I'm a little confused with this equation. What is FTooth? Is that supposed to be the force applied to the tooth, (in other words, FTooth=Torque/GearRadius?)

Also, by using this equation, does it mean that the speed at which the gear is turning does not have bearing upon the amount of stress applied to the gear?


Thanks for the help!
