The table shows the general procedure to design the gear box.

Steps Particular Details
Step 1 Given data Power, speeds, reduction ratio, application, design/checking criteria, gear profile, material, design stresses, etc.
Step 2 Assumptions Meshing, Pressure angle, gear profile, structure, manufacturing method, service factor
Step 3 Material section/properties/FOS/ design stresses From PSG select the material, write
$\sigma_{w}, \sigma_{y},\left[\sigma_{b}\right] \left[\sigma_{\mathrm{c}}\right], \mathrm{BHN}, $
Young's modulus (steel - 2 $\times 10^{5} \mathrm{MPa} \mathrm{CI}-1.8 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{MP} \mathrm{a}$ ) etc.
Step 4 Gear pair dynamics Reduction ratio, speeds, no. of teeth, form factor, angular velocity, torque, empirical relations of gear pair
Step 5 Strength factor calculation To decide weaker element
Step 6 Design decision Pinion or gear to be designed (weaker element)
Step 7 Design criteria and module calculation Bending/Wear/Surface contact strength
Step 8 Checking criteria Bending/Wear/Surface contact strength
Step 9 Other dimensions Find other important dimensions of gears
Step 10 Gear blank construction Design pinion and gear blanks, shaft, key etc.
