Introduction

Modern gears are designed with helical teeth to improve

their noise behavior and the pitting load capacity. Therefore,

a ver e ca cu at on met o to eterm ne t e p tt ng oa

capacity of helical gears is essential.

ISO 6336-2 and DIN 3990–Part 2 calculate a higher-

endurance torque for helical gears than for spur gears of the

ame size and material, but experimental research on the pittingoa capac ty o e ca spur gears s ac ng e s. , .

Management SummaryIn experimental analyses, the pitting load capacity of

case-carburized spur and helical gears is determined in

back-to-back test rigs.

Included for testing are one type of spur gear and eight

types of helical gears, with tests for the determination

of influences of varying load distribution, overlap ratio

and transmission ratio. The test results are presented

and evaluated on the basis of the pitting load capacity

calculation methods of ISO 6336-2/DIN 3990–Part 2.

A new DIN/ISO-compatible calculation method for

pitting load capacity is presented. This new calculation

method analyzes helical gears more adequately than ISO

6336-2/DIN 3990–Part 2, and has the ability to consider

tooth flank modifications. The new calculation method is

applied to test results and gears of a calculation study. It

shows better agreement with the experimental test results

than the present ISO 6336-2/DIN 3990–Part 2.
