Primary Gears Workshop

This seminar will cover Bearings, Types and applications (ISO 15), Selection & life calculation, Wear & failure modes (ISO 15243). Condition Monitoring, Comparison and applicability of methods (Vibration, Acoustic Emission, Oil Debris Analysis), Remote CM techniques, Case histories including bearing and gearbox damage in wind turbines and other applications.

This online course is held over 2 sessions and is fully interactive with detailed examples and plenty of time for questions and discussion. Why learn about DOE? Properly designed experiments will improve, Understanding of the Cause and Effect relationship in any process, Predictive knowledge of the process, in order to improve it, Control process costs, while meeting or exceeding customer requirements.

This Seminar will cover basic involute gear theory, terms and definitions for spur and helical gears. Additionally, practical work on the measurement of gears including calculations on e.g. distance over rollers measurement will be addressed. Lastly, basic principles of gear hobbing and shaping as well as a selection of index and feed change gears will be covered. The practical work involves setting up and producing spur and helical gears by hobbing and shaping using a Maxicut 2A shaping machine and Sykes H150 hobbing machine.

This introductory seminar is suitable and appropriate for anyone joining the gear industry and includes an introduction to Gears Part 1, Gear Fundamentals Law of Gearing, The Involute Form, Power The Involute Form, Power Transmission, Motion Control, Gear Types - Features and Benefits. An Introduction to Gears Part 2, Noise & Load Modes of Failure, Gear Rating methods, Application Factors, Gear Lubrication, Noise & Vibration basics, Transmission Error. An Introduction to Gears Part 3, Gear Manufacture Gear Material Specification, Gear Manufacturing Methods, Heat Treatment and Gear Measurement.

This essential Gear training has been produced and will be presented by Gear expert Graham Penning over three 2 hour online sessions. Each session will be completely interactive allowing delegates to ask questions and have them answered in a live environment. Participating delegates will receive a certificate. Modules in this course, Gear System Arrangements - Design and selection, Gearbox Fundamentals - Design requirements and essential components, Gear Lubrication Introduction.

This training-event is for engineers and manufacturers (aerospace and automotive) involved in measuring processes - in inspection or manufacturing or design/concession work - who make decisions about acceptance of gears to a standard. Day one - delegates will be able to, select appropriate measurement processes, understand the terms and symbols and parameters that are measured, interpret measurement results sheets to a standard, and apply good-practice in measurement strategies. Day two - delegates will be able to, identify causes of manufacturing errors, understand sources of measurement errors, apply simple procedures to improve measurement accuracy, and quantify measurement accuracy using ISO methods.

This seminar is aimed at both gear users and gear manufacturers and includes, Introduction, Gear Design for Low Noise, Noise Signals and Noise Measurement. After this seminar the student will be able to differentiate between actual gear noise problems and noise generated by other sources, identify the remedial action required to alleviate the problem and where to seek additional help if required.

This seminar provides the opportunity to understand and explore the stress analysis procedures published in ISO 6336,2006 and discuss ideas and implications with other members of the industry. The latest standards are rather daunting to those who are new to them so the purpose of this seminar is to make it much easier to understand how it works. Applying the latest ISO 6336 stress analysis standard implements best practice will not guarantee a low noise or low risk gear set. This seminar introduces and applies strategies for maximizing gear performance, increasing power density and minimizing manufacturing costs and risk.

This seminar will provide Delegates with an insight into the appearance and underlying causes of gear failure modes. It provides gear manufacturers and users with the necessary skills to examine, assess and recognise common gear failure modes.

Philip Clarke will describe the heat treatment of gear steels. The basic metallurgical concepts and key principles, the enhancement of surface properties by carburising and induction hardening will be explained. The properties imparted by, and the consequences and problems of the chosen process with reference to material selection, distortion and growth will be covered with the aid of case histories.

Gear geometry is thought to be complex and considered a 'black art'. This seminar will dispel this myth and provide a basic knowledge of spur and helical gear geometry and how gears work. At the end of the seminar you will understand how gears work, be competent with basic calculations relating to gear geometry, understand the basic terms and symbols and have a greater understanding of what is happening when you use gear software packages. Design, manufacture and inspection processes make more sense when you understand gear geometry.
