Gear and Transmission Technology

Introduction

Gearbox development is a compromise between the conflicting priorities of load capacity, efficiency, noise, and cost. The large number of influencing parameters and the complex interactions between them are often difficult for designers to understand. For this reason, gearboxes are often optimized with regard to a single criterion.

Target Audience

Gear unit developers, designers, and construction engineers.

Main Topics

Day 1:

• Gear types and characteristics
• Involute gear geometry
• Cylindrical gear production

Day 2:

• Gear damage and load capacity calculations
• Design and design calculations
• Lubrication
• Efficiency
• Design of modifications

Objectives

This seminar provides a comprehensive overview of all relevant steps of the product development process of cylindrical gears, starting with an introduction to the different types of gearboxes (cylindrical, bevel, worm, and planetary gear units):

• General dimensioning of cylindrical gear units
• Gear design with regard to load capacity, efficiency, and noise
• Production of cylindrical gears

The seminar contents will then be applied using the example of a two-state cylindrical gear unit.
