This research investigates the effects of the nominal load value on load distribution of simultaneously meshing gear teeth pairs, and on the involute gear load capacity. The research results presented in this article confirm that the nominal load value has a significant influence on the gear load capacity calculations. However, this influence is generally neglected in standard gear calculations, which can result in oversized gear dimensions. This can lead to inadequate gear designs in practice due to increased demand for reduced gear size and weight in modern machinery. The article provides a detailed description of the iterative numerical method developed in this research to support the modelling and analysis of load distribution in meshed gears using the finite-element method.
