The competitiveness of gearboxes is significantly influenced by their performance ability. Increasing the tooth root load capacity has always been in focus of current research because in case of a failure of the gearwheel due to a tooth root fracture, the complete gearbox fails. This paper presents a new calculation method that enables the optimization of hob geometries within a few minutes so that they lead to reduced stresses in the tooth root fillet of spur gears. This results in reductions of the maximum tooth root stress of 10% and more for most gearwheels. The manufacturing costs for the optimized hob are only influenced slightly. In order to increase the computational speed compared to purely FE-based optimization methods, the present paper shows a method in which the decisive part of the optimization process is based on an analytical equation which are derived by a small number of FE-calculations.
