This document specifies the basic formulae for use in the determination of the surface load capacity of straight and helical (skew), Zerol and spiral bevel gears including hypoid gears, and comprises all the influences on surface durability for which quantitative assessments can be made. This document is applicable to oil lubricated bevel gears, as long as sufficient lubricant is present in the mesh at all times.

The formulae in this document are based on virtual cylindrical gears and restricted to bevel gears whose virtual cylindrical gears have transverse contact ratios of ε_vα < 2. The results are valid within the range of the applied factors as specified in ISO 10300-1.

The formulae in this document are not directly applicable to the assessment of other types of gear tooth surface damage, such as plastic yielding, scratching, scuffing or any other type not specified.

NOTE This document is not applicable to bevel gears which have an inadequate contact pattern under load.

The user is cautioned that when the formulae are used for large average mean spiral angles (βm1 + β_m2)/2 > 45°, for effective pressure angles α_e > 30° and/or for large facewidths b > 13 mmn, the calculated results of this document should be confirmed by experience. See more
