American Gear Manufacturers Association, AGMA, is proud to announce the release of the all new Gear Rating Suite 3.0. Similar to its predecessor, the new GRS 3.0 is the result of several years of dedicated hard work by the members of our Computer Programing Committee whose vast experience & expertise in both gearing and computer programing was essential throughout the project.
Building on the effectiveness and popularity of its earlier version, the new GRS 3.0 offers new and improved capabilities including:
– Rich text format
– ANSI / AGMA 6011-I03 – ANSI / AGMA 6013-A06 – API 613 – fifth edition – API 617 – seventh edition – Power ratings for ISO – Life ratings
One of the most exciting improvements / additions to the new GRS 3.0 is Gear Mesh Visualization capability. This provides a dynamic graphical visualization of the designed gears. The gears may be rotated and their interactions, including any possible interference, observed.
Furthermore, the new GRS 3.0 offers users simplified data entry. Input and display can be conducted in many ways; including in SI or US Customary units, degrees-minutes-seconds or decimal degrees. Output may be changed at will and tolerances may be displayed for any gear Quality or Accuracy Grade. The program also provides material hardness conversions.
The users of the new program will benefit from extensive geometry checking as part of every run as well as accurate calculation of the Start of Involute Diameter. A useful geometry summary may be displayed, independent of the rating programs. Safety or service factors may be calculated based on the input power or the allowable power may be calculated from safety or service factors.
GRS 3.0 incorporates material from the following standards / information sheets:
AGMA Gear Rating Suite 3.0 may be purchased by itself or combined with a specially priced package of the standards / information sheets indicated with (*).
If you would like more information on this product before you purchase. A demo of this product is available for download at the top of this page, but in addition, AGMA is offering a 90-minute taped webinar that was presented by the AGMA Computer Programming Committee on this product. The webinar file is very large so to aid in download it is available through the service YouSendIt. Please follow this link to download the file.

Note: While AGMA Gear Rating Suite 3.0 makes use of the standards easy and provides guidance and warnings related to the standards, the user must understand the standards to apply them properly. It is important that the user have a copy of the standards available for reference.
AGMA Gear Rating Suite 3.0 is easy to use, and can significantly reduce the time required to obtain gear ratings. It may be used to obtain additional information on gears, such as finding a span measurement when a measurement over balls is given. It can also serve as an effective teaching aid. However, it is designed for use by engineers with an understanding of gears, and is not intended for those unfamiliar with the fundamentals of gear design.
Want an easy tool for bevel geometry? Compare your own work against standards and understand your competitors’ ratings with the Bevel Gear Rating Suite. Not only can this software calculate ratings, but you also can easily enter or calculate geometry according to either current or old standards and load capacities.
OPTION I – Software with help file and an electronic (read-only) copy of standards.
$1,695 for AGMA members, $2,195 for nonmembers
OPTION II – Software with help file only (no copy of standards).
$995 for AGMA members, $1,495 for nonmembers

This calculator was developed by AGMA’s Computer Programming Committee and is FREE for AGMA members.
It assists in the implementation of ANSI/AGMA/ISO 17485, Bevel Gears – ISO System of Accuracy. This standard provides tolerances for single pitch, total cumulative pitch, runout and tooth mesh component single flank composite.
The calculator will find these tolerances for your gears through equations based on tolerance diameter, mean normal module (diametral pitch) and accuracy grade. Since mean normal module is not commonly available, the calculator allows alternate geometry as input.
To install this program, you must have administrator privileges for your computer and Microsoft Windows.
1. Download the ANSI/AGMA ISO 17485-A08 Tolerance Calculator ZIP file. This file is for AGMA members only. Please email website@agma.org for the password to open this file.
2. Extract all three files to a common (temporary) directory.
3. Run the setup.exe install program and follow the instructions. (You will need to use the password jmr to install the program.)
4. You can remove the setup files (temporary directory) if you wish and run the program from your Windows menu.

Not using ANSI/AGMA ISO 17485-A08 yet? Take advantage of this free software from AGMA.
This calculator helps to determine the values for elemental tolerances (pitch, single flank composite, profile and lead) in accordance with the accuracy classification standard ANSI/AGMA 2015-1-A01.
The values of tolerances are to be determined from equations based on tolerance diameter, pitch or module, facewidth and accuracy grade.
AGMA membership is not required for downloading this product.
1. Download the AGMA 2015-1 Calculator ZIP file.
2. Extract all three files to a common (temporary) directory.
3. Run the setup.exe install program and follow the instructions.
4. You can remove the setup files (temporary directory) if you wish and run the program from your Windows menu.
