Gear Modification Design

Introduction

Increasing demands for comfort in automotive applications as well as legal requirements for stationary systems are drivers for constant reduction of noise in gearbox development. Another goal is the pursuit of the greatest possible power density. The design of suitable gear modifications is becoming more and more important to achieve low noise excitation as well as high load carrying capacity.

Target Audience

This seminar is aimed at all design engineers who have to deal with the above-mentioned issues.

Objectives

The seminar will address the design of gear modifications with regard to noise excitation and load carrying capacity. First, seminar participants will learn about noise excitation mechanisms, the effects of elastic deformation on load carrying capacity, and various standard modifications. Next, practical examples will be used to design gear modifications for low noise and optimum load carrying capacity. With a suitable strategy, modifications can be designed to achieve both low noise and high load carrying capacity goals.
