The load distribution factor K is used to consider the effects of the increase in local load due to uneven load distribution over the face width on the flank pressure.

If the load distribution across the face width is known from operational measurements or analyses, this can be done by entering the load distribution factor K.

If the load distribution factor Kis not entered, it is calculated according to AGMA 2003 using the load distribution modifier Kmb.
