Internal and External Straight Bevel Gears Rated Hp in US Customary Units

HP = ( Ss F Y V ( C - F ) ) /  ( 55 ( 600 + V ) P C Cs )

Internal and External Straight Bevel Gears Rated Hp in Metric Units

KW = ( F Y m Ss V ( C - F ) ) / ( 327 ( 3.05 + V ) C Cs )

Operating Stress Ss in US Customary Units Internal and External Straight Bevel Gears

Ss = [ HP ( 55 ( 600 + V ) P C Cs ) ] / ( F Y V ( C - F ) )

Operating Stress Ss in Metric Units Internal and External Straight Bevel Gears

Ss  = [ KW ( 327 ( 3.05 + V ) C Cs ) ] / ( F Y m V (C - F ) ) 

Where:

Ss = safe stress in bending (lbs/in2, (from Table 2);
F = face width in inches (mm);
Y = tooth form factor (from Table 1);
m = module, (mm); = Ref. Dia / No. teeth
C = pitch cone distance in inches (mm);
Cs = service factor (from Table 3);
P = diametral pitch in inches (mm);
Pn = normal diametral pitch in inches (mm);
V = velocity at pitch circle diameter in ft/min (m/s).

V = ( rpm π D ) / 12 = ft/min

  • These values assume a moderate temperature increase and some initial lubrication.
  • With bevel gearing, divide the number of teeth by the cosine of the pitch angle and use the data in the table.
  • For example, if a 20-deg PA bevel gear has 40 teeth and a pitch angle of 58 deg, 40 divided by the cosine of 58 deg = 40 ÷ 0.529919 ≈ 75, and Y = 0.434.
