Bending Fatigue Failure. For more information about the difference between low cycle fatigue and high cycle fatigue, take a look at our our website.
Do your gearboxes bend and fatigue? Well, this is a major sign that your gearbox could be failing! Low cycle fatigue is a failure that occurs after less than 10,000 cycles of applied load. This is a sign that your gearbox has high levels of stress. High cycle fatigue is a failure after 10,000 cycles and its stress is much less than the average gearbox. You know your gearbox is bending when cracks start initiating and propagating. This site can help you figure out how to keep your gearbox in good shape!
