Tooth root load capacity
Investigation of gear strength in the tooth root area
1 General description
2 Analysis
The strength of your gears can be determined experimentally using pulsator test rigs (torque transmission at standstill) and gearbox test rigs (application-oriented dynamic operation). In addition, material investigations can serve to analyze damage causes by separating the influences of geometry and material. Powerful programs for numerical investigation are used for detailed analysis of the test results. On the one hand, programs for special gearbox types are available, and on the other hand, flexible tools for investigating any gearbox variants. As a result, you receive a statement on the load capacity of your gearing depending on the existing load conditions. 
3 Synthesis
Based on the analysis results, recommendations can be provided for the optimization of your gearing. This concerns the material side to the same extent as optimization of the geometry of the gearing and also of the gear body. Likewise, the influences of the remaining machine elements of the gearbox on the gearing can also be taken into account.
