Gear Up #6: Learn how to efficiently design an optimized gearbox

New white paper: From concept to optimized gearbox in just a few steps

Our latest white paper focuses on the efficient development of drives. Using a fan gearbox as an example, it shows how?the use of the FVA-Workbench optimizes the process and significantly reduces personnel costs.

The White Paper provides detailed insights into:

• Concept design: Selection of the gearbox type, stages, and ratio distribution.
• Optimization: Refinement of the gear geometry and calculation of the load capacity.
• Bearing selection: ISO standard checks to ensure long-term reliability.
• Load capacity validation: Verification?of shafts and shaft-hub connections.
• Adaptation of designs: Adaptation for several operating conditions using the example of a high starting torque to prevent damage.
