Dr. Ulrich Kissling, founder and managing director of KISSsoft since 1998, stepped down from his managerial role in July to partially transition to retirement. He studied Machine Engineering at the Swiss Technical University (ETH). As a gear expert, Dr. Kissling participates in different Work Groups of ISO for international standards.
Verification of a drive system should include all main elements of the system, which are gears, bearings, shafts, and depending on the application other parts such as screws, couplings, and connections. Gears are clearly the most complicated parts for verification, but in many cases, a gearbox failure has its origin in a shaft or bearing failure. The subject of this paper is to explain how verification of a drive system based on measured or simulated torque-speed-time data can be handled.
