Abstract

In this study, optimisation of speed gears for a tractor transmission was performed with KISSsoft software. Optimisation was carried out under three constraints. These constraints are input power-torque, volume for system in transmission and gear ratio for each speed. The purpose of this study was to optimize the module, face width, gear quality, centre distance, number of teeth, helix angle, addendum modification coefficient and pressure angle for each speed considering the constraints. Tooth bending stress, tooth contact stress, contact ratio and specific sliding were considered for evaluation during optimisation. Strength calculation of gear pairs which were optimized and defined all geometrical parameters with KISSsoft were also calculated with mathematical model indicated in ISO 6336. Then, the results were compared.
