Default report templates for calculating gearing placed in a folder
C:\Program Files\Nanosoft\nanoCAD Mechanica 23\Reports Templates\
The calculation is made on the basis of GOST 21354-87 (hereinafter - the Standard) "Cylindrical gears involute external engagement for strength calculation.". The standard establishes the basic design according to the definition of the contact strength of the active surfaces of the teeth and tooth strength at bending metal cylindrical involute external gear transmission for general industrial applications with source circuit in accordance with GOST 13755-81, modulus m / 1 mm, working with lubrication oil at peripheral speeds v<=25 m/s.
Methods for rendering the gear
Designing gear can begin in any sequence. What to do in the first place - the calculation or drawing gear - it does not matter.
The wheels that were drawn without calculation, it is always possible to adjust the results of the calculation. All geometry is adjusted automatically.
Approaches to the design of the gear in nanoCAD Mechanica 23:
1. Draw gear without calculation by entering the wheel settings dialog.
2. To calculate the gear and the results of calculation render mesh.
3. To calculate the transmission stage and assign the result to the transfer were drawn without prior calculation.
4. Use the template file with the initial data on the calculated transmission gear stages and drawn by the circuit of the gearbox. By changing the raw data calculation, to update the geometry file template steps gears.
Drawing wheels (gears) without calculating
We choose to base parts of the gear pattern.
We define the insertion point and the direction of its rendering.
You can enter the desired design parameters designed wheels dialog. The default render wheel without calculation.
Personal application assembly dependencies on a pair of gearing on the calculated spacing.
Drawing engagement of calculations
1. We choose to base parts of the gear pattern.
2. We define the insertion point and the direction of its rendering.
3. Since the calculation is done, select the desired calculation from the dropdown list.
4. Specify which element engagement render on the results of the calculation (wheel or gear) and click OK.
5. After drawing one element command remains active. To complete it, click with the ESC key.
To assemble the wheels and gears on the calculated spacing options use gearing and Remove gearing.
How to set the point of insertion of the gear?
After selecting a template nanoCAD Mechanica 23 prompts you to specify the insertion point and the direction of drawing of the selected type wheel.
If the drawing already has a shaft portion, which is supposed to place the wheel, the insertion point is automatically determined by the aperture of the shaft portion of the highlighted cursor pointer.
The approach to the calculation of gear
Gear is regarded as an independent object, for which the specified power and kinematic characteristics of the input or output.
Gear is an element of the designed gear. Pre-selection is carried out of the engine is determined by the overall gear ratio is carried out by a breakdown of the gear ratio gear stage determined power and kinematic characteristics of the gears of the individual stages.
In the proposed algorithm, the requirements of GOST completely soaked.
According to the calculation results can be obtained:
· geometrical characteristics of the gear train designed;
· data to monitor the accuracy of the gears;
· data to estimate the gear strength (allowable and actual voltage as in the contact and bending endurance calculation teeth, and the teeth in the calculation of the maximum load on the action);
· degree of loading gear on these kinds of stresses.
Estimator (a program for calculating the gear) allows you to perform two types of calculations:
· designing new gear for a given load, durability, desired gear ratio and other parameters;
· check the specified gear strength.
In the first case, the estimator first transfer designs (in our version - on the basis of conditions to ensure contact strength), that is, defines all of its geometric characteristics, including module and spacing, and then to check on the strength of all kinds of stress.
In the estimator of the second embodiment is not used for design, but only for testing the strength of the transmission, the geometric characteristics of which are already known or pre-defined.
For the two types of calculations in the dialog box Calculations toothed cylindrical gear are two options provided for data input:
Each type has its own form of payment report with its source data and its own characteristics of presentation of calculation results as well as its report templates.

The user can edit any of the selected characteristics of the material, but it should be borne in mind that some of them change must be accompanied by a change in the other. In particular, the limit of endurance in bending teeth, corresponding to the basic number of stress cycles for normalized, improved nitrided and wheels, as well as the base value limit stress teeth flexural maximum load for normalized and improved gear depends on the hardness of the teeth.
Therefore, changing the hardness of the wheel teeth with a chemical-thermal treatment, need to change their performance and durability. If you are not sure of the correctness of the total introduced to them changes, to edit the properties of the material is better to use filling material properties dialog box (see. below).

For example, click on the New button opens a dialog box material properties of the material. For the correct insertion of a new material in the base must be filled in all the fields of the window.
In the field of material input parameters are copied to the properties of the previously selected metal. Thus, the user is given the opportunity to create its database in relation to specific production and technological capabilities of the enterprise.
All fields of the material properties of a window can be filled by the user immediately. However, given that in accordance with GOST limits contact endurance and stamina for bending at various thermochemical treatment of steels defined by different dependencies, at this stage it is advisable to fill the database go to the next dialog box, activating the button Select ...
The corresponding filling material properties dialog box (the button Select ...) allows you to select the characteristics of aggregated groups of materials and thermochemical treatment (upper left field of the window).
These can then be clarified in relation to specific groups of steels (bottom left margin of the window) and see the calculated values ??of the respective limits of endurance (Recommended field).
We have already said that strength characteristics of the gears of the normalized and improved, as well as nitrided steels depend on the hardness of the teeth. Therefore, in determining the strength characteristics of gears exposed to these types of chemical and thermal hardening, in advance, before calling the dialog box Filling material properties in the Properties dialog box material required hardness of the teeth must be installed.
In this case, the parameters and in the "Filling the properties of the material" will match hardness adopted.

Degree of accuracy GOST 1643-81
The two-stage and three-stage gear units can be run on deployed or coaxial. In simple circuits deployed, each stage consists of a pair of gears. The disadvantage of such schemes - an uneven load distribution between the bearings, so that the resulting deformation of shafts occurs the load concentration along the length of the tooth, causing the need for a shaft with high rigidity.
This disadvantage is eliminated by using bifurcated stages. Preferably in the two-stage gear as forked use a high-speed, and in the three-stage - the intermediate stage.
The large width of a low-speed stage in these cases does not cause a significant load concentration along the length of the tooth due to the symmetrical arrangement of gears with respect to the supports.
