AKGears recently introduced the only commercially available tooth root fillet optimization software that defines the tooth root fillet profile to provide minimum bending stress concentration.

The software allows increasing gear load capacity by 15-25% and is applicable to involute and non-involute gears with external and internal, symmetric and asymmetric teeth. This optimization technique is presently employed in various gear drives for aerospace (Boeing), automotive (Delphi), medical devices (Abbott Labs), consumer products (Panasonic), and many other industries.
