Gearbox ailures are not always related to predictedB-10 bearing lie and gear service actor calculations.Forensic analyses o gear and bearing ailures show that
only a ew o these ailures are the result o true atigue (B-10or basic gear rating). Many ailures, although atigue in basicorigin, are the result o other contributing actors, oten o suchmagnitude that they overshadow the basic gear and bearingrating considerations. Tereore, careul evaluation o the resultso orensic analysis must be given in the design o gearboxes toachieve the best gear and bearing perormance possible.

Te objective o this seminar is to provide a better understandingo various types o gears and bearings and educate the designer
