Three strategies can be selected for the distribution of the rolling positions:
- Harmonic distribution
This strategy is defined by the program. Dabei wird die im Abschlussbericht (STIRAK) erläuterte Verteilung der Wälzstellungen unter Berücksichtigung der Eigenschaften des Getriebeaufbaus und der einzelnen Zahneingriffe durchgeführt. The program independently determines the number and position of the rolling positions; a minimum of 6 and maximum of 15 rolling positions are determined.
- Harmonic distribution with specification of the number
In this distribution strategy, the positions of the individual rolling positions for the overall gear unit are also determined by the program, taking into account the characteristics of the gear unit design and the individual tooth contacts.4 However, the number of rolling positions to be used can be defined.
- Linear distribution with specification of the number
In this type of rolling distribution the gear unit design and gear characteristics are ignored and a user-defined number of rolling positions is distributed linearly in the field of action.
