How to Read and Interpret a Gear Inspection Report
November 2—Live Online Course
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.Register Today
Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis
Fall November 9—Live Online Course
Evaluating loaded tooth contact and developing tooth modifications using commercially available software to improve Khb and optimize power density. Two real-life gearing examples will be presented in the course, one will have a cantilever-mounted pinion, the other a shaft pinion straddled non-symmetrically by bearings. Both examples demonstrate component deflections under load which significantly reduce tooth mesh contact which is then corrected with developed helix and profile modifications. Other gear performance optimization tools will also be briefly discussed: Profile Shift, Isotropic Finishing, Shot Peening, Accuracy, and Material Selection.Register Today
Gear Systems Design for Minimum Noise
December 5-7, 2023 | Doubletree by Hilton San Diego Mission Bay, San Diego, CA
The need for noise control and its relation to gear drive design will be discussed. The general nature of noise and its measurement will be examined, with particular emphasis on terminology standards, and units of measurement appropriate to gear technology. Gear noise, per se, is seldom heard by and observer. The mechanism by which observer noticed noise is generated and transmitted will be defined, described, discussed. Before attempting to solve a noise problem with an existing unit or beginning the design of a new unit, the nature of the noise must be defined. Both experimental and analytical methods will be covered, with particular emphasis on application rather than theory.Register Today
Fundamentals of Worm and Crossed Axis Helical Gearing
December 5-7, 2023 | Doubletree by Hilton San Diego Mission Bay, San Diego, CA
This course is intended to be both an overview of worm and wheel gearing, as well as an introduction to the application, design considerations, practical development techniques for manufacturing, and finally how best to apply worm and wheel technology. We will cover some design development, lubrication considerations, and failure modes and causes.Register Today
