AGMA 218.01, a withdrawn December 1982 standard, established foundational methodologies for calculating pitting resistance and bending strength of cylindrical spur and helical involute gears. It introduced critical revisions to load sharing, life factors, and geometry factors, and was eventually replaced by ANSI/AGMA 2001-B88 and subsequent revisions. Information regarding the status of this standard can be reviewed at Intertek Inform American Gear Manufacturers Association ANSI/AGMA 2001-D04
