Gear Pro and Gleason

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows of or if it even exists. An index or glossary of abbreviations from Gleason for gearing that translate into Gear Pro. The gearing drawings I work with do not have these, and I've noticed the verbiage is different between Gear Pro and what I am working with. I've been told by the engineers our gearing is The Gleason Works and the secrets end there. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Lou

Lou,

are you reffering to Bevel Gears ?

specifically bevel gear summaries?

For reference we use Gleason G-AGE to run bevel gears directly from G-AGE then hands off to Gear Pro which starts the Calypso program automatically.

You can program bevel gears with a minimum amount of data from a gleason summary.

Sprial bevel are a bit more challenging to set up but can be done.

Other than bevels, any standard gear should be able to be input with logical data from any source.

Thanks,

Thanks Chris. Yeah I was referring Involute and Bevel gears. I have generated bevel gears. It's definitely not pretty. I am just trying to look for more data or at least learn a little bit more about interrupting the data........ I guess.

for what its worth Zeiss offers a free Gear Pro app in Play store and App store.

For other symbols to help translate I would say AGMA 2015 spec should match Gleason symbology/terminology.

What items were you specifically stuck on ?

Thanks Chris, LOL didn't realize there was an app for that! I'm trying to translate the data from our blue prints to Gear Pro. The company I work for relies heavily on gearing yet the info that is available to inspect is vague. I've been told our gearing is from The Gleason Works but the data on the blue prints doesn't have any abbreviations, and whatever descriptions there are for the gearing data doesn't match Gear Pro. I think our engineering over sees tried putting there own stamp on the gearing data and used different terminology. The engineers I work with know little about gearing and the head gearing guy in India is quitting next week.
So emails have been sent trying to find this info. Not an ideal situation!

Hi Lou,
Since your terminology is "Gleason" related I will assume you are referring to bevel gear(s). As Chris said, asking for specific terms you are having trouble with would help us give you a better answer. In the meantime, this may give you some insight into the way gear terms translate from English to German:
