Gear is one of the most critical components in mechanical power transmission systems. The analytical methods for calculating gear contact stresses use Hertz’s equations, which were originally derived for contact between two cylinders. So, it’s necessary to develop and to determine appropriate models of contact elements, and to calculate contact stresses using ANSYS. In this work, the analysis of contact stresses under the application of different modules with the same moment on a spur gear. All spur gear models have been designed in SolidWorks. Analysis was performed in ANSYS by importing spur gear models to the Static structural component of the software. Contact regions were discretized finely in the software in order to replicate the real loading conditions. The contact stress equivalent (Von-mises stress) was obtained on various modules using the FEA solver. The results from the ANSYS software were then compared with Hertz contact stresses.
