0:00 How is the design
0:02 of the ZK bevel gearbox series carried out?
0:04 The design is always carried out
0:05 in three steps.
0:06 The basis is always the
0:08 required or actually
0:09 prevailing
0:10 operating parameters of the customer.
0:12 That means which
0:13 speed, which torque
0:15 is to be transmitted, or
0:17 which ratio
0:18 is required.
0:19 These parameters are then supplemented
0:20 with service factors.
0:22 These describe the
0:23 application itself, the
0:24 switching frequency, the
0:26 temperature range.
0:27 With this final result, a simple
0:28 comparison can then be made
0:29 with the existing
0:30 performance tables
0:32 in our | documentation.
0:34 These support the
0:35 correct selection of the
0:36 right product.

For the design of a ZK bevel gearbox, operating parameters and service factors are required. Together they produce the final result, which is compared with the performance tables. The design is always carried out in three steps.

Which information describes the operating point?

The basis is always the required or actually prevailing operating parameters of the customer:

  • speed
  • torque to be transmitted
  • required ratio

Which information describes the operating conditions?

The parameters are supplemented with service factors. These describe:

  • the application itself
  • the switching frequency
  • the temperature range

What is the final result used for?

With the final result, a simple comparison can be made with the existing performance tables in the ZIMM documentation. These support the correct selection of the right product.
