Three different types of forces act on gears and bearings in a gearbox. They are gravitational forces, frictional forces, and contact forces. The most significant are contact forces, due to the magnitude of the contact stresses that these forces are generating on the surfaces of the moving parts during operation. Contact force occurs when the…
