Helical gear calculation with Kisssoft

The gear calculation in Kisssoft covers all common gear types such as spur, bevel, hypoid, worm, beveloid, crown and helical gears.

In the Kisssoft release 2021, new graphics are available for the helical gear calculation: The evaluation graphic for specific sliding is calculated and displayed based on the geometry of a straight-toothed replacement spur gear. A visual evaluation of the tooth mesh in 2D is now also possible for axis crossing angles not equal to 90°. For this purpose, parallel sections to the central axis plane of the worm are calculated and displayed. This 2D geometry is displayed using the "Gear mesh in sections" function. The option "Determine form circles dFf and dFa from the tooth form" is also available for selection.

With the help of the fine sizing function in KISSsoft, the best variants for helical gear stages can also be found with specified, definable boundary conditions. After entering the target ratio, normal modulus, pressure angle, helix angle, center distance and profile shift factor, all possible solutions are calculated and displayed.

All variants found are listed classified according to various criteria such as transmission accuracy, overlap, strength factors, weight, axial forces, etc. The list can be extended or reduced by the user if additional or fewer individual results of a solution are to be displayed.
