The paper contains a strength analysis of gears in a dual-path gearing made of plastic. Calculations were carried out using Abaqus program by means of Finite Element Method (FEM). Due to the fact that the dual-path gearing had wheels with straight teeth, it was possible to simplify the calculations using two-dimensional models. In the carried out FEM analysis, stress distribution was determined on models of pinions and gears, paying particular attention to key points like teeth feet or their side surfaces. Conclusions obtained as a result of the analysis will make it possible to introduce conceivable changes in the structure of the designed gearing already at the stage of modelling. This will allow for significant time and financial savings in comparison to traditionally carried out experiments using physical models.
