Bevel Gear Rating Software
Bevel Gear Rating Software
(OP)
I'm looking for a good program that is user friendly to calcualte HP ratings of straight and spiral bevel gears. Straight bevels are manufactured using generating process. I have interest in both AGMA ratings as well as ISO/DIN ratings as I deal with US and European customers. Any suggestions?

The company called Involute Simulation Softwares has
sold bevel gear software.
Also Gleason has commercial gear software to sell.
Last Oct. at the Fall AGMA technical meeting, AGMA
demonstrated its Bevel gear software, which has a
similar apperance of the its cylindrical gear software.
I'll be very surprised that UTS does not have the bevel
gear rating software.
As a last resort, one can design the bevel gears using
hand calculations based on the just released AGMA two
bevel gear standards.

According to the person at UTS, they do not have a bevel gear program to sell. They can run calculations, but no canned software. Gleason, from my understanding is very pricy.
I have the trial version of KISSSoft and I am giving it a try. It fills my void for ISO/DIN ratings for european customers, but does not have the ability for AGMA right now.
I'll check out the Involute Simulation Software.

It is extremely difficult to come up with a rating when even the geometry is not clearly defined.
The other issue is that software makers do not see a lucrative market for this problem at this time.
