Data from Example Problem 9_1 are summarized as follows: \begin{aligned}N_{P} &=20 & N_{G} &=70, & F &=1.50 \mathrm{in} & W_{l} &=720 \mathrm{lb} & D_{P} &=2.500 \mathrm{in} \\K_{c} &=1.50 & K_{\mathrm{x}} &=1.00 & K_{m}&=1.19 & K_{v} &=1.45\end{aligned}

The gear teeth are 20°. full-depth, involute teeth. We also need the geometry factor for pitting resistance, I, From Figure 9_23(a), at a gear ratio of m_{G}= N_{G}/N_{p}= 70/20 = 3.50 and forN_{p}= 20, we read I = 0.108, approximately.The design analysis for bending strength indicated that two steel gears should be used. Then, from Table 9_9,

we find that C_{p}= 2300. Then the contact stress number is s_{c}=C_{p} \sqrt{\frac{W_{l} K_{o} K_{s} K_{m} K_{v}}{F D_{p} I}}=2300 \sqrt{\frac{(720)(1.50)(1.0)(1.19)(1.45)}{(1.50)(2.50)(0.108)}}

 

s_{c}=156000 psi
