For contact stress calculations of spur and helical gears, the Hertz equation can be used in combination with a model of load distribution along the line of contact. This load distribution is not uniform due to the changing rigidity of the pair of teeth along the path of contact and has decisive influence on the location and the value of the critical contact stress to consider for calculations. Moreover, the load distribution can be highly influenced for non-standard gearing conditions as the presence of undercut, enlarged tooth addendum or reduced center distance, often present in high transverse contact ratio gears. In this paper, a new calculation method of the contact stress of spur and helical gears with transverse contact ratio greater than 2 is developed. It is based on the Hertz equation and an enhanced model of load distribution, obtained from the minimum elastic potential criterion, suitable for non-standard gearing conditions. A complete study on the critical load conditions and the value of the critical contact stress has been carried out. As a result, a recommendation for pitting load capacity calculations is proposed.
