Beam Strength of Gear Tooth evaluator uses Beam Strength of Spur Gear Teeth = Module of Spur Gear*Face Width of Spur Gear Tooth*Lewis Form Factor for Spur Gear*Bending Stress in Spur Gear Teeth to evaluate the Beam Strength of Spur Gear Teeth, Beam Strength of Gear Tooth is the strength of the bear tooth considered as a cantilever beam. The tangential component of force on the tooth causes the bending moment about the base of the tooth. So actually the beam strength of the maximum value of the tangential force that the tooth can transmit without bending failure. Beam Strength of Spur Gear Teeth is denoted by Sb symbol.
How to evaluate Beam Strength of Gear Tooth using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Beam Strength of Gear Tooth, enter Module of Spur Gear (m), Face Width of Spur Gear Tooth (b), Lewis Form Factor for Spur Gear (Y) & Bending Stress in Spur Gear Teeth (σb) and hit the calculate button.
