New Technical Standards From AGMA

The American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) is pleased to release two new technical standards:

ANSI/AGMA 6001-E08, Design and Selection of Components for Enclosed Gear Drives

ANSI/AGMA 6101-E08, Design and Selection of Components for Enclosed Gear Drives

About the Standards

Serving as revisions of ANSI/AGMA 6001-D97, both variations of this standard outline the basic practices for the design and selection of components, other than gearing, for use in commercial and industrial enclosed gear drives.

Fundamental equations provide for the proper sizing of shafts, keys, and fasteners based on stated allowable stresses.

Other components are discussed in a manner to provide an awareness of their function or specific requirements.

These standards apply to the following types of commercial and industrial enclosed gear drives, individually or in combination:

• spur,
• helical,
• herringbone,
• bevel and
• worm.

How AGMA Sets Standards

AGMA’s 25 Technical Committees shape standards for the gear industry both in the United States and around the world. They address a wide range of critical gearing topics, from load capacity and lubrication to accuracy and inspection.

Because AGMA is the focal point within the United States for the development of ISO standards for gearing, the Technical Committees serve as Technical Advisory Groups on international documents germane to their fields of expertise.
