Gear Design Pro

The Gear Design Pro module defines geometry of gears and gear pairs and rates the gears according to ISO and other widely recognised standards.

Spur and Helical

Features include :-

  • Involute internal and external spur and helical gear geometry

  • ISO 6336 and AGMA 2001 – D 04 rating

  • Tolerances to ISO 1328 and AGMA 2015 Standardized tooth proportions or calculate for maximum contact ratio

  • Plots and export of gears in 2D and 3D including micro-geometry

  • Measurement over balls and chordal span including contact height

  • Material database (including user defined)

  • SN fatigue curve plots

  • Metric or Imperial (English) units

The “Generic” bevel gear

Generic bevel refers to the fact that the geometry is not specific to a machine process but is the true theoretical form of the gear with full line conjugation between components without any virtual back plane approximations. The spiral types can be defined as straight, logarithmic (equal angle), circular, or involute. In addition, typical modifications such as profile crowning, face crowning, and slope can be applied to modify the load bearing pattern shape and position. If there is a requirement for small batch then these forms can be produced on modern 5-Axis CNC milling machines. Face milling or face hobbing gear generating machines are not required.
