AI Thread Summary

AGMA gear classification standards, particularly regarding classes and grades, are a key topic of discussion, with many still adhering to the AGMA 2000 standard despite the 2015 revisions. Class 16 is noted as having the tightest tolerance among AGMA gear classes, indicating its precision in manufacturing. Participants suggest reaching out to AGMA directly for clarification and detailed information. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these standards for proper gear selection and application. Engaging with AGMA staff can provide additional insights into the latest standards and tolerances.

Does anyone here have knowledge of AGMA Gear classification standards relating to classes or grades? I understand the AGMA std was revised in 2015 but many still follow the AGMA 2000 standard. Is Class 16 AGMA the tightest tolerance gear class?

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
