Given information that is common to both gears in the set:
S H KT K R

j = 25 degrees Pressure angle

y = 20 degrees Helix angle
Pd = 6 teeth/in Diametral pitch
Gear type = AGMA full depth Tooth type
Tooth load= Loaded at tip Type of tooth loading
F= 2.000 inches Face width
Wt = 430 lbf Transmitted load
vt = 1,527 ft/min Pitch line velocity
SH = 2.00 Factor of safety-pitting
Ko = 1.0 Overload factor
Qv = 6 Quality class of gear set
Cf = 1.0 Surface cond'n factor
ZN = 1.0 Stress cycle factor-pitting
KT = 1.0 Temperature factor
KR = 1.0 Reliability factor

Given information that may be different for each gear in the set:
Pinion Gear
Ni = 14 17 teeth Number of teeth
Gear style = 1 1 -1=intnl gear,+1=extrnl
Addendum = 0% 0% Percent +long/-short
Material = Bronze Steel HB200 Material type
grade = UNSC95400 Grade 1 Material grade
Hardness = 190 200 BHN Brinell hardness number
m= 0.349 0.30 Poisson's ratio
E= 16100000 30000000 psi Elastic modulus

Values found from the above information and inserted by the designer:
sac = 65,000 93,500 psi Allowable stress

Values automatically computed using the above information:

d= 2.333 2.833 in pitch diameter
I= #VALUE! Geometry factor-pitting
Cp = 1,937 (lb/in2)0.5 Elastic coefficient
CH = 1.0 #VALUE! Hardness ratio factor
Kv = #VALUE! Dynamic factor
Km = #VALUE! Load distribution factor
mF = #VALUE! Axial contact ratio>1
sc = #VALUE! #VALUE! psi Left-hand side of eqn.
RHS 32,500 #VALUE! psi Right-hand side of eqn.

Status #VALUE! #VALUE!

Note: This module has embedded Visual Basic functions to

compute the output values. They were developed using
Microsoft Excel and may not work with other spreadsheet
programs.
