual service conditions. Pre Py s Re (1) Ky where is the application power of enclosed drive, hp; Pre isthe minimum component power rating, hp; Ky__is the service factor. For cases where the gear mesh has been deter- mined to be the minimum rated component, the lesser of Pye Of Pai, a8 defined in this standard, becomes Pre in equation 1 (see 5.1 and 5.2). 4A Momentary overloads ‘When the enclosed drive is subjected to infrequent momentary overloads, stall conditions and low- cycle fatigue (less than 100 cycles), the conditions should be evaluated to assure that the yield strength of any component is not exceeded (se8 8.3.1). With respect to the gear bending strength for momentary overloads, the maximum allowable stress is determined by the allowable yield proper- ties rather than the bending fatigue strength of the material. This stress is designated as sy; its determination is shown in ANSVAGMA 2001-C95. Shaft, bearing and housing deflections have a significant effect on gear mesh alignment during momentary overloads. The enclosed drive must be evaluated to assure that the reactions to momentary overloads do not result in excessive misalignment causing ‘localized high stress concentrations or permanent deformation or both. In addition, the effects of external loads such as overhung, trans- verse and thrust loads must be evaluated. 45 Efficiency estimate ‘There are certain applications where the efficiency of an enclosed drive must be estimated and its thermal rating determined, AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD. The determination of efficiency is dependent on many complex characteristics and relationships. There are many factors which affect efficiency values. Some factors are: ~ operating temperature; ~ _ambierit temperature; - toad and speed; = gear geometry; ~ lubricant and lubrication system; = housing characteristics; = aligninent and deflection; ~ bearing type and assembly; ~ seals; ~ shaft driven accessories such as fans and pumps. ‘The heat dissipation characteristics and interaction of these factors are complex. The conditions of this standard prevail where rolling element bearings and hydrodynamic tip seals are used and a nominal gear efficiency value of 98 percent per mesh may be assumed. When other components (and their associated setups) are required, such as bearing reloads, face seals, high oil levels, special gear ‘geometry, joumal bearings and shifting mecha- nisms, a detailed analysis is necessary. Itis beyond the scope of this standard to present a detailed analysis of efficiency. ‘An estimate of the efficiency of an enclosed drive may be made by using the thermal capacity calculated in clause 6, but such an estimate will be ‘only an approximation of efficiency under test. The ‘temperature sensitive portions of power loss may be different rom those calculated according to clause 6, unless the operating sump temperature is nearly 20°F. Unless specifically agreed to between the user and manufacturer, items such as the prime mover, couplings, external driven ioads, attaching devices and motor diven accessories, are not included in the enclosed drive efficiency estimate, 5 Rating criteria ‘The pitting resistance rower rating and the bending ‘strength power rating for each mesh in the unit must be calculated and the lowest value obtained shall be used as the power rating of the gearset. It is Permissible to use more conservative values. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD. 5.1 Pitting resistance power rating, Pac The pitting of gear teeth is considered to be a Hertzian contact fatigue phenomenon. Initial pitting and destructive pitting are illustrated and discussed in ANSVAGMA 1010-E95, Appearance of Gear Teeth - Terminology of Wear and Fallure. ‘The purpose of the pitting resistance formula is to determine a oad rating at which destructive pitting of the teeth does not occur during their design life. The ratings for pitting resistance are based on the formulas developed by Hertz for contact pressure betweentwo curved surfaces, modified for the effect of load sharing between adjacent tecth. 5.1.1 Pitting resistance of spur and helical gears The pitting resistance power rating shall be per the rating procedures and formulas of ANSYAGMA 2001-C95. The following factors for enclosed drives: shall be used: Ky = 1.0, temperature factor, G_ =1.0, surface condition factor; Ky = 1.0, reliability factor; Sin = 1.0, safety factor, is the dynamic factor (see 5.1.1.1); is the load distribution factor (see 6.1.1.2); = 1.0, overload factor, Is the stress cyole factor (see 5. Dynamic factor, K, K, is to be determined by clause 8 of ANSV/AGMA 2001-C95, with the exception that values of K, shall not be based on a transmission accuracy number greater than Q, = 11. 1.3), e BOQ ARR ‘Transmission accuracy number (0,) shall be based upon the quality level of the gearing produced. Inthe absence of a known specific quailty level, the curve for Q, = 6 shall be used. Figure 1 of ANSI/AGMA 2001-C95 limits values for the dynamic factor as a function of pitch line velocity. ‘These curves cannot be extrapolated to obtain values beyond the limits given. 5.1.1.2 Load distribution factor, Kor The empirical method of ANSVAGMA 2001-C95 shall be used in determining the load distribution factor. For typical enclosed drives, the mesh alignment factor, Cua, Shall be obtained fram curve 3 of figure 7 in ANSVAGMA 2001-CS5. A more ANSYAGMA 6010-F97 conservative approach such as curves 1 of 2 is allowed.

This does not in anyway imply a fixed life. ttadjusts each gear element rating based on the relative number of cycles. The number of cycles ‘corresponding to 10 000 hours should be used to determine the Zy factor. In figure 17 of ANSVAGMA 2001-C85, for stress ‘cycle factors above 1 x 107 cycles, use the upper ‘curve for piting 5.1.2 Pitting resistance of bevel gears ‘The pitting resistance power rating for bevel gears shall be per the rating procedures and formulas of ANSVAGMA 2003-A86. The following factors for ‘enclosed drives shall be used: G = 1.0, size factor; G = 1.0, surface condition factor; = 1.0, external dynamic factor; Cy = 0.785, stress adjustment factor; = 1.0, le adjustment factor; Gis the dynamic factor (see 5.1.2.2); Gu is the load distribution factor (see 5.1.2.9); Cr =1.0, temperature factor. 5.1.2.4 Life factor (stress cycle factor), C, This factor adjusts the rating of individual gear elements based on the relative number of load cycles. The number of cycles corresponding to 10 000 hours should be used to determine C,. See figure 1 in ANSVAGMA 2003-A86. The upper curve should be used. 5.1.2.2 Dynamic factor, C,, Ky G and k, are to be determined by clause 8.5 in ANSVAGMA 2003-A86, with the exception that values of G, and K, shall not be based on a transmission accuracy number greater than Q,= 11.

ANSVAGMA 6010-F97 5.2 Bending strength power rating, Par Bending strength of gear teeth is a measure of the resistance to fatigue cracking at the tooth root filet ‘Typical cracks and fractures are illustrated in ANSI AGMA 1010-E95. The intent of the AGMA strength rating formula is to determine the load which can be transmitted for the design life of the teeth without causing root fillet cracking or failure. Occasionally manufacturing tool marks, wear, surface fatigue or plastic flow may timit bending strength due to stress concentration around large, sharp comered pits or wear steps on the tooth surface. 5.2.1 Bending strength of spur and helical gears ‘The bending strength rating for gearing within the scope of this standard shall be determined by the rating methods and procedures of ANSVAGMA 2001-C95. The following factors for enclosed drives shall be used: = 1.0, temperature factor, = 1.0, reliability factor; = 1.0, safety factor; Is the dynamic factor (see 5.1.1.1); is the load distribution factor (see 5.1.1.2); = 1.0, overload factor, is the stress cycle factor (see 5.2.1.1). 5.2.1.1 Stress cycle factor, Yy This factor adjusts the rating of individual gear elements based on the relative number of subjected stress cycles. This does not in anyway imply a fixed life, Itadjusts each gear element rating based on the relative number of cycles.

Since the bending strength rating practice for bevel gears of ANSJAGMA 2003-A86 does not account for momentary peak loads as encountered during starting, a load spectrum analysis, such as with Miner's Rule, is required to account for the permissible starting and operating peak load cycles. 5.3 Allowable stress numbers for pitting resistance and bending strength AAs defined in the gear tooth rating standards, the allowable stress numbers for gear materials vary with composition, cleanliness, quality, heat treat- ment and processing practices. Unless justified by testing, do not use the allowable stress numbers for Grade 9 material. Use the allowable stress numbers for Grades 1 or 2 in accordance with ANSVAGMA 2001-C95, clause 16, or ANSAGMA 2003-A86, clause 20. 6 Thermal power rating ‘The following thermal model has been established using empirical factors. Itis based on the experience of several gear manufacturers, The model has been validated by extensive testing of concentric shaft, base mounted reducers with shafts mounted in a horizontal orientation. Limited testing of some parallel shaft gear units has also been performed to ‘spot check the adequacy (validity) of the model. Values of some variables such as arrangement constant, heat transfer coefficient and coefficient of friction may not adequately address other enclosed drive configurations and operating conditions. ‘These configurations or conditions may necessitate modifications of these variables. Changing any variable requires care and testing to insure that the principles of the heat balance formulation are not violated. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Maintaining an acceptable temperature in the oil sump of a gear drive is critical to its life. Therefore, the selection of a gear drive must consider not only ‘the mechanical rating but also the thermal rating. ‘Thermal rating is defined as the maximum power that can be continuously transmitted through a gear drive without exceeding a spocified oll sump temperature. The thermal rating must equal or exceed the transmitted power. Service factors are ot used when determining thermal requirements. ‘The thermal rating depends upon the specifics of the drive, operating conditions, the maximum allowable sump temperature, as well as the type of cooling employed. 6.1 Rating criteria ‘The primary thermal rating criterion is the maximum. allowable oll sump temperature. Unacceptably high oll sump temperatures influence gear drive operation by increasing the oxidation rate of the oil and decreasing its viscosity. Reduced viscosity transiates into reduced ollflm thickness on the gear teeth and bearing contacting surfaces which may resutt in reducing the fife of these elements. To achieve the requited life and performance of a gear drive, the operating oll sump temperatures must be evaluated and limited. ‘Thermal ratings of gear drives rated by this standard ‘are limited to a maximum allowable oll sump temperature of 200° F. However, based on the gear manufacturer's experience or application require- ments, selection can be made for oil sump temperatures above or below 200°F (see 6.6). ‘Additional criteria that must be applied in establish- ing the thermal rating for a specific gear drive with a given type of cooling are related to the operating conditions of the drive. The basic thermal rating, Py, is established by test (Method A) or by calculation (Method 8) under the following conditions: = oil sump temperature at 200°F; - ambient air temperature of 75°F; = ambient air velocity of =275 fpm in a large indoor space; = air density at sea level; and ~ continuous operation Modifying factors for deviation from these criteria are given in66. ANSVAGMA 6010-FS7 6.2 Service conditions 6.2.1 Intermittent service For intermittent servioe, the input power may exceed: ‘the manufacturer's thermal power rating provided the oil sump temperature does not exceed 200° F. 6.22 Adverse conditions ‘The ability of a gear drive to operate within its thermal power rating may be reduced when adverse condi- tions exist. Some examples of adverse environmental conditions are: = anenclosed space; = buildup of material that may cover the gear drive and reduce heat dissipation; = _ahhigh ambient temperature, such as boiler, ‘machinery or turbine rooms, or in conjunetion with hot processing equipment = high altitudes; ~ the presence of solar energy or radiant heat. 6.2.3 Favorable conditions The thermal power rating may be enhanced when operating conditions indude increased air ‘movement or a low ambient temperature. 6.2.4 Auxiliary cooling ‘Auxiliary cooling should be used when the thermal rating Is insufficient for operating conditions. The oil may be cooled by a number of means, some of which, are: - Fan cooling. The fan shall maintain the fan cooled thermal power rating: = Heat exchanger. The heat exchanger used shall be capable of absorting generated heat that cannot be dissipated by the gear drive by convection and radiation. : 6.3 Methods for determi g the thermal rating ‘Thermal rating may be determined by one of two methods: Method A - test, or Method B = calculation. 63.1 Method A: Test Test of full scale gear drives at operating conditions fs the most accurate method for establishing the thermal rating of the gear drive. See 6.4. 632 Method B: Heat balance catcutation The thermal rating of a gear drive can be calculated using the heat balance equation which equates heat generated with heat dissipated. The method for ANSVAGMA 6010-F97 calculating the thermal rating is given in 6.5. The method for calculating heat generation is discussed in 6.5.1 and for heat dissipation in 6.5.2. 6.4 Method A - Test Atest of a specific gear drive at its design operating conditions is the most reliable means to establish the thermal rating. Thermal testing involves measuring the steady state bulk oil sump temperature of the goar drive operating atts rated speed at no load and at least one or two increments of load. Preferably cone test should be at 200°F sump temperature. While no load testing cannot yield a thermal rating, it may be used to approximate the heat transfer coefficient for comparison purposes, if the power required to operate the drive at no load is measured. ‘Some guidelines for acceptable thermal testing are as follows: - The ambient air temperature and velocity must be stabilized and measured for the duration of the test; = Thetime required for the gear drive to reacha steady state sump temperature depends upon the drive size and the type of cooling; ~ Steady state conditions can be approximated ‘when the change in oilsump temperature is 2°F or less per hour. ‘The oil temperature in the sump at various locations can vary as much as 27°F. The location of the temperature measurement should represent the bulk oil temperature. Outer surface temperatures ‘can vary substantially from the sump temperature. ‘The opposite direction of rotation can create a different sump temperature. During thermal testing the housing outer surface temperature can be surveyed if detailed analysis of the heat transfer coefficient and effective housing surface areais desired. Also, with fan cooling, the air velocity distribution over the housing surface can be measured. 6.5 Method B - Calculations for determining the thermal power rating, Py The calculation of thermal rating is an iterative process due to the load dependency of the coeffi- Cient of friction for the gear mesh and the bearing power loss. 10 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD. The basis of the therrral rating is when the losses, Py. at R, are equal to the heat dissipation, Pp, of the gear drive. Po =Py (2) When this is satisfied under the conditions of 6.1, input power, fis equal tothe thermal power rating, Pr. ‘The heat generation in a gear drive comes from both load dependent, Fy, and non-load dependent losses, Py. Py =P. + Py (3) , is a function of the input power, Py, Py, = (PA) (4) Using equation 2 and rearranging terms, we can write the basic heat balance equation as follows: Pq ~ Py ~ fa) = 6) To determine the basic thermal rating, Pr vary Py until equation 5 is satsfed. This can be done by recalculating the load dependent losses, Fi), at different input powers, Fs. IfPo = Py, the gear drive does not have adequate thermal capacity. The design must be changed to increase Po or auxiliary cooling methods must be used.
