Drive design

According to the given kinematic scheme of the drive, the kinematic and power parameters (gear ratio, torque and speed) are divided into stages in automatic and interactive modes.

In addition, in the process of preparing for the calculation, you must specify:

• drive loading mode (constant or variable);
• heat treatment of gear material;
• shaft materials.

The results of the design calculation are:

• gear parameters (such as geometric dimensions, meshing forces, tool parameters for cutting and inspection, etc.);
• shaft designs and dimensions;
• geometric dimensions of rolling bearings selected from the database.

The parameters of each of the elements of the kinematic chain, adopted according to the results of the design calculation, can be edited to obtain more rational characteristics of the drive. In this case, it is assumed that the drive itself is made according to an expanded layout scheme, when all shafts are placed in the same plane.

For planetary gears, in addition to the usual strength calculations, the number of teeth is selected taking into account the fulfillment of the conditions of neighborhood, alignment and assembly.

When checking the calculation for a given geometry, you can calculate the output characteristics for an arbitrary placement of the shaft axes in space.
