\nSCOPE<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

\tThis Standard provides a method for determining the power rating of gear sets used in main mill drives, pinion stands, and combination units used for the reduction of material size in metal rolling mills.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nApplicability<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tApplications include but are not limited to, hot mills and cold mills, roughing and finishing stands:\u00a0 reducing, increasing, and 1:1 ratio sets.\u00a0 Auxiliary drives, including drives listed in ANSI\/AGMA 6113-A06, such as bridles, coilers, uncoilers, edge trimmers, flatteners, loopers (accumulators), pinch rolls, scrap choppers, shears, and slitters are not covered by this document.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tThis standard includes a method by which different gear tooth designs can be rated and compared at extended life cycles typical for these applications, up to 175 000 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tExtended face widths in excess of the 1016 mm limit contained within ANSI\/AGMA 2101-D04 and ANSI\/AGMA 6113-A06 are accommodated.\u00a0 Single helical designs with face widths as large as 1520 mm and double helical designs with effective face widths as large as 2290 mm are not uncommon in these applications.\u00a0 A calculation method is included for the load distribution factor, K<\/em>HR<\/sub>, using a modification to the factors defined in ANSI\/AGMA 2101-D04 for these extended face widths.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tThe standard addresses the range of load spectra experienced by these drives and defines load sharing for two and three high mill pinion stands.<\/p>\n

\nRating formulae<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tThe formulae included determine the allowable fatigue ratings for pitting resistance and bending strength of steel gears with machined single or double helical external involute gear teeth only.\u00a0 Use of these formulae does not assure the performance of assembled gear drive systems, as numerous other design and operational factors are involved that are beyond the scope of this document.<\/p>\n

\tThe formulae evaluate gear tooth capacity as influenced by the major factors which affect gear tooth pitting and gear tooth fracture at the root fillet, when operating within design criteria for alignment and lubrication.<\/p>\n

\tWhere empirical values for rating factors are given by curves, curve-fitting equations are provided to facilitate computer programming.\u00a0 The constants and coefficients used in curve fitting often have significant digits in excess of those inferred by the reliability of the empirical data.\u00a0 Experimental data from actual gear unit measurements are seldom repeatable within a plus or minus 10 percent band.<\/p>\n

\tThis standard is intended for use by experienced gear designers capable of selecting reasonable values for the rating factors.\u00a0 It is not intended for use by the engineering public at large.\u00a0 Values for factors assigned in other standards are not applicable to this standard nor are the values assigned in this standard applicable to other standards.\u00a0 Mixing values from other standards with those from this standard could lead to erroneous ratings.<\/p>\n

\tThe gear designer or manufacturer is not responsible for the total system unless such a requirement is clearly identified in the contractual agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tIt is imperative that the overall system designer be satisfied that the system of connected rotating parts is compatible, free from critical speeds and from torsional or other vibrations within the specified speed range, no matter how induced.<\/p>\n

\nCAUTION<\/strong>: Compliance with this standard does not constitute a warranty of the rating of the gear set under installed field service conditions.<\/p>\n

\nLimitations<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tThe formulae of this standard are not applicable to other types of gear tooth deterioration such as wear, case crushing, and welding.\u00a0 They are also not applicable when vibratory conditions exceed the limits specified for the normal operation of the gears, see ANSI\/AGMA 6000-B96.<\/p>\n

\tThis standard is not applicable when any of the following conditions exist:<\/p>\n
