KISSsoft in a Variety of Applications

May 17, 2022

The calculation program KISSsoft and its system add-on are used in a wide variety of applications: They are used for industrial gear units, the automotive industry, the energy sector, aerospace, shipping and numerous other special fields.

In industrial gear units
, KISSsoft is used for standard and heavy-duty gear units. In the automotive industry, large car companies trust the software for their calculations. In particular, the software solution can be used for the design and optimization of electric vehicle transmissions. Engineers are facing a whole new set of challenges due to the increasing number of electric vehicles and the changing requirements for transmission concepts.


Turbo gearboxes, wind turbine main gearboxes, generator shafts, compressor gear trains, pitch and yaw drives are some examples from the field of power generation for which KISSsoft is used.

Meanwhile, our software is also in use in the high-tech segment of aerospace and in applications such as rovers, satellites, helicopter main and tail gearboxes, turbine power take offs, starter gearboxes, flap actuators, and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Specific norms according to DNV, Lloyd's Register or BV/Rina are available in KISSsoft for the manufacture and certification of marine gearboxes. This means that users have widely used gear calculation methods for shipbuilding at their fingertips - both for the main drive as well as important auxiliary equipment onboard ships and for mobile offshore equipment.

Our calculation programs are also used in numerous special fields, such as gears for the food industry, toy industry, watch industry, in electric bicycles, measuring devices, household appliances, medical devices (dentist's drills) and in assistant robots in care, etc.
