ANWAGMA 2000-ASS, Gear Classification and Inspection Handbook
The following editorial corrections have been made to ANSIIAGMA 2000-A88, Gear CZassi,fication and
Inspection Handbook, (originally printed March, 1988 and September, 1988).
These changes are in addition to those noted in the Errata issued in January, 1989.
Upon complete review and ballot, the active members of the AGMA Inspection and Handbook Commit-
tee have decided that the transverse plane is where the tooth thickness tolerance is applied. This changes
the word "normal" to the word "transverse" on page 15 in the second line of the definition for Tooth
Thickness Variation, and on page 35 in the third line of paragraph 6.2.4.
Additional corrections were also discovered:

FOREWORD

[The foreword, footnotes, and appendices are provided for informational purposes only, and should
not be construed asa part of American Gear ManufacturersAssociation Standard 2000-A88, Gear
Classification and Inspection Handbook.]
This Handbook provides tolerances for different gear quality levels from Q3 to Q15 for unassembled
spur and helical gears. It further describes methods and practices for measuringthe various gear elements
for which tolerances are provided. Applicable definitions are provided.
The purpose is to provideacommonbasis for specifyingquality, and for the procurement of
unassembledgears. It is not adesignmanualfordetermining the specificqualitylevelsforagiven
application. It is not intended for use as a reference in procurement of enclosed drives.
The AGMA Standard 390.03 was publishedin 1973 asaconsolidation and updating of several
withdrawn AGMA publications, including:
AGMA 235 (Feb., 1966), Information Sheet for Master Gears
.O2
AGMA 239.01 (Oct., 1965), Measuring Methods and Practices Manual for Control of Spur, Helical
and Herringbone Gears
AGMA 239.01A (Sept., 1966), Measuring Methods and Practices Manual for Control of Bevel and
Hypoid Gears, and parts of
AGMA 236.04(05), Inspection of Fine-Pitch Gears
AGMA 390.02 (Sept., 19641, GearClassification Manual originallypublishedasAGMA 390.01
” (1961)
Data was added for Gear Rack and Fine-Pitch Worms and Wormgears. The former separate sections
of AGMA 390.02 for Coarse-Pitch and Fine-Pitch spur, Helical and Herringbone Gearingwas blended to
offer a single, compatible classification system The tolerance source identifier “Q” was added to indicate
that the tolerances in 390.03 apply. If Q is not used as a prefix in the quality number, tolerances in
AGMA 390.01 and 390.02 apply.
This Handbook is an update of those sectionsfromAGMA 390.03 forparallelaxisgears only.
Additionally, the formulas have alsobeen developed to derive the tolerances in metric terms. The format
of the tolerance tables has been revisedforimproved presentation butbasic tolerance levels are
unchanged from AGMA 390.03. The other material in AGMA 390.03 on Bevels, Racks and Worms is
not covered here, and is left unchanged in AGMA 390.03.
A revision of 390.03 was initiated by a joint panel of representatives of AGMA and General Motors
Corporation, meeting from 1975 to 1977. Subsequently, it was revised by personnel of the AGMA Gear
Classification Handbook Committee as AGMA 2000. This version was approved by AGMA membership
in January 1988 and as a American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard on March 3 1, 1988* .
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 22314.

* For the convenience of the reader, t h i s Standard has been published on colored paper. Appropriate
Sections in conventional units of measure are in yellow; SI (metric) in rose; and common material in
white. The Appendices are inblue.

NOTES:
(1) When considering master gears withfewer than 20 teeth, check with the manufacturer regarding
calibration and use.
(2) Whenacomposite check is specified,itbecomesnecessary to composite check thismaster with
another master of like or higher quality class. Unless it isclearly stated that the master must have a
total-composite-tolerance level,Classes 1 through 3 shallbe considered acceptable on the basis of
gear-tooth element checks only. Class 4 can only be accepted on the basis of both composite check and
the gear-tooth-element check as described above.
(3) Classification shall be by composite tolerance in this area.
(4) Not applicable to 100 pitch and finer. The profile tolerances shown are total band width tolerance
(see Note 1 and Table 8-1).
( 5 ) FIM. Full Indicator Movement. Gear runout is over one pin.
(6) Predicated on the allowance of an additional 0.0001 inch for end relief at either end of the face;
however, 80 percent central face shall be within the tolerance shown.
(7) Circular Tooth Thickness. It is the responsibility of the mastergear manufacturer to provide an
outside diameter and a testing radiusbased upon the actual tooth thickness as determined by an over pins
measurement. This outside diameter shall be calculated to contact the inspected gear at its profile control
diameter at maximum tooth thickness. (See the method of calculation for MasterGears in Appendix G.)

Lead, as a term used for
helical

for one complete turn of the gear. The lead of a
spurgear, therefore, is infinite. The lead of a
helical gear is commonly specified bythe angle of
inclination of the helix to the axis of rotation at a
specified diameter. Thishelixangle is normally
specified at the standard pitch diameter.
Tooth alignment variation
(formerly

temperature correction is to compute the effect of
the ambient temperature upon the Set-up parts
such as gage blocks, arbors, and pitch discs. Set
the indicator to read m e length (usually a plus
correction), compute the effect of the ambient
temperature upon the gears and mountings when
used, and lastly, correct the indicator(usually a
minus correction). A simplified example may help
to clarify t h i s latter correction. Assuming the
indicator has been set to read m e length, then
two known lengths, say M and G, would cause the
indicator to read:
