Back to articleResults of strain gauges that were located at the root region across the face width of the pinions of the two different designs. Data were taken from the strain gauges for four different combinations of speed and torque. The alternating stress was determined for each location at every speed/torque condition. The face-milled pinion had the highest stress values at the midpoint across the tooth width. The face-hobbed pinion had lower alternating stress at all conditions.
