Which condition promotes scuffing of gear teeth?

  • A.Breakdown of the oil film under high load and sliding
  • B.Excessive backlash, which allows the teeth to strike one another as the load is taken up during acceleration
  • C.Low temperature
  • D.An excessive quantity of oil within the casing, which is churned by the crown wheel and therefore overheats rapidly

Answer: A

When the film cannot separate the surfaces they weld locally and tear, producing the radial scratches characteristic of scuffing. Extreme pressure additives exist to prevent it. High temperature and heavy load are the promoting conditions. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
