What is Coupling and Gear Key Safety and Reliability Issues about?

and/or direction of rotation. Gear reliability has always been thought to be lower than driven machines or drivers but it is as high as those machines if gear mesh is properly designed, manufactured, aligned, and lubricated. Reliable gear operation is a testament to the gear designer, manufacturer, and field service engineer considering the high gear mesh frequencies, multiple bearings, gear spray, and bearing lubrication requirements. A typical speed increasing gear pinion with 12 teeth operating at 10,000 RPM experiences 2000 gear meshes per second! A final comment regarding gear reliability, avoid gears of two-piece construction. This is an older and cheaper design but has caused numerous failures in gears.
