Our proprietary gear durability calculation was developed by Intech engineers to assess the number of hours of trouble-free performance for the specific conditions of your application. The calculation is based on data derived from years of laboratory testing.

Using this software, our engineers will:

Assess tooth root strength to predict fatigue failure;
Assess the flank pressure safety, i.e. predict premature wear;
Select appropriate shock loading factor;

Calculate required backlash;
Select correct metal core size;
Modify tooth geometry, if required;
Call you with suggestions to extend gear life.
