One of the possible mechanisms of gear failure is related to the cyclic loading and, consequently, the fatigue occurrence. The onset of fatigue failure occurs due to stress intensifiers and it is generally observed on the fillet (bending fatigue) or on the tooth surface contact region (contact fatigue). Gear fatigue evaluation is usually carried out by test rigs, which are expensive. An alternative method of contact fatigue test of gears is evaluated in this work, which consists of balls rolling on a plane (specimen). Two groups of specimens were manufactured to obtain surface characteristics and properties like gears tooth's surface: a) without shot-peening and b) with shot-peening. The different features of specimens were tested by using an in house developed equipment to evaluate the rolling contact fatigue, which occurs on gears on its diametral pitch. Results indicate the occurrence of two failure modes: pitting and spalling, however, the equipment showed to be unable to monitor the occurrence of pitting. Also, the shot-peened group specimens presented lower fatigue life resistance for the analyzed conditions, which are not in agreement with previous rig tests. Some hypotheses were discussed to provide justifications related to the obtained results.
