LUBE925
Scoring is the one mode of failure, which is very hard to predict. With the
calculation method according to AGMA 925, there is a well proven procedure
to predict the likelihood of scoring. The Software rates gears exactly as
intended by the American Gear Manufacturers Association Information Sheet:
AGMA 925-A03, “AGMA Information Sheet, Effect of Lubrication on Gear Surface Distress.”
LUBE925 performs a complete analysis of the tribology of spur and helical gears. It calculates the EHL film thickness using the Dowson and Toyoda equation and the flash temperature using Blok's critical temperature theory.
LUBE925 features include:
- Calculates EHL specific film thickness and probability of wear
- Calculates total contact temperature and probability of scuffing
- Calculates rolling, sliding, and entraining velocities, and specific sliding (slide/roll) ratios
- Calculates Hertzian contact stress
- Provides screen and hard-copy plots of specific sliding, Hertzian stress, film thickness, specific film thickness, and contact temperature
