Design Basics for Spur and Helical Gears—Fall

September 12—Live Online Course, Anywhere

Learn how to develop and understand customer gear drive application specifications and target performance expectations. Review, calculate and select basic gear terminology variables and design parameters which define tooth bending and contact rating safety factors on two real-life examples. Learn how to optimize gear fatigue Safety Factors for a given target design life and fit new gear designs and ratios into existing center distance using profile shift. Use commercially available software to develop gear geometry factors, calculate and optimize gear set power density and performance. Review common gear failure modes if the design or final accuracy does not meet application requirements. Discuss time and cost of more than 20 other gear drive component functions and drive development steps through prototypes to shipment of compliant assembled production drives. here will be an opportunity to discuss gear design challenges which may be unique to participant industries.

Fall Technical Meeting

October 16–18—Detroit, MI

Technology is fundamentally changing manufacturing. To keep up in today’s marketplace, designers and manufacturers need to follow emerging trends and communicate the latest ideas with their fellow experts in the field. AGMA’s annual Fall Technical Meeting (FTM) is the perfect forum for this. Each year, 30 authors are selected by AGMA to write peer-reviewed technical papers on topics relevant to the gear industry. Topics include design, analysis, manufacturing, quality, materials, metallurgy, heat treatment, operation, maintenance, efficiency, and gear failure. Authors present the results of their papers in a single-track conference, which means you don’t have to pick and choose which presentations to attend. With full registration, you receive copies of all papers and can see all the presentations, ask questions to all the presenters, and network with your peers over three days.

Basics of Gearing—MPT Expo

October 17–18—Detroit, MI

This course is intended to provide attendees with a thorough understanding of the information contained within a typical gear inspection report. Specifically, 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. How to interpret the results and what corrective actions may be considered if the quality of a particular gear is unsatisfactory will also be covered.
