Load distribution factor

Symbol KHβ
Unit -
Attribute-ID transverse_load_factor_contact_stress_agma_2003
Numeric ID 9867
Value Type PMDouble

The load distribution factor KHβ is used to consider the effects of the increase in local load due to uneven load distribution across the face width on the flank pressure.

If the load distribution across the face width is known from operational measurements or analyses, this can be done by entering the load distribution factor KHβ.

If the load distribution factor KHβ is not entered, it is calculated according to AGMA 2003 using the load distribution modifier Kmb.
