 note = {Plastic gears have various merits such as silent running, self-lubrication, and so on, but they also have some demerits such as less load-carrying capacity and unsteady life time. In our sixty-two experiments, most of the failures of plastic gears were fractures of teeth from near pitch points. On basis of these results, a new design equation for bending strength, described by the bending stress at the pitch point, is proposed. In the equation, some coefficients: tooth thickness coefficient, load increasing factor, stress correction factor, etc., are introduced to realize higher load capacity economically by making the best use of the characteristics of plastic materials., Bulletin of JSME. 1986, 29(250), p.1326-1329},
