with next|gear. The perfect software for the individual, quiet and efficient design of your gearboxes.
From analyzing your current situation to a documented preliminary concept with initial calculation results.
Transmissions need to become quieter, more efficient, and more compact. At the same time, development pressures and competition are on the rise.
Custom design, integrated simulation, and low-noise gear geometries—all in one software package. Fewer iterations. Better results.
next|gear combines precise calculations with direct development benefits. Every feature is designed to deliver a specific result: less effort, more performance.
next|gear calculates all types of gear teeth, including special gear teeth with skewed axes. The individual flank geometry is optimized directly for your load requirements.
Integrated simulation eliminates the tedious need to switch between different tools. Parameter optimization runs automatically, and results can be compared and documented immediately.
Optimized gear tooth profiles enable higher power density in the smallest of spaces. next|gear gives designers the freedom to develop solutions that simply aren't possible with standard software.
The imk team of experts will support you from implementation through ongoing operations. There’s no need for a lengthy internal learning curve—you’ll be up and running from day one.
Develop transmission concepts that push conventional software to its limits
next|gear opens up entirely new ways to gain a competitive edge and a head start in the market.
Using the next|gear method developed by imk, the Significant increase in gearbox service life become. It also means that the gearboxes run particularly smoothly and quietly. We like working with such a reliable partner like imk, because their competence and expertise in this area impresses us time and time again.
next|gear opens up a new Degree of freedom in gearing kinematics and flank modification, that we have wanted for a long time. At the same time, the software supports us in Development of suitable production strategies and ideally complements our solution portfolio.
The drive concept has been fundamentally rethought.
