Grobaulegung und Unwuchtanrohrung for the wave calculation

05.07.2017 | When dimensioning shafts, it is possible to determine the shaft dimensions in terms of strength and Rolling regarding bearing life through the software of KISSsoft This speeds up the design of a gearbox considerably.

In this case, specifications can be made according to which priorities the design should take place. The wavelength can be automatically adapted to the dimensions of the bearings and gears.

For the Vibration calculation The unbalance excitation due to an eccentric mass can now be taken into account in the shaft. The results are the resonance frequencies and the deformation of the shaft - and also the additional bearing forces that arise due to the unbalance. The damping values can be specified individually to realistically calculate the vibration.

Calculate toothed shaft profiles according to DIN, ISO or ANSI

GWJ splined shaft profiles 05.09.2012 | GWJ Technology presents a significantly expanded version of the calculation module for splined shaft connections within its web-based software for gear calculation for gear transmissions “eAssistant" in front. So far, the calculation of splines was supported by DIN 5480. In addition, an individual geometry definition is possible. The calculation for splined shaft connections according to ISO and ANSI 4156 B92.2 is now integrated.

In addition to the Flank centering Diameter centering for DIN 5480 has been added. The calculation of splined shaft connections according to DIN 5482 is now also available. Although this standard can no longer be used for new designs, it is still used and in demand for spare parts due to its widespread use.

In addition to these extensions for the Profile geometries it is possible to switch the tolerance standard. In addition, the tooth thickness dimensions can be selected for the "actual" or "effective" state. This is then automatically taken into account in the tooth form calculation and output as well as in the calculation of the test dimensions such as tooth width dimensions via the number of measuring teeth or the diametrical roller and ball dimensions. Tooth form output via 2D DXF is also available for all of the geometry extensions mentioned. 3D model generation via the e Assistant CAD plug-ins is also possible.

In the strength calculation of the bearing ratio factor on the user's preference is now displayed on the user interface with. In addition, these can be set individually as required.

Splined shaft connections according to DIN and DIN 5481 5482

Kisssoft Din 5481 02.11.2010 | Due to widespread requests from industry, the splined shaft connections were DIN 5481 and DIN 5482 implemented in Kisssoft by Kisssoft.

The different Connections from these standards can be called up directly as files (MPK module). The user can now enter the "effective and actual tolerances" here as well.

Thus, in today's manufacturing process adjust the tolerances precisely to the desired joint play, which serves to avoid excessive tolerances, which were previously necessary due to relatively large form defects.

The newly available tooth shape function with straight flanks (Z5n), the serration shaft profile of DIN 5481 can also be exactly displayed and graphically exported.
