- Determination of thermal capacity of multi-stage gearboxes according to ISO/TR 14179-2
- The power losses are calculated based on: gear meshes, bearings, and shaft seals.
- The heat dissipation is determined via the gearbox housing, the foundation, as well as the rotating shaft ends and couplings.
- The type of convection can be selected from a listbox:
- Free convection without thermal finning
- Forced convection without thermal finning
- Free convection with thermal finning
- Free convection and ventilated fin surface
- Free and forced convection with thermal finning
- Definition of the housing length, width, and height in the housing properties
- Specification of the average wall thickness, thermal conductivity, and ambient or oil operating temperature
- Various dimensioning functions
- The housing surface or the position of the housing on the foundation can be determined with a mouse click.
- Consideration of lubricant properties
- For heat dissipation through the foundation, the corresponding properties can be defined.
- Determination of the properties for free shaft ends and couplings
- Selection of rolling and plain bearings
- Different types of bearings: taper rolling bearings, cylindrical rolling bearings or deep groove ball bearings
- Selection of splash lubrication, injection into the point of engagement and disengagement
- Gear pair can be defined incl. module, facewidth, center distance or pressure angle
- The results include: gear data, power losses, heat dissipation, and thermal capacity
- The most important results are displayed in a results overview.
