Question:

A catalog of stock bevel gears lists a power rating of 5.2 hp at 1200 rev/min pinion speed for a straight-bevel gearset consisting of a 20-tooth pinion driving a 40-tooth gear. This gear pair has a 20◦ normal pressure angle, a face width of 0.71 in, and a diametral pitch of 10 teeth/in and is through-hardened to 300 BHN. Assume the gears are for general industrial use, are generated to a transmission accuracy number of 5, and are uncrowned. Given these data, what do you think about the stated catalog power rating?
