APM Drive
software package for drive units of arbitrary 3D scheme consisting of gears and planetary gears calculation and design

Calculation types:

• Design
• Design with constraints
• Torque checking
• Longevity checking

APM Drive let:

• Locate shafts in 3D space
• Automatically and manual divide input/output ratio for each drive stage in design calculation
• Calculate drive unit kinematic parameters such as rotation frequency, gear ratio etc.
• Calculate drive unit energy parameters such as torque, power, efficiency etc.
• Perform design calculation of drive unit gears (including design with constraints)/li>
• Perform design and calculation of drive unit shafts
• Select and calculate bearings

Gear types:

• External spur
• External helical
• Herring-bone
• Internal spur
• Bevel with straight teeth
• Bevel with spiral teeth
• Worm gears of different types
• Planetary gears of three most used type

Frictionless bearing types:

1. Ball bearing

• Radial single-row
• Radial selfaligning double-row
• Radial thrust
• Thrust

2. Roller bearing

• Radial single-row
• Radial selfaligning double-row
• Radial thrust
• Needle
• Thrust

Shaft types

• Straight
• Stepped
• Tapered

Extra features:

• Drawing generation of any drive unit element
• Comprehensive data for any drive unit element
• Assembly drawing generation for some predefined drive unit schemes
• Customization for customer data and standards

APM Drive is integrated software.
