Gearbox Dimensioning and Calculations

This document discusses the dimensioning of gearboxes. It describes: 1. The connection methods for different gearbox stages, including a glued connection for the first sun gear and a press fit connection for the second sun gear. 2. Calculations for the lifetime of ball bearings in the gearbox, including the radial load, speed, and load rating of the bearings. 3. Performing calculations in KISSsys to optimize gear parameters and define the structure, efficiency, ratios, inertia, backlash, and rated torque of the gearbox.

 Safety factor: S = C � zul
τT
 τzul : permitted torsional stress (26.5 N/mm2, Loctite 648)
 τT : working torsional stress
 C: constant factor (clearance, temperature, materials, alternating stress,…)
 Datasheet: max. torque for one-stage gearboxes
Failed motor shaft connection

Press fit of the second sun gear (KISSsoft, DIN 7190)


 Definition of the tolerances
 Dimensioning for plastic deformation of shaft and hub
 Tightest fit: smallest hole of the carrier and biggest shaft diameter
 Calculation of the safety factors for both parts
 Dimensioning for slide through
 Loosest fit: biggest hole of the carrier and smallest shaft diameter
 Calculation of the safety factor
 Datasheet: max. torque of two-stage gearboxes Failed press fit

Known:
FB,r Fr
 Radial load: Fr = 306 N
 Speed of output shaft: n = 100 rpm
 Distance between ball bearings: a = 8 mm
 Distance between ball bearing A and radial load: b = 14 mm
FA,r
 Ball bearing NSK 608 DU:
 dynamic load rating C = 3300 N Sketch for lifetime calculation (GP42)
 static load rating C0 = 1370 N

Unknown:
 Lifetime L10h

Calculation:
 Radial load @ A: FA,r = Fr·(a+b)/a = 306·22/8 = 841.5 N
 Equivalent load: P = FA,r = 841,5 N
 Lifetime: Lh10 = (C/P)3·106/n/60 = (3300/841,5)3·106/100/60 = 10.000 h
 Datasheet: max. radial load Fr Custom solution (GP42)
