What was the calculated transmitted load (Wt45) between gear 4 and gear 5 in the case study?
Explanation
Transmitted load is the tangential force at the gear pitch circle, which is calculated from the power being transmitted and the pitch-line velocity. This force is essential for stress analysis of the gear teeth and for force analysis on the shafts.
