This standard provides nomenclature for general
modes of gear tooth wear and failure. It classifies,
identifies, and describes the most common types of
failure and provides information which will, in many
cases, enable the user to identify failure modes and
evaluate the degree or progression of wear.
This standard is based on experience with steel
gears; however, many of the failure modes discussed
may apply to gears made from other
materials.
The solution to many gear problems requires
detailed investigation and analysis by specialists
and is beyond the scope and intent of this standard.
This standard does not define “gear failure”. One
observer’s “faiiure” is another observer’s “ruMn”.
There is no single definition of gear failure, since
whether or not a gear has failed depends on the
specific application.
