Abstract
A shear gear arrangement with gear teeth on the bearing liner positioned to engage complementary teeth on a shear gear main body. The bearing liner is static, while the shear gear main body mounts on the rotating drive shaft. If a failure occurs, the drive shaft displacement causes the shear gear main body gear teeth to engage the bearing liner teeth, instantaneously loading the shear section of the shaft with a sufficient torque load to shear the section as designed.
