How to Read and Interpret a Gear Inspection Chart

July 16, 2025 | Live Online Course; Anywhere

This half-day online seminar is intended to provide you with a thorough understanding of the information contained within a typical gear inspection report. Specifically, we will look at the contents and meaning of the information contained within the gear charts, as well as the techniques used by the gear measurement system to assess gear quality. An explanation of basic gear measurement techniques, how measurement equipment and test machines implement these techniques, and how to interpret the results from these basic measurements will be covered. We will also discuss how to interpret the results and what corrective actions may be considered if the quality of a particular gear is unsatisfactory.

EV Automotive Transmission Development

August 19–21—Rosemont, IL

This course will cover all aspects of gearbox concept, development, design, and through the initial stages of analysis as related to product requirements. Attendees will review all the most common EV transaxle architectures, power flow and layout and the ‘whys’ of packaging as such. Independent of the architecture and/or layout, there are many similarities in the functional and operational requirements of an EV transaxle gearbox.
