ESDU 88033 A-2012 The design of spur and helical involute gears. A procedure compatible with BS 436: Part 3: 1986 – method for calculation of contact and root bending stress limitations for metallic involute gears
ESDU 88033 is a guide to BS 436: Part 3: 1986 which provides a rigorous analytical procedure for rating a gear of known size in terms of allowable stresses or maximum power capacity. The method quantifies all the factors known to affect gear performance@ and it requires a major reappraisal of traditional methods of gear design. ESDU 88033 discusses the factors@ introduced in the new Standard@ that affect material strength and the stresses induced@ and provides advice on the choice of materials and manufacturing processes. An approximate method@ compatible with BS 436: Part 3: 1986 enables the physical size of suitable gears to be determined from a known power transmission requirement. The method is summarised in a flowchart and illustrated by worked examples. A discussion of methods by which the new Standard may be used to generate gear design data for optimisation is included.
