This standard provides nomenclature for general modes of geartooth wear and failure. It classifies, identifies, and describesthe most common types of failure and provides information whichwill, in many cases, enable the user to identify failure modes andevaluate the degree or progression of wear.
This standard is based on experience with steel gears; however,many of the failure modes discussed may apply to gears made fromother materials.
The solution to many gear problems requires detailedinvestigation and analysis by specialists and is beyond the scopeand intent of this standard.
This standard does not define “gear failure”. One observer’s”failure” is another observer’s “run-in”. There is no singledefinition of gear failure, since whether or not a gear has faileddepends on the specific application.
