Although there is a great deal of information about parallel shaft fine-pitch gearing in the
literature, it is widely scattered and a considerable number of areas are not well covered. As
a result, this manual has been compiled to provide a central source of the best information
available on the design, manufacture and inspection of fine-pitch gearing.
This manual is a revision of 370.01, Design Manual for Fine Pitch Gearing, 1973. Additions
have been made to the design section to broaden the concepts of gear theory and the gear
design process. Omitted from this Manual are wormgears, bevel gearing and face gearing
which appeared in the original design manual. This information is available in other AGMA
Standards.
An important feature of this manual is the bibliography to which the user is referred for
additional data in each area.
Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They should be sent to the
American Gear Manufacturers Association, 1500 King Street, Suite 201, Alexandria,
Virginia 2231 4.
