Abstract
The design standard VDI 2736-2: 2014 is the most recent standard dedicated to the design and rating of thermoplastic cylindrical gears. Its load-carrying capacity methods are based primarily on DIN 3990 for rating metal gears, and there are few research studies on how the standard compares to experimental results. VDI 2736-2: 2014 has been implemented as a new feature into the gearbox design and analysis software MASTA to give design engineers user-friendly computational access to the standard and help facilitate a quick and efficient validation of its rating methods against experimental results. An ongoing polymer gear performance test plan is being undertaken at the University of Warwick. One aim of the research being undertaken is to understand further the application and limitations of the current rating methods. In this paper the results of a group of tests for dry-running Nylon against Nylon gears, available in the literature, are compared against VDI 2736. The bending fatigue life obtained from the tests was found to agree well with the VDI 2736 calculated value at a specific torque but exceed it for higher torques. Further results are required before any strong conclusions can be made about the applicability of VDI 2736 for calculating Nylon root strength fatigue life. Having VDI 2736 implemented in MASTA will help significantly with future validation as further experimental results become available.
