Abstract
The effects of some of the factors which influence fatigue strength of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) filled cast nylon (type 6) gears such as diametral pitch, pressure angle, pitch line velocity, stress level, and lubrication were investigated. It was found that nylon gears, when properly designed and installed, are subject to minimal wear. Premature failures do occur through tooth interference caused by thermal expansion, tooth deflection and creep of the material. The importance of a proper backlash is discussed. Design capacities of nylon gears using formula and tables are presented.
