Bevel Gears Generator dialog box - Calculation tab

This tab extends the Design tab. Calculates generator data based on selections in the Design tab Bevel of Gears Component Generator.

Access:

Ribbon: Design tab Power Transmission panel Bevel Gear and then click the Calculation tab.

Method of Strength Calculation

Select the method of a strength calculation type you want to use for your calculation. To open the strength calculation dialog box, click Factors at the bottom of the Calculation tab.

Note: The Factors dialog box is available for ANSI, ISO, DIN, and CSN calculations.

Loads

Input loads and calculate the strength proportions which calculate forces, moments, and speeds from the specified input power, number of revolutions, and gearing efficiency.

Material Values

Warning: Strength parameters of material are determined empirically and reflect minimum values applicable for a group of materials. Although these values are close to the values obtained using measurement of particular materials, we recommend you use parameters of material according to the material sheet or specifications of the producer in cases of final calculations.
Material	Specify your own material values or select a material from the Material Database.
	If a material is selected from the Material Database, its values are inserted into the following five edit fields, and the edit fields are locked. To unlock the field, clear the check box.
Bending Fatigue Limit/Endurance Limit	Allowable bending stress.
Contact Fatigue Limit/Surface Fatigue Strength	Specifies allowable contact stress.
Heat Treatment	Specifies the type of treatment in a separate dialog box.

Inputs

Required Life

Click the arrow next to the edit field to select the values from a table.

Factors

Opens the Factors dialog box to specify Factors.

Note: The Factors dialog box is available for ANSI, ISO, DIN, and CSN calculation.

Accuracy

Opens the Accuracy dialog box to specify accuracy values.
Standard	Specifies an accuracy standard you select from a list.
