is a technical report that provides a comprehensive framework for determining the thermal load-carrying capacity of industrial gear units . While structural strength often dictates gear design, the thermal limit—the power a gearbox can transmit without overheating—is equally critical to prevent lubricant degradation, scuffing, or component failure. Core Purpose and Scope
ISO/TR 14179-2:2001 is a copyrighted document and is typically not available for free legally. You can purchase the official PDF from several authorized distributors: ISO/TR 14179-2:2001 - Gears — Thermal capacity — Part 2
Calculations based on empirical data from bearing manufacturers' catalogs.
Heat generated by shaft seals and other rotating elements. 2. Heat Dissipation Paths It provides equations for how heat leaves the system:
Includes both load-dependent losses (related to tooth friction) and no-load (churning) losses.
Unlike ISO/TR 14179-1 , which focuses on a simplified analytical model for rating gear drives at a fixed 95 °C sump temperature, offers a more detailed approach that includes measurements on original gear units under practical conditions. Key Methodology: The Thermal Balance
