1 Calculation of gears in KISSsoft 10-2008
following AGMA6011-I03
1.1 Executive summary
AGMA6011 “Specification for High Speed Helical Gear Units” is a standard covering
different aspects of high speed gearboxes as gear rating, but also as lubrication,
vibrations, testing.
The chapter about gear rating is very short and refers basically to the specific AGMA
standard for gear rating, which is AGMA 2101 (metric) or AGMA 2001 (imperial).
This technical report describes how a gear rating has to be performed using KISSsoft,
using AGMA 2101 or 2001, when respecting the restrictions given in AGMA6011.
When you follow all the restrictions, as explained here, then the gear rating is performed
exactly as required by AGMA6011.
You find an example in the annex showing a comparison between an example
documented in AGMA6011 and the corresponding results when using KISSsoft. The
results correspond very well.

2 Set up calculation in KISSsoft
2.1 Calculation method:
Use AGMA2101-D04 (metric) or AGMA2001-C95 (imperial) as shown below.
Note : proposed by AGMA6011 is AGMA2101-C95 which is identical to AGMA2101-D04
C:\HD\EES\KISSsoft\20-Helical-Gearing\Turbo-Gears-AGMA6011.doc 2 of 8
Figure 2-1 Select calculation method
2.2 Lifetime and application factor
Define required service life and application factor as shown below:
Figure 2-2 Set lifetime and application factor
2.3 Face load distribution factor:
For calculation of face load distribution factor, set data using (see marking in figure
above) as follows:
Figure 2-3 Parameters for calculation of face load distribution factor
Check that: KHb >= 1.10 !
2.4 Data in button Details
Press button “Details” as shown in Figure 2-2. Enter Kv value (dynamic factor) manually.
Use values as shown in table from AGMA6011:
Figure 2-4 Values for Kv to be used along AGMA6011
C:\HD\EES\KISSsoft\20-Helical-Gearing\Turbo-Gears-AGMA6011.doc 3 of 8
Figure 2-5 Enter Kv value as per table above
2.5 Required service factors as recommended in AGMA6011, Annex A
See in the annex A, table A.1 for recommended Service factors KSF (bending) and CSF
(pitting) for the specific application. See Figure 2-6 and Figure 2-7.
Important : In KISSsoft we recommend to introduce KSF and CSF as required safety factors.
Note that you must introduce the required service factor for bending as KSF, ,
and the required safety factor for pitting as square root of CSF,
KSFSF =min
CSFSH =min .

Figure 2-6 Recommended service/safety factors, part I
C:\HD\EES\KISSsoft\20-Helical-Gearing\Turbo-Gears-AGMA6011.doc 5 of 8
Figure 2-7 Recommended service/safety factors, part II
Enter required service / safety factors through module specific settings. In module specific
settings, go to tab “Required safeties”. You may want to switch off the option “Safeties
depending on size” as turbo gears typically have mn>2.00mm
Figure 2-8 Go to module specific settings menu
For example, let be KSF=CSF=1.4 . Then, introduce the required safety factors as shown in
figure below.
Remember: Introduce the required service factor for bending as KSF, but
required safety factor for pitting as square root of CSF,
KSFSF =min
CSFSH =min .
