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?

Assume that a 100m long (probably irrelevant) train travelling at 30m/s, with a mass of 100.000 Kg passes next to a man/woman of 100 Kg standing still at 1 m away from the track. Since air is massively displaced by the train, creating like a small vacuum/low pressure area next to its surface, I reckon a certain pull may be applied to anything the train passes by, so in this case a person. My question is very simple: this pull can be quantified by a force. Is this force enough to pull the...
