This paper investigates the characteristics of a gear system including contact stresses, bending stresses, and the
transmission errors of gears in mesh. The objective of this paper is to compare values of contact stress and dynamic analysis
obtained by theoretical hertz equation with the ANSYS result. A two stage spur gear box has been designed for material handling
application by manual calculation and then performs contact stress and dynamic Simulation to ensure its reliable working. The
results of the two-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis from ANSYS and theoretical results are well comparable.
Keywords: involute, spur gear, contact stress, dynamic analysis, finite element analysis.
