SCOPE
This information sheet covers aerospace bevel gears for power, accessory and actuation applications. This information is to be used in conjunction with ANSI/AGMA 2003-C10 and ANSI/AGMA 2005-D03. This information sheet provides additional information unique to the aerospace environment.

FOREWORD
[The foreword, footnotes and annexes, if any, in this document are provided for informational purposes only and are not to be construed as a part of AGMA Information Sheet, 937-A12, Aerospace Bevel Gears.]

This information sheet was created by reviewing existing practices specific to aerospace bevel gearing. In general, this information sheet is a consolidation of the most common practices and standards currently in existence.

AGMA 431.01 was prepared by the Aerospace Gearing Committee. Its purpose was to correlate and record available data to serve as a guide in the design, fabrication and inspection of aircraft bevel gears used primarily for the transmission of power. It was released to the membership in December, 1960.

AGMA 937-A12 was developed to fill the void following the withdrawal of AGMA 431.01. AGMA 937-A12 expands the scope to include all applications of aerospace bevel gearing.

The first draft of AGMA 937-A12 was made in September, 2000. It was approved by the AGMA Technical Division Executive Committee in October 25, 2012.
