Training > Bevel Courses > Course Menu

One week.

Primary emphasis is on the design elements of bevel and hypoid gears. Lectures will cover gear theory, terminology, selection of gear size, tooth design parameters and cutting methods.  Students will calculate a gear dimension sheet, using Gleason computer software (text or Windows based), and evaluate the resulting stress data.

Personnel who are currently assigned to gear design and engineering activities. Trainees who attend this course may bring a specific design problem. Data should include horsepower, speed, torque loads, ratio, etc. for an existing or future application. It is suggested that trainees bring an electronic calculator with them.
