Gear Durability Calculation and Engineering Design
Assess Gear Tooth Root Strength and Flank Pressure Safety

Our proprietary gear durability calculation was developed by Intech engineers to assess the number of hours of trouble-free performance for the specific conditions of your application. The durability calculation is based on data derived from years of laboratory testing and gear design.

We will size the gear for you.

Assess tooth root strength to predict fatigue failure;
Assess the flank pressure safety, i.e. predict premature wear;
Select appropriate gear shock loading factor;

Calculate required gear backlash;
Select correct metal core size;
Modify tooth geometry, if required;
Call you with suggestions to extend gear life.
