DIGITAL ENGINEERING AND EVALUATION
Timing Belt Transmission
Toothed belts in bicycles and e-bikes are subjected to a variety of stresses depending on the area of use and the constitution of the rider. For a safe design and optimization of the entire drive, predictive simulation with highly accurate virtual prototypes is an important basis.
This includes:
-
Dynamic load prediction in spans and tooth pulley contact
-
System evaluation including inertia feedback, span deflection, tensioner movement, etc.
-
Audited power loss analysis of the toothed belt system including bike train components
Timing belt transmission coupled with planetary gear
Only a dynamic system simulation in which the toothed belt drive is expanded to include all relevant drive components, such as frame, transmission parts, electric motor and housing, ensures that all real-world influences are correctly taken into account.
-
Hybrid mode (pedal and electrical support) can be simulated and changed dynamically during simulation
-
Misuse, load changes and load profiles can be evaluated with focus on toothed belt drive dynamics
-
Detailed gear geometry (macro and micro design) considered to analyze gear dynamics and load distribution in detail
