SUMMARY

The discussion centers on AGMA Gear classification standards, specifically regarding Class 16 tolerances and grades. Participants confirm that the AGMA standard was revised in 2015, but many still adhere to the AGMA 2000 standard. Class 16 is indeed recognized as one of the tightest tolerance gear classes within the AGMA framework. For further clarification, contacting AGMA directly is recommended.

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?
