Abstract:  
In practical gear design, the speed factor is usually employed which is defined as a ratio of the allowable stredss at required running speed of the gear system to the stress at zero speed. At present, several expressions for the speed factor are recommended by several authorities; however, those are almost all empirical and not analytical. The present paper aims to contribute to an analytical determination of the speed factor for spur gears as stated below.
