   17.4.3.L Tooth Flank Load Distribution Factor, KHb  
   Factors are listed in Tables 17-25 and 17-26. If the gear and pinion are unhardened, the factors are to be reduced to 90% of the values in the table.

Stiffness of Shaft, Gear Box, etc. Both Gears Supported On Two Sides One Gear Supported on One End Both Gears Supported on One End
Very Stiff 1.3 1.5 1.7
Average 1.6 1.85 2.1
Somewhat Weak 1.75 2.1 2.5

Very Stiff 1.3 1.5 1.7
Average 1.85 2.1 2.6
somewhat Weak 2.8 3.3 3.8
17.4.3.M Dynamic Load Factor, Kv 
The dynamic load factor can be obtained from Table 17-24.

17.4.3.N Overload Factor, KO  
The overload factor can be computed by Equation 17-11 or found in Table 17-4.

17.4.3.O Reliability Factor, CR  
The general practice is to assume CR to be at least 1.15.

17.4.3.P Allowable Hertz Stress, sHlim 
The values of allowable Hertz stress are given in Tables 17-12 through 17-16.

17.4.4 Examples of Bevel Gear Surface Strength Calculation
   Tables 17-26A and 17-26B give the calculations of surface strength factors of Gleason straight bevel gears.
