PC Applications in Parallel Axis Gear System Design and Analysis

UWM School of Continuing Education, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Attendees will gain an understanding of parallel axis gear design, and learn to use the software tool, PowerGear, to analyze the main parameters involved. (A student version of the software is included in the price of the course.) This course covers the basics of gear load capacity evaluation from a theoretical viewpoint and uses the PC as a tool to apply these theoretical concepts. Attendees will understand durability, strength and scoring concepts, discuss typical sets of problematic design parameters and experience hands-on design perspectives through group projects.
