Design of new gearbox concepts

Example gearbox concept development process

  1. Division of gear stages, determination of the number of teeth, transmission ratios, and gear geometry

  2. Evaluation of the noise excitation (NVH) based on the transmission error and the force excitation level

  3. Evaluation of the power loss with consideration of load-dependent and independent losses

  4. Load-bearing capacity assessment according to current standards and high-quality methods

  5. Gear modification design

Recalculation and optimization

Example gearbox concept optimization process

  1. Model design, including consideration of all cross-influences and stiffnesses
    (wheel bodies, housing, bearing stiffnesses, shafts, planet carriers, etc.)

  2. Analysis of premature failures, bearing damage, cylindrical and bevel gear damage, temperature influence, noise problems, loss optimization

  3. Recalculation of gear modifications

  4. Determination of efficiency characteristics

  5. Evaluation of the influence of tolerances and manufacturing stability

Automation of workflows

Automation of frequently recurring tasks

  1. Export of gear data and gear templates

  2. Export of GDE data for controlling measuring machines

  3. Connecting product databases with the FVA-Workbench

  4. Integration into automated calculation processes and HPC applications
