It is hard to imagine production machinery without having a set of gears in it. A gear is a basic mechanical element for speed or torque management.
Designers and manufacturers are constantly working to improve the gear design and manufacturing process to produce the best set of gears for various applications throughout the airline and machine tool industries.
Gear design started way back right from the renaissance time and it is still ongoing today. At this point in time, several types of gears and gear arrangements have been used in machine design. The author has also been associated with several such gear box designs using spur, helical, bevel and worm gears throughout his professional career over fifty years. This course will reflect some of those experiences to help future designers.
The author during his time has always depended on feedback and help from several gear manufacturer such as Philadelphia Gear Corporation and Arrow Gear Corporation. The contents of this course are very much guided by the inputs received from these two companies with comments from the author.
The course focuses on two aspects: Gear design principles and gear box design principles to be applied for machine tool industries. The course includes force analysis, durability analysis, and noise reduction for gear applications.
Simple shortcut formulas for designing gears of various types will be demonstrated in this course, specifically for machine tool applications. Details of gear classifications as per American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) will be briefly explained as and when necessary.
For machine tool applications, durability and strength horsepower of gear sets, noise reduction etc are very pertinent requirements that designers have to satisfy. Planetary gear principles will be explained very briefly for a typical torque reducer the author has applied in the indexing unit of a CNC turning center.
Many of the contributors to the knowledge contained in this course are very well known in the gear industry, such as Darle Dudley, Elliott Buckingham, Gene Shipley, Prof. M F Spotts and many others.
