The strength of gears are generally calculated by considering the bending strength and surface durability. In the case of using gears under severe conditions, the scoring resistance is also considered. This section introduces the formulas for strength calculation, based on excerpts from JGMA (Japan Gear Manufacturers Association’s Standards). For detailed information, please refer to the following JGMA Standards :
