BevGear

Application for the calculation of Bevel Gears

BevGear Flash

BevGear supports the calculation of

  • the dimensioning of bevels
  • the geometry of bevels according to standard ISO 23509
    • straight bevels metric and Gleason system
    • skew bevels
    • spiral bevels Gleason face milling and Klingelnberg face hobbing
    • spiral bevels Klingelnberg cone hobbing
    • hypoids Gleason and Kingelnberg
  • the measurement of bevels
  • the tooth- and reaction forces in bearings
  • the load capacity according to standard ISO 10300-1,2,3

User Interface

BevGear is an application running under Microsoft Windows operating system. The user can choose the language for the interface and output among following list:

  • Dutch
  • English
  • French
The user interface is build with standard Windows components and is very intuitive to use.

Identification of a Calculation Project

At the start of a calculation project a dialog box is being opened for input of some data for the identification of the project, such as: order, project, subproject, item, ID pinion and gear, calculated by, organization, calculation date and a short note about the project.

Following tooth forms are supported by the application:

Straight bevels Gleason Metric and Inch System
Skew bevels Metric System
Spiral bevels Gleason metric and inch system, Klingelnberg system
Hypoids Gleason- and Klingelnberg system

The tooth form is selcted by a click with the mouse on a radio button as shown in dialog box underneath:

Tooth Form Selection Dialog

To keep the bevel geometry chapter short, only the tooth form Spiral Gleason Metric System will be treated as example in above dialog.

Theoretical Basic Rack

The pressure angle and the tooth proportion coefficients are to define. The coefficients are related to the module or diametral pitch and are specific for the selected tooth form. The application specifies which coefficients are required for input. Input as in next dialog box:
