American ANSI/AGMA 6010-F97
National [Revision of ANSI/AGMA 6010-E88]
Standard Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the require-
ments for due process, consensus and other criteria for approval have been met by the
standards developer.
Consensus is establishedwhen, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review,
substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests.
Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily
unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a
concerted effort be made toward their resolution.
The use of American NationalStandards is completely voluntary; their existence does not
in any respect predude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from
manufacturing, marketing, purchasing or using products, processes or procedures not
conforming to the standards.
The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no
circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no
person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretationof an American National

tation of this standard should be addressed to the American Gear Manufacturers
Association.

ABSTRACT
This standard includes design, rating, lubrication, testing and selection information for spur, helical, herring-
bone and bevel gears when using enclosed speed reducers or increasers. Units covered include those with a
pitch line velocrty below 7000 feet per minute or rotational speeds no greater than 4500 rprn.

ANSI/AGMA 6010-F97 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD
Foreword
r h e foreword, footnotes and annexes, if any, in this document are provided for
informational purposes only and are not to be construed as a part of ANWAGMA Standard
601O-F97, Standard forSpur, Helical, Herringbone and Bevel Enclosed Drives.]
This standard presents general guidelines and practices for design, rating (including
catalog rating) and lubrication of enclosed gear drives and is a revision to and supersedes
ANSI/AGMA 6010-E88, Standard for Spur, Helical, Herringbone and Bevel Enclosed
Drives.
This standard was revisedto includethe latest data available using current gear technology
and includes operational experience. Also, this revision conforms to the American Gear
ManufacturersAssociation style manual. This standard is written in conventional units while
the parallel standard, ANWAGMA 6110-F97, is available in hard metric.
The allowable stress numbers used in this standard are derived from ANWAGMA
2001-C95 and ANWAGMA 2003-A86, and along with other rating factors, provide a rating
basis for enclosed gear reducers and increasers. The rating formulas are based on many
years of experience in the design and application of enclosed gear drives for industrial use.
The allowable stress numbers used by this standard are adjusted by the factors ZN and YN
for the required number of cycles of operation. In previous versions of this standard, a CL
and & value of unity has been allowed. Deviations from ANSVAGMA 2001-C95 or
ANWAGMA 2003-A86 are not recommended unless they can be justified. The use of the
stress cycle adjustment factor does not guarantee that a certain number of hours or
revolutions of life will be obtained, but is a method of approximating gear life under different
load and speed conditions.
The most significant changes in this standard include: information on obtaining ratings by
direct reference to the empirical methods in ANWAGMA 2001-C95 and ANWAGMA
2003486; references to the necessary additional standards; a uniform selection method
by specifying a nominal LI life for the gearing of 10 O00 hours; and a refinement of the
thermal rating practice.
The competence to design enclosed gear drives, especially the knowledge and judgment
required to properly evaluate the various rating factors, comes primarily from years of
experience in designing, testing, manufacturing and operating similar gear drives. The
proper application of the general rating formulas for enclosed gear drives is best
accomplished by those experienced in the field.
There is a need for a thorough knowledge and use of the safety, service and application
factors. Application factors will represent actual loadings or will be replaced by a load

spectrum analysis such as Miner’s Rule.
Work was started on this draft in Decemberl991. This version was approved by the AGMA
membership in June 1997. It was approved as an American National Standard on
October 2,1997.
Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They should be sent to the
American Gear Manufacturers Association, 1500 King Street, Suite 201, Alexandria,
Virginia 22314.

IOTES:
Crane drives are to be selected based on gear tooth bendingstrength. Contact gear manufacturerfor strength
atings. Service factor in durability should be a minimum of 1.O.
9 Service factors for paper mill applicationsare applied to the nameplate rating of the electric drive motor at the
notor rated based speed.
Anti-friction bearings only. Use 1.5 for sleeve bearings.
I) A service factor of 1.O0 may be applied at base speed of a super calender operating over-speed range of part
ange constant horsepower, part range constant torque where the constant horsepower speed range is greater than
I .5 to 1. A service factor of 1.25 is applicableto super calenders operating over the entire speed range at constant
orque or where the constant horsepowerspeed range is less than 1.5 to 1.
