KISSsoft Tutorial-Cylindrical Gear Pairs

1 Task

This tutorial explains how to input data you already know for cylindrical gear pairs in the KISSsoft system.

You must therefore perform the following steps for an existing cylindrical gear pair:

1) Input the necessary data in KISSsoft

2) Verify it in accordance with ISO 6336

3) Document the results

1.1 Input data

The method you use to input the following data is described at the end of section 2 in this tutorial:

1.1.1 Power data

1.1.2 Geometry

1.1.3 Reference profile

2 Solution

2.1 Starting the software

Once you have installed and activated KISSsoft either as a test or licensed version, follow these steps to call the KISSsoft system. Usually you start the program by clicking "Start?Program Files?KISSsoft 03-2011?KISSsoft". This opens the following KISSsoft user interface:

Figure 2.1 Starting KISSsoft, initial window

2.2 Selecting a calculation

In the Modules tree window, select the "Modules" tab to call the calculation for cylindrical gear

pairs:

Figure 2.2 Calling cylindrical gear calculation

The KISSsoft input window then opens:

Figure 2.3 Input window: KISSsoft Cylindrical gear calculation

The following sections describe how to input parameters for the gear pair.

2.3 Gear Pair Geometry

In the "Basic data" tab, "Geometry" group, input the normal module (1.5 mm), pressure angle

(20°), helix angle (25°), center distance (48.9 mm), number of teeth (16/43), tooth widths (14/14.5 mm), profile shift coefficient (0.3215/. ..) and the quality (8/8). You cannot input a value for the profile shift of gear 2 directly because this value is calculated from the center distance and profile shift of the first gear.

However, you can click the Sizing buttonto size the value to match your requirements.
