Gleason's special online event from April 26-28, 2022 is all about design, manufacturing and inspection of e-drive gears. KISSsoft will look at several aspects of gear design in an EV system environment.
KISSsoft Release 2022 will be launched in June. The beta release, available now, gives users a first impression of the new KISSsoft features and includes numerous new software functionalities.
It's more important than ever to understand the full system your individual components are going into. Here's the latest in how software developers are helping you do that.
A key part of gear design software development is customer feedback. With the right feedback, you can get your software developer to work for you to provide the most relevant features possible.
Reduced component weight and ever-increasing power density require a gear design on the border area of material capacity. In order to exploit the potential offered by modern construction materials, calculation methods for component strength must rely on a deeper understanding of fracture and material mechanics in contrast to empirical-analytical approaches.
A reader wonders about gears where the tops of the teeth are the bearing surface, as used in spur gear differentials. Do they require any special construction or processing?
Gear-loaded tooth contact analysis is an important tool for the design and analysis of gear performance within transmission and driveline systems. Methods for the calculation of tooth contact conditions have been discussed in the literature for many years. It's possible the method you've been using is underestimating transmission error in helical gears. Here's why.
