Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing or using products, processes or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretation of this standard should be addressed to the American Gear Manufacturers Association.
CAUTION NOTICE: AGMA technical publications are subject to constant improvement, revision or withdrawal as dictated by experience. Any person who refers to any AGMA technical publication should be sure that the publication is the latest available from the Association on the subject matter.

Foreword
rhe foreword, footnotes and annexes, if any, in this document are provided for informational purposes only and are not to be construed as a part of ANSI/AGMA Standard 6010-F97, Standard for Spur, Helical, Herringbone and Bevel Enclosed Drives.] This standard presents general guidelines and practices for design, rating (including catalog rating) and lubrication of enclosed gear drives and is a revision to and supersedes ANSIIAGMA 6010-E88, Standard for Spur, Helical, Herringbone and Bevel Enclosed
Drives.

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, ANSVAGMA 61 lo-F97, is available in hard metric. The allowable stress numbers used in this standard are derived from ANSVAGMA 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 .& and YN for the required number of cycles of operation, In previous versions of this standard, a CL and & 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 life will 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 ANSVAGMA 2001-C95 and ANSVAGMA 2003-A86; references to the necessary additional standards; a uniform selection method by specifying a nominal L1 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 primarily 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 M iner s Rule. Work was started on this draft in Decemberl991. 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 of this standard will be welcome. They should be sent to the American Gear Manufacturers Association, 1500 King Street, Suite 201, Alexandria, Virginia 22314.

3 Application

and design considerations

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, K$ = 1 .O); - A lim ited number of stress cycles, typically less than 104. For applications exceeding these conditions an appropriate service factor should be selected.

Users of this standard are expected to have had experience in the field of gearing and mechanical drive systems. 3.1 Application lim itations In this standard, the unit rating is defined as the mechanical capacity of the gear unit components determined with a unity service factor. 4

AMERICAN

STANDARD

ANSIIAGMA

6010-F97

WARNING: For momentary torques in excess of 200%, stall conditionsand low numberof stress cycles,

the gear drive shouldbe evaluatedto assurethe user of this standardthat these conditionsdo 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, external 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 conservative 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 If units are to be operated below -2OF, care must be given to select materials which have adequate impact properties at the operating temperature. Consideration should be given to: - low temperature specification; impact strength

actual. These terms have resulted in confusion as to the actual capability of the 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 rating; 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 are specifically related to the unit rating as defined below. 4.1 Unit rating definition The unit rating is the overall mechanical power rating of all static and rotating elements within the enclosed drive. The m inimum rated component (weakest link, whether determined by gear teeth, shafts, bolting, housing, etc.) of the enclosed drive determines the unit rating.
4.2

- 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,

Unit rating requirements

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 operating speed range no matter how induced. The enclosed gear drive designer or manufacturer is not responsible for this analysis, unless agreed to in the purchase contract.

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 to be within the lim its set by this standard. Rolling element bearing or sleeve bearing designs are to be within lim its set by ANSIIAGMA 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 include 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 lim its set by this standard. Refer to clause 7 for further information.

4 Unit rating
Historically, many terms have been used to denote conditions of operations - both calculated and

ANSI/AGMA

4.3 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; i.e., its m inimum be related to the actual rated component power, Pmcr service conditions.

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; ambient temperature; load and speed; gear geometry; lubricant and lubrication system; housing characteristics; alignment and deflection; bearing type and assembly; seals;

..,
where fi is the application power of enclosed drive, hp; is the service factor.

- 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 lip 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 preloads, face seals, high oil levels, special gear geometry, journal bearings and shifting mechanisms, a detailed analysis is necessary. It is 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 from those calculated according to clause 6, unless the operating sump temperature is nearly 200F. Unless specifically agreed to between the user and manufacturer, items such as the prime mover, couplings, external driven loads, attaching devices and motor driven accessories, are not included in the enclosed drive efficiency estimate.

Pmc is the m inimum component power rating, hp;

K$ For cases where the gear mesh has been determ ined to be the m inimum rated component, the lesser of Pa, or Pat, as defined in this standard, becomes Pmcin equation 1 (see 5.1 and 5.2). 4.4 Momentary overloads When the enclosed drive is subjected to infrequent momentary overloads, stall conditions and lowcycle fatigue (less than 100 cycles), the conditions should be evaluated to assure that the yield strength of any component is not exceeded (see 8.3.1). With respect to the gear bending strength for momentary overloads, the maximum allowable stress is determined by the allowable yield properties rather than the bending fatigue strength of the material. This stress is designated as say; 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 m isalignment causing localized high stress concentrations or permanent deformation or both. In addition, the effects of external loads such as overhung, transverse and thrust loads must be evaluated. 4.5 Efficiency estimate There are certain applications where the efficiency of an enclosed drive must be estimated and its thermal rating determined.

5 Rating criteria The pitting resistance power 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.

5.1 Pitting resistance power rating, Pat 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 lOlO-E95, Appearance of Gear Teeth - Terminology of Wear and Failure. The purpose of the pitting resistance formula is to determine a load 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 between two curved surfaces, modified for the effect of load sharing between adjacent teeth. 5.1.1 Pitting resistance of spur and helical gears The pitting resistance power rating shall be per the rating procedures and formulas of ANSVAGMA 2001 -C95. The following factors for enclosed drives shall be used:

conservative approach such as curves 1 or 2 is allowed. if assembled quality level is unknown, curve 1 should be used.

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. It adjusts 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 ZN factor. In figure 17 of ANWAGMA 2001 -C95, for stress cycle factors above 1 x lo7 cycles, use the upper curve for pitting. 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.

6 Thermal power rating

The following thermal model has been established using empirical factors. It is 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.

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 exceedina a soecified oil sump temperature. The thermal rating must equal or exceed the transmitted power. Service factors are not 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 oil sump temperature. Unacceptably high oil sump temperatures influence gear drive operation by increasing the oxidation rate of the oil and decreasing its viscosity. Reduced viscosity translates into reduced oil film thickness on the gear teeth and bearing contacting surfaces which may result in reducing the life of these elements. To achieve the required life and performance of a gear drive, the operating oil sump temperatures must be evaluated and lim ited. Thermal ratings of gear drives rated by this standard are lim ited to a maximum allowable oil sump temperature of 200 F. However, based on the gear manufacturer s experience or application requirements, selection can be made for oil sump temperatures above or below 200F (see 6.6). Additional criteria that must be applied in establishing 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, PT, is established by test (Method A) or by calculation (Method B) under the following conditions: oil sump temperature at 200F; ambient air temperature of 75F;

6.2 Service conditions 6.2.1 Intermittent service For intermittent service, the input power may exceed the manufacturer s thermal power rating provided the oil sump temperature does not exceed 200 F. 6.2.2 Adverse conditions The ability of a gear drive to operate within its thermal power rating may be reduced when adverse conditions exist. Some examples of adverse environmental conditions are: _ an enclosed space; - a buildup of material that may cover the gear drive and reduce heat dissipation; - a high ambient temperature, such as boiler, machinery or turbine rooms, or in conjunction 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 include 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 absorbing generated heat that cannot be dissipated by the gear drive by convection and radiation. 6.3 Methods for determining the thermal rating Thermal rating may be determined by one of two methods: Method A - test, or Method B calculation. 6.3.1 Method A: Test Test of full scale gear drives at operating conditions is the most accurate method for establishing the thermal rating of the gear drive. See 6.4. 6.3.2 Method B: Heat balance calculation The thermal rating of a gear drive can be calculated using the heat balance equation which equates heat generated with heat dissipated.

calculating the thermal rating is given in 6.5. The method for calculating heat generation is discussed in 6.51 and for heat dissipation in 6.5.2. 6.4 Method A - Test A test 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 gear drive operating at its rated speed at no load and at least one or two increments of load. Preferably one test should be at 200F 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; - The time required for the gear drive to reach a steady state sump temperature depends upon the drive size and the type of cooling; - Steady state conditions can be approximated when the change in oil sump temperature is 2F or less per hour. The oil temperature in the sump at various locations can vary as much as 27F. 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 area is 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, PT The calculation of thermal rating is an iterative process due to the load dependency of the coefficient of friction for the gear mesh and the bearing power loss.

The thermal rating of the gear drive can be related to efficiency as follows:

The gear drive manufacturer should be consulted when the conditions exceed the limits given in tables 6 thru 10 or when correction factors are required for any type of cooling other than natural or shaft fan. When the ambient air temperature is below 75F, Bref allows an increase in the thermal rating. Conversely, with an ambient air temperature above 75F, the thermal rating is reduced. See table 6.

1 The choice of kvalues within each range is affected by the items listed in 6.5.2. Use of the high values in each range should be justified by test.

The heat transfer coefficient for a shaft fan cooled gear drive is a function of fan design, shroud design and fan speed. It will vary substantially depending upon the effectiveness of the fan and the proportion of the exterior surface cooled by the resulting airflow. The air velocity is defined to be the average air velocity over 60% of the surface area, 4, of the gear drive. The effect of using multiple fans on a gear drive could increase the average air velocity, thereby resulting in a higher heat transfer coefficient. Table 5 provides values for k for fan cooled gear drives.

When the surrounding air has a steady velocity in excess of 275 fpm due to natural or operational wind fields, the increased convection heat transfer allows the thermal rating to be increased by applying Bv. Conversely, with an ambient air velocity of 1100 fpm, the thermal rating is reduced. See table 7.

The standard maximum allowable oil sump temperature is 200F. A lower sump temperature requires a reduction in the thermal rating using BT. See table 9. A maximum allowable sump temperature in excess of 200F will increase the thermal rating and can provide acceptable gear drive performance in some applications. However, it must be recognized that operating above 200F may reduce lubricant and contact seal life and increase the surface deterioration on the gears and bearings with a subsequent increase in the frequency of maintenance. The gear manufacturer should be consulted when a maximum allowable oil sump temperature in excess of 200F is being considered.

The components of a gear drive must be designed with consideration for all loads likely to be encountered during operation. These include the torque loads imposed. on the components through the gearing, and the external loads, such as overhung loads, external thrust loads and dynamic loads. Components must also be designed to withstand any assembly forces which m ight exceed the operating loads. During the design process, the operating loads must be considered to occur in the worst possible direction and loading combinations.

This discussion is further limited to the backstopping mode of operation. 7.6.2 Selection and application Backstopping load is permitted to pass through all components between the load and the backstop. This may render the backstop function ineffective in case of component failure between the backstop and the driven load. The maximum allowable overrunning backstop speed must be greater than the maximum shaft speed attainable in all operating conditions. The backstop should be selected based upon the number of backstopping cycles and the applied torque. 7.6.3 Installation A backstop is installed with the outer race of the backstop anchored to a stationary member while the inner members can overrun freely in one direction of rotation. A backstop with a separate inner race must have the race secured to the rotating shaft. 7.6.3.1 Installation of built in types A backstop can be built into the gear drive and the inner race eliminated by having the cams engaging directly on the supporting shaft. In this case, the inner race surface must be capable of sustaining a Hertzian contact stress as required by the backstop design. The following items concerning the shaft must also be addressed: surface hardness; case depth; taper of the supporting cam contact area; concentricity with backstop outer race.

7.5 Threaded fasteners Refer to clause 8 of ANSVAGMA 6001 -D97. 7.6 Backstops Backstops are designed to prevent reverse rotation of driven equipment that is intended for unidirectional rotation only. They allow free, unimpeded rotation in one direction, while preventing rotation in the opposite direction. Specified torque limit and rotational speed will vary depending upon the manufacturer.

The shaft that the backstop is mounted on must be supported by bearings. The backstop is not intended to withstand reaction loads imposed by gears or other sources. 7.6.3.2 Source of installation Some manufacturers choose to ship gear drives with backstops internal to the gear drive while others

make them external. In either case, special care must be taken to identify the proper direction of rotation. Manufacturers usually identify the backstop housing with a marking to indicate the appropriate shaft rotation to prevent damage to the backstop. The installation should take the added precaution of manually rotating the input shaft with the motor installed to insure the proper operation of the clutch.

During the selection process, the following should be considered:

items

hollow shaft and drive shaft yield point of material; coefficient of friction between the hollow shaft and the drive shaft; tolerance and fits of the mating surfaces;

7.6.4 Lubrication
The backstop, much like other elements of the gear drive, must have proper lubrication that is free of contaminants, and the lubricant should be drained, flushed, and changed on a regular maintenance schedule as recommended by the gear drive manufacturer. The backstop may be lubricated by grease or oil that is appropriately selected for the application considering the environment in which it will operate.
WARNING:

effect of diameter change when the shrink disc is applied; surface finishes of the hollow shaft and drive shaft; axial forces applied to the assembly; through

starting and peak loads transmitted the drive system.

The shrink disc should be selected according to the manufacturer s recommendations.

Do not use extreme pressure lubricants or lubricants with formulations including sulphur, chlorine, lead and phosphorous derivatives, as well as graphite and molybdenum disulfide in gear drives equipped with an internal backstop unless approved by the gear drive manufacturer or the backstop manufacturer.

7.9 Other components

See clause 9 of ANSVAGMA 6001-D97 discussions on the following components: shims, 9.1; gaskets, 9.2; oil seals, 9.3 (see note below); breathers, 9.4 (see note below); expansion chambers, 9.5 (see note below); oil level indicators, 9.6; bearing retainers, 9.7; grease retainers, 9.8; dowels and pins, 9.9; spacers, 9.10; seal retainers, 9.11; locking devices for fasteners, 9.12; tolerance and fits of mating surfaces. for brief

Some synthetic gear lubricants adversely affect the operation of internal backstops. Special authorization is required from the gear drive manufacturer before using a synthetic lubricant in a gear drive equipped with an internal backstop.
WARNING:

7.7 Balancing
The purpose of balancing is to minimize or eliminate vibration in a rotating element due to unbalance. The importance of proper balancing increases directly in proportion to the pitch line velocity of the rotating part. Excessive unbalance can result in premature bearing, gear or other component failure. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the drive components to determine the need for balancing and assure that it is done without affecting the structural integrity of the rotating mass.

7.8 Shrink discs

Shrink discs are one option to connect a hollow shaft gear drive to the drive shaft. The shrink disc is an external locking device installed over a hollow shaft projection. By tightening the locking screws, the locking collars exert radial forces on the tapered inner ring and the hub. After bridging the fit clearances, radial clamping pressure is generated between the drive shaft and the hollow shaft establishing a solid, frictional connection.

NOTE: It is recognized that gear drives applied in certain industries and under certain atmospheric conditions should be equipped with special seals and breathers designed for those conditions. Examples are units installed in the dusty or corrosive atmospheres of chemical plants, cement mills and taconite processing plants. It is also recommended that units which are to be exposed to severe moisture and vapor laden atmospheres be equipped with moisture barrier seats and breathers. Some applications in wet locations subject to direct or indirect wash down may preclude the use of breathers, such as in the paper and food industries. In these cases, expansion chambers may be used.

8 Service factors 8.1 Selection of service factors Before an enclosed gear drive can be selected for an application, an equivalent power rating must be determined. This is done by multiplying the specified transmitted power by the service factor. Since service factors represent the normal relationship between gear unit design power rating and the maximum potential transmitted power, it is suggested that the service factor be applied to the nameplate rating of the driven machine or prime mover, as applicable. Manufacturer and user must agree upon which power, prime mover rating or driven machine requirements, should dictate the selection of the gear drive. It is necessary that the gear drive selected have a rated load capacity equal to or in excess of this equivalent power rating. Service factor has been used to include the combined effects of ZN, YN, & and Ii;, in an empirically determined single factor. The mathematical contribution of each of these factors has not been established. See ANSVAGMA 2001 -C95, clause 10. In the absence of more specific load data, a service factor, &F, shown in table A.2 of annex A, may be used. 8.2 Listing of service factors The table of Service Factors, shown in annex A, has been developed from the experience of manufacturers and users of gear drives for use in common applications and has been found to be generally satisfactory for the listed industries when gears are rated using AGMA standards. It is suggested that service factors for special applications be agreed upon by the user and the gear manufacturer when variations of the tabulated value may be necessary. This standard is based on the premise that the user is defining a catalog rating. 8.3 Determining service factors Service factors may be selected from annex A or may be determined by an analytical method. listed below are some of the more important factors to be considered. 8.3.1 Operational characteristics Some of the operational characteristics that could affect an increase or decrease in service factors are:

- Type of prime mover. Differenttypes of prime movers are electric motors, hydraulic motors, steam or gas turbines, and internal combustion engines having single or multiple cylinders. - Starting conditions. Starting conditions where peak loads exceed 200 percent of rated load and frequency or duration as defined in 3.1. Rated load is defined as the unit rating with a servicefactor of 1.0. When a soft start coupling is used between the prime mover and the gear drive, the selection of service factors can be based on the gear drive manufacturer s analysis for the application. - Overloads. Loads which are in excess of the rated load are considered overloads. Overloads can be of momentary duration, periodic, quasisteady state, or vibratory in nature. The magnitude and the number of stress cycles require special analysis to prevent low cycle fatigue or yield stress failure. Applications such as high torque motors, extreme repetitive shock, or where high energy loads must be absorbed, as when stalling, require special consideration. - Overspeeds. Overspeeds contributing to external transmitted loads and dynamic loads require special analysis. - Brake equipped applications. When a gear drive is equipped with a working brake that is used to decelerate the motion of the system, select the drive based on the brake rating or the transmitted power, whichever is greater. If the brake is used for holding only, and is applied after the motion of the system has come to rest, the brake rating should be less than 200 percent of the base unit rating. If the brake rating is greater than 200 percent of the unit rating, or the brake is located on the output shaft of the gear drive, special analysis is required. - Reliability and life requirement. Applications requiring a high degree of dependability or unusually long life should be given careful consideration by the user and the gear manufacturer before assigning a service factor. 8.3.2 System conditions An essential phase in the design of a system of rotating machinery is the analysis of the dynamic (vibratory) response of a system to excitation forces.

Any vibration analysis must consider the complete system including prime mover, gear drive, driven equipment, couplings and foundations. The dynamic loads imposed upon agear drive are the result of the dynamic behavior of the total system and not of the gear drive alone.

Lubrication. Any lubricant not in accordance with manufacturer s recommendations; Misalignment and distortions; Reversing applications; High risk applications involving human safety.

8.3.2.2 Dynamic response

The dynamic response of a system results in additional loads imposed on the system and relative motion between adjacent elements in the system. The vibratory loads are superimposed upon the mean running load in the system and, depending upon the dynamic behavior of the system, could lead to failure of the system components.

9 Lubrication and lubricants

9.1 Lubrication
These lubrication recommendations apply only to enclosed gear drives which are designed and rated in accordance with current AGMA standards. Additional recommendations are contained within ANSVAGMA 9005D94. These recommendations are not intended to replace any specific lubrication recommendations made by the gear drive manufacturer. The lubricant must be selected to provide adequate oil film thickness at all operating conditions. This may require seasonal change of lubricant, oil heaters for cold starting conditions, or oil cooler for high ambient temperatures. Oil film thickness is criiical to limit wear of gears and bearings.

8.3.2.3 System induced failure

In a gear drive, system induced failures could occur as tooth breakage or severe surface deterioration of the gear elements, shaft breakage, bearing failure or failure of other component parts.

8.3.2.4 Special system considerations

It should be pointed out that synchronous motors, certain types of high torque induction motors and generator drives require special care in system design. Synchronous motors have high transient during starting and when they momentarily and restart. torques trip-out

9.1 .l Ambient temperature

The ambient temperature range is -40 to 130F and is defined as the air temperature in the immediate vicinity of the gear drive. Gear drives exposed to the direct rays of the sun or other radiant heat sources will run hotter and must therefore be given special consideration.

Induction motors of special high slip design can produce extremely high starting torques. Also, when the motor trips out for a very short time and then the trip re-closes, high torque loads are produced. Generators have extremely high loads when they are out of phase with the main system. Also, across-the-line shorts can produce torque loads up to twenty times the normal running torque. All special torque conditions should be considered when determining a service factor.

9.1.2 Other considerations

Gear drives operating outside of these temperature ranges, or those operating in extremely humid, chemical or dust laden atmospheres should be referred to the gear drive manufacturer.

9.1.3 Oil sump temperatures

The maximum oil sump temperature for mineral based oils is limited to 200F. This sump temperature is considered maximum because many lubricants are unstable above the stated maximum temperature.
CAUTION: Sumb temoeratures in excess of 200F may require sl;ecial materials for non-metallic components such as oil seals and shims.

8.3.3 Special considerations

Adjustments to the gear drive selection may be necessary when one or more of the following conditions exists: - Ambient conditions. Extremes of temperature and environment;

9.15

Mounting position

All gear drives are considered to operate in the manufacturer s specified mounting position.

9.4.3 Sump heaters

If a suitable, low temperature gear oil is not available, the gear drive must be provided with a sump heater to bring the oil up to a temperature at which it will circulate freely for starting. The heater should be selected so as to avoid excessive localized heating which could result in rapid degradation of the lubricant.

9.2 Lubricant viscositv

Lubricant viscosity recommendations are specified by AGMA lubricant numbers. The corresponding viscosity ranges are shown in ANSl/AGMA 9005-D94, table 4 .

9.3 Lubrication recommendations

Recommended lubricants are shown in ANWAGMA 9005D94, table 5.

9.5 Lubricant types

Refer to ANSVAGMA 9005D94, clause 3.

9.3.1 External cooling

If the drive lubrication system is equipped with a cooler which limits the oil supply temperature to 125F, the lubricant grade recommended for 15 to 50F in ANSI/AGMA 9005D94, table 5 may be also used at the higher temperature range.

9.5.1 Rust lubricants

and

oxidation

inhibited

gear

These lubricants are commonly referred to as R&O gear oils. They are petroleum base liquids which have been formulated to include chemical additives which are more resistant to rust and oxidation than oil without these special features.

9.3.2 Gearing considerations

When there is a large difference in pitch line velocity between the high and low speed gear stages, the use of a lower viscosity lubricant may be more desirable than that recommended in ANWAGMA 9005-D94, table 5. Also a lower viscosity lubricant may be desirable when there is a combination of sleeve and roller element bearings.

9.5.2 Anti-scuff

(extreme pressure) lubricants

9.4 Cold temperature starting 9.4.1 Low temperature conditions

Gear unit lubrication, either by splash or pump, must be given special attention if the unit is to be started or operated at temperatures below which the oil can be effectively splashed or pumped. Preheating the oil may be necessary under these low ambient temperature conditions. The gear manufacturer must always be informed when units are to operate under these conditions.

Anti-scuff (extreme pressure (EP)) gear lubricants are petroleum based lubricants containing special lubricants additives. EP gear chemical recommended for enclosed gear drives are those containing sulphur, phosphorous or similar type additives. EP gear lubricants should be used only when specified by the gear drive manufacturer (see ANSVAGMA 9005-D94, table 5). The lead naphthenate type is no longer NOTE: recommended because of limited availability and poor stability in comperison to the more modern types of lubricants.
Do not use extreme pressure lubricant or lubricants with formulations including sulphur, chlorine, lead and phosphorous derivatives, as well as graphite and molybdenum disulfide in gear drives equipped with an internal backstop, unless approved by the gear manufacturer or the backstop manufacturer. WARNING:

9.5.3 Synthetic gear lubricants

Diesters, polyglycols and synthetic hydrocarbons (polyalphaolefins) have been used in enclosed gear drives for special operating conditions. Synthetic lubricants can be advantageous over mineral oils in that they generally are more stable, have a longer life, and operate over a wider temperature range.

9.4.2 Low temperature gear oils

Gear drives operating in cold areas must be provided with oil that circulates freely and does not cause high starting torques. An acceptable low temperature gear oil, in addition to meeting AGMA specifications, must have a pour point at least 10F below the

Synthetics are not cure-alls. Each type has different characteristics, and many of them have distinct disadvantages. Such things as compatibility with gear drive and other lube system components, behavior in the presence of moisture, lubricating qualities, overall economics and compatibility with internal coatings should be carefully analyzed for each type of synthetic lubricant under consideration. In the absence of field experience in similar applications, the use of a synthetic lubricant should be carefully coordinated between the user, the gear manufacturer and the lubricant supplier.
CAUTION: Special authorization is required from the manufacturer prior to using a synthetic lubricant in a unit equipped with an internal backstop.

duty cycle or ambient conditions causing large and rapid sump temperature changes; seasonal ambient temperature changes causing changes in recommended lubricant. Extending the change period recommended may be preferred based on type of lubricant, amount of lubricant, system down time, or environmental impact of used oil. This can be done through proper implementation of a comprehensive lubricant testing program. As a minimum, the program should include testing for: changes in appearance and odor;

9.5.4 Synthetic lubricant selection

The recommendations for synthetic lubricants are based on gear drive manufacturers experience with synthetic hydrocarbons of the polyalphaolefin type. While other types of synthetic lubricants may be used, lack of experience prevents their recommendation. The viscosity recommendations may be used as a guide in selection of these other types of lubricants along with the considerations of 9.1.2.

lubricant viscosity (oxidation); water concentration; contaminant concentration;

9.6 Maintenance of lubrication system

Lubricants must be free of solid contaminants such as dirt and wear particles, free of water, and contain sufficient additives to maintain their original performance. The best way to maintain lubricant performance is by regular oil changes. Refer to ANSVAGMA 9005D94, clause 6.

sediment and sludge; additive concentration and condition.

In the absence of more specific limits, the guidelines listed as follows may be used to indicate when to change oil: water content greater than 0.05% (500 ppm); iron content exceeds 150 ppm; silicon (dust/dirt) exceeds 25 ppm; viscosity changes more than 15%.

9.6.1 Initial lubricant maintenance The lubricant in a new gear drive should after 500 hours or four (4) weeks of whichever occurs first. The gear case thoroughly cleaned with a commercial flushing oil that is compatible with the operating lubricant. be drained operation, should be grade of seals and

These tests should be performed on the initial charge of the gear unit to establish a base line for comparison. Subsequent test intervals should be established based on the unit manufacturer s and lubricant supplier s recommendations.

The original lubricant can be used for refilling if it has been filtered through a filter of 30 microns or less, it is free of water, and the original additive strength is maintained; otherwise, new lubricant must be used. Lubricants should not be filtered through fuller s earth or any filters which remove lubricant additives.

9.6.3 Cleaning and flushing

The lubricant should be drained while the gear drive is at operating temperature. The drive should be cleaned with a flushing oil.

9.6.4 Used lubricants

Used lubricant and flushing oil should be completely removed from the system to avoid contaminating the new charge.

13 Storage
13.1 General These general storage recommendations should be used when specific manufacturer s instructions are not available. They apply to gear designs in which the rotating elements are contained in a suitable enclosed housing. See annex E. Proper protection, storage and inspection of gear drives is considered to be the responsibility of the owner. It is recommended that reducers be stored in a dry, temperature controlled environment. Within this environment, the ambient temperature change should not be allowed to pass through the dew point since this would cause moisture condensation on gear drive surfaces. 13.2 Normal storage During manufacture and for intervals of storage up to four months, internal components of gear drives should be coated with a suitable oil based rust preventative. This rust preventative should contain water displacement and fingerprint suppressant additives. External machined surfaces should be coated with a similar rust preventative during manufacture. A suitable petroleum base rust preventative should be applied to external surfaces before the drives are placed in storage. Such coating should be self-healing and contain water displacement and fingerprint suppressant additives suitable for protecting the surfaces against rust for a period of up to 12 months. External and internal inspection of the gear drive should be made monthly. Any moisture observed should be removed at this time and components and surfaces recoated with rust preventative as necessary. Drives should be inspected prior to charging with lubricant to ensure that no condensate is present in the oil sump. 13.3 Adverse conditions or long term storage In conditions of long periods of storage or storage in environments subject to high humidity, extreme temperature change, or exposure to an oxidation enhancing atmosphere, gear drives should be completely filled to overflowing with a high quality oil base rust inhibiting lubricant. In cases where it is impractical to fill the gear drive to overflowing, the lubricant should be circulated to coat all internal

components and the gear drive sealed to help Care must be taken to prevent condensation. ensure that all enclosed areas are properly vented to prevent the entrapment of moist air. Ail external machined surfaces should be coated with a solvent based rust inhibiting undercoating and top coated with an asphalt base rust preventative. Under such adverse or long term storage condition, inspection of the gear drive should be performed on a weekly basis. The sump drain should be opened and a small amount of oil removed along with any condensate which might be present. The drive should be refilled to overflowing and resealed. Outside surfaces should be recoated as necessary.
CAUTION: Some gear drives contain features where overfill with lubricant is not feasible or practical. These features include such items as drywelis on vertical shaft units and labyrinth seals on shaft extensions. For these drives, add the appropriate type and amount of vapor phase rust inhibitor and seal any openings. Inspectthe gear drive on a weekly basis and add the required amount of lubricant. Drives fitted with labyrinth seals cannot be filled with oil or have a vapor phase rust inhibitor installed as both will leak from the unit.

14.1.2 Concrete foundation

If a concrete foundation is used, steel mounting pads and bolts of sufficient size to distribute the stress into the concrete should be grouted into the foundation.

14.1.3 Steel foundation

If a structural steel foundation is used (i.e., wide flange beams or channels), a base plate or sole plate of suitable thickness should be used and should extend under the entire unit. 14.2 Foot mounted units Use shims under the feet of the unit to align the output shaft to the driven equipment. Make sure that all feet are supported so that the housing will not distort when it is bolted down. Improper shimming will reduce the life of the unit and may cause failure. Install dowel pins as instructed by the manufacturer s installation manual to prevent misalignment and ensure proper realignment if removed for service.

14.3 Shaft mounted units

14 Installation
To ensure long service and dependable performance, an enclosed gear drive must be rigidly supported and the shafts accurately aligned. The following describes the minimum precautions required to accomplish this end.

14.3.2.3 Shrink disc If a shrink disc is used to secure the hollow shaft to the driven shaft, follow the shrink disc manufacturer s assembly procedure. If the shrink disc manufacturer s procedures are not available, the following may be used: a) Any protective spacers between the locking collars should be removed; b) Tighten slightly any three equally spaced locking bolts until the inner ring can just be rotated. Overtightening at this time can damage the inner ring. Measure the gap between the locking collars at several points around the circumference to ensure that they are parallel; c) Slide the shrink disc over the hollow shaft. Tighten the bolts in gradual increments following a circumferential pattern until all bolts are tightened to the specified torque. Check the gap between the locking collars to be sure that they are parallel. 14.3.3 Torque arm The torque arm should always be mounted within the angular lim its specified by the manufacturer. The preferred mounting position is perpendicular to a line through the output shaft center and the point of attachment of the torque arm to the unit housing. In this position the m inimum load on the torque arm will be experienced. Design of the joint connection between the torque arm and foundation is the user s responsibility. 14.4 Prime mover mounting Align the prime mover to the unit input shaft using shims under the feet. Make sure that the feet are supported. Dowel the prime mover to its foundation. 14.5 Shaft connections 14.5.1 Fits Clearance or interference fits for coupling hubs should be in accordance with ANSVAGMA QOO2-A86.Outboard pinion and sprocket fits should be as recommended by the pinion or sprocket manufacturer. Coupling hubs, pinions and sprockets with interference fits should be heated according to the manufacturer s recommendations, generally 250F to 3OOF,before assembling to the shaft. 14.5.2 Location Coupling hubs should be mounted flush with the shaft ends, unless specifically ordered for overhung

mounting. Pinions, sprockets and sheaves should be mounted as close as possible to the unit housing to m inimize bearing loads and shaft deflection. 14.5.3 Coupling alignment Shaft couplings should be installed according to the gear manufacturer s recommendations for gap, angular and parallel alignment. In many installations, it is necessary to allow for thermal and mechanical shaft movement when determining shaft alignment. The gear manufacturer s recommendations should be followed. Where no recommendations are made by the gear drive manufacturer, follow the coupling manufacturer s recommendations. 14.5.3.1 Axial displacement The gap between shaft ends should be the same as the specified coupling gap unless overhung mounting of the coupling hub is specified. The coupling gap and shaft gap must be sufficient to accommodate any anticipated thermal or mechanical axial movement. 14.5.3.2 Angular alignment Insert a spacer or shim stock equal to the required coupling gap between the coupling hub faces and measure the clearance using feeler gauges. Repeat this at the same depth at 90 degree intervals to determine the amount of angular m isalignment. 14.5.3.3 Parallel alignment Mount a dial indicator to one coupling hub, and rotate this hub, sweeping the outside diameter of the other hub. The parallel m isalignment is equal to one-half of the total indicator reading. Another method is to rest a straight edge squarely on the outside diameter of the hubs at 90 degree intervals and measure any gaps with feeler gauges. The maximum gap measurement is the parallel m isalignment. 14.5.3.4 Checking alignment After both angular and parallel alignments are within specified lim its, tighten all foundation bolts securely and repeat the above procedure to check alignment. If any of the specified lim its for alignment are exceeded, realign the coupling. 14.5.4 Sprocket or sheave alignment Align the sheaves or sprockets square and parallel by placing a straight edge across their faces. Alignment of bushed sheaves and sprockets should be checked after bushings have been tightened.

Annex A (informative) Service factors

rhe foreword, footnotes and annexes, if any, are provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a part of ANSIIAGMA 6010-F97, Standard for Spur Helical, Herringbone and Bevel Enclosed Drives.]

A.1 Purpose
This annex provides a detailed guide for determining service factors for enclosed gear drives.

applications be agreed upon by the user and the gear manufacturer when variations of the values in the table may be required.

A.3 Determining service factors A.1 .l Selection of service factors

Before an enclosed speed reducer or increaser can be selected for any application, an equivalent unit power rating (service factor = 1 .O) must be determined. This is done by multiplying the specified power by the service factor. Since the service factor represents the normal relationship between the gear unit rating and the required application power, it is suggested that the service factor be applied to the nameplate rating of the prime mover or driven machine rating, as applicable. Manufacturer and user must agree upon which power, prime mover rating or driven machine requirements, should dictate the selection of the gear drive. It is necessary that the gear drive selected have a rated unit capacity equal to or in excess of this equivalent unit power rating. All service factors listed are 1 .O or greater. Service factors less than 1 .O can be used in some applications when specified by the user and agreed to by the manufacturer. Table A.2 should be used with caution, since much higher values have occurred in some applications. Values as high as ten have been used. On some applications up to six times nominal torque can occur, such as: Turbine/Generator drives, Heavy Plate and Billet rolling mills. In addition to the tables, an analytical approach may be used to determine the service factor. See 8.3 for the important factors to be considered.

A.4 Service factor tables

Service factors have served industry well when the application has been identified by knowledgeable and experienced gear design engineers. The tables are provided for information purposes only and should be used only after taking into account all of the external influences which may affect the operation of the enclosed gear drive.

A.4.1 Use of tables

Service factors shown in table A.2 are for gear drives driven by motors (electric or hydraulic) and turbines (steam or gas).

A.4.2 Driver influence

When the driver is a single cylinder or multi-cylinder engine, the service factors from table A.2 must be converted to the values from table A.1 for the appropriate type of prime mover.

A.5 Example
If the application is a centrifugal blower, the service factor from table A.2 is 1.25 for a motor or turbine. Table A.1 converts this value to 1.50 for a multicylinder engine and 1.75 for asingle cylinder engine. CAUTION: Any user of enclosed gear drives should make sure he has the latest available data on the factors affecting the selection of a gear drive. When better load intensity information is available on the driving or driven equipment, this should be considered when a service factor is selected.

A.2 Listing of service factors

The table of service factors has been developed from the experience of manufacturers and users of gear drives for use in common applications. It is suggested that service factors for special

Keys and keyways for shaft extensions

phe foreword,footnotesand annexes, if any, are provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a part of ANWAGMA 6010-F97, Standard for Spur, Helical, Herringbone and Bevel Enclosed Drives.]

B.l Purpose The purpose of this annex is to present recommended standard sizes of keys and keyways to be used on shaft extensions of standard gear reducers. This annex is in conformance with ANSI B17.1-1967 and ANSI/AGMA 9002-A86. The intent of the recommended standardization is to simplify the accommodation of power transmission accessories on these gear drives. These accessories typically include shaft couplings, sheaves and sprockets. While it is recognized that there are occasional reasons to deviate from these recommendations, general conformance will eliminate confusion and m isinterpretation between vendor or supplier and user as well as ensure compatibility.

B.2 Keys Recommended key sizes are shown in table B.l. Square keys are preferred through 6.5 inches shaft diameter. Rectangular keys are preferred over 6.5 inches shaft diameter. For tapered shafts, the largest tapered diameter determines the key size. B.3 Keyways Keyway sizes should normally be selected to result in a commercial fit with the key. A commercial fit will result in a clearance fit with the sides of a key. Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to provide a radius in the keyway. The recommendations for keyway radii and key chamfer are shown in table 8.2.

The final iterative value for this example is based on 105 hp. C.5.1 Calculate heat generation C.5.1.1 Bearing power losses, Pw and I J.VB The reducer is equipped with tapered roller bearings on each shaft. The forces on each bearing must be calculated based on the assumed thermal rating of 105 hp. Using simple beam equations, the forces on each bearing can be solved. Please note that the forces listed are the equivalent radial loads and include the combined effects of both radial and thrust loads on each shaft. Table C.l gives both the operating and geometric characteristics for each bearing that is necessary for calculating bearing power losses. The bearing power losses must be calculated for each bearing individually and then summed for the total bearing power loss. The load dependent power losses for each bearing are calculated using equations 10 and 11. The load dependent losses for bearing #l follows: Calculate rolling torque, Tb, using equation 11.

For all other styles of bearings, the non-load dependent losses are included in the load dependent loss calculation. The non-load dependent losses for each bearing are calculated using equations 23, 24 and 25 or 26. The non-load dependent losses for bearing #1 are calculated as follows: First solve for the arrangement constant, A, using equation 23. Since it was stated that the reducer is lubricated using IS0 220 m ineral oil and since the maximum oil sump temperature is 200 F, then the absolute oil viscosity at maximum oil sump temperature will be 16 centipoises.

The mesh power loss, PM, must be calculated based on the assumed thermal rating of 105 hp since the coefficient of friction is dependent upon the contact load factor, K. Table C.2 which follows provides the gear geometry characteristics which must be determ ined prior to calculating the gearing power losses, PM and %o. The gearing power losses must be calculated for each mesh individually and then summed for the total gear power loss. The load dependent power losses for each mesh are calculated using equation 12. Equations 13 through 17 are also required to calculate some of the factors used in equation 12. The load dependent losses for the first stage follow: The first step is to calculate the mesh mechanical advantage, M , using equation 15. This calculation requires the solution of the sliding ratio at the start of approach, H,, equation 16, and the sliding ratio at the end of recess, Ht, equation 17.

D.l Purpose This annex covers the testing and inspection procedures for assembled gear drives. individual component inspection and process control are beyond the scope of this standard. When testing of the gear drive is required, the drive should be properly mounted for running the test in the intended operating position to ensure that all facets of the assembly are correct. Under normal test conditions the gear drive is connected by coupling or belt drive to an electric motor that is available for the purpose at the manufacturer s test facility. The following applies to only those gear drives which are lubricated in accordance with manufacturer s recommendations and tested in a system of connected rotating parts. During testing, the system should be free from critical speeds, torsional vibrations and overloads as tested at the gear drive manufacturer s facility. D.2 Inspection of the assembled gear drive The correct mating of a gear set depends not only on the accuracy of the gear teeth, but also on the position and the alignment of the gear axes relative to each other. The components, having been fully approved prior to assembly, are assembled, and proper tooth contact, backlash and bearing settings are verified. D.2.1 Tooth contact inspection Checking the tooth contact pattern (tooth bearing area) is frequently an important test of the gear drive and is of special value when gears have been mounted in a housing, because the test will indicate if the helix and pressure angles and the resultant base pitch of the mating gears meet the specified requirements and achieve optimal gear performance. The pinion profiles are generally coated with a marking compound and then rotated in mesh with the mating gear, and the resulting tooth pattern can be documented. See AGMA 390.03a, AGM4 Handbook Gear Classification, Materials and Measuring Methods for Bevel, Hypoid, Fine Pitch Wormgearing and

Racks only as Unassembled Gears, 1980, Part II I, Section 9, Tooth Contact Pattern and ANSVAGMA 2000-A88, Gear Classification and Inspection Handbook - Tolerances and Measuring Methods for Unassembled Spur and Helical Gears (Including Metric Equivalents), 1988, Appendix D, Contact Pattern Check. The percentage of tooth contact will vary depending upon the loading of the gears, but the pattern obtained even under a no load condition will provide the manufacturer with important information. D.2.2 Backlash Backlash in gears is the clearance or play between mating tooth surfaces. The backlash will be a function of the tolerances on tooth thickness, runout, lead, profile, center distance, and by the temperature differences between the housing and the gears. Functional backlash is the backlash at the tightest point of mesh on the pitch circle in a direction normal to the tooth surfaces when the gears are mounted in their assembled positions. Backlash is typically measured with feeler gauges or dial indicators normal to the gear tooth for a given mesh. Circumferential backlash of the assembled unit with gears other than spur gears should take into account the axial float of the shafts involved. D.2.3 Rolling element bearings When rolling element bearings are used, the manufacturer, based on his experience, the application, and the recommendations of his bearing supplier, will determine the type of bearings and their settings. Assembly procedures normally require a tolerance to be established for the desired setting. An incorrectly set bearing can be a source of damage for the gear drive. Bearing end play may be set one shaft at a time and finally checked when both end cover plates are bolted in place with the required shims. End play should be checked to ensure compliance with the specification. Full end play is typically measured with the shaft moved all the way

in one direction and then moved fully in the other direction. Total movement is the end play. 0.3 Testing procedure For the purpose of a running test the following conditions would apply. D.3.1 Speed A gear drive intended for service at a single speed shall be tested at that speed unless otherwise agreed upon between gear manufacturer and purchaser. The test speeds of a gear unit intended for service over a range of operating speeds shall span the range of operating speeds, unless otherwise negotiated between the manufacturer and the purchaser. The direction of rotation during the test shall be the same as that intended in service, if known. D.3.2 Loading Gear drives may be operated with or without load at the gear manufacturer s discretion unless specific test loads are agreed upon and included as a part of the purchase contract. In individual cases, especially where unusually high speeds or power are involved, alternate operating conditions may be negotiated.
CAUTION: It is recommended that gear drives not be tested with loads in excess of unit rating, since such practice will reduce the design life of the unit.

Features such as oil tightness, noise level, temperature rise, axial and radial play of input and output shafts, contact pattern of the gear meshes, and lubrication system may be checked and recorded at this time.
CAUTION: It is recommended that gear drives not be tested with loads in excess of gear unit rating, since such practice will reduce the design life of the unit.

D.3.4 Lubrication system performance The lube system must be checked for adequacy at certified speed or at both ends of speed range if the speed is variable: - On splash systems, the oil level must be high enough to lubricate all components. It must not be unnecessarily high because sound and heat will be generated; - On pressure lube systems, oil lines, troughs, gauges, pumps, filters, etc., must be checked for performance and any leakage. Flow, pressure, and temperature are to be recorded at regular intervals. D.3.5 General - Any deviations from any applicable specifications on the certified print will be noted on the test report; - All deficiencies such as oil leaks, excessive sound level, vibration, abnormal temperature rise, and insufficient tooth contact must be corrected before the gear drive is shipped; - The ratio should be verified along with the assembly, shaft extension details, and direction of rotation.

D.3.3 Test requirements The duration of the running test will be decided by the drive manufacturer unless a specific time has been contractually agreed upon between manufacturer and purchaser.
