Influencing factors - test procedures - calculation methods - prevention - damage patterns

Gearboxes are used to adjust the speed and torque of drive and output devices, with gears as the central machine elements. They should perform their duties in a low-noise, low-maintenance, and most of all damage-free manner over the lifetime of the machine. Breakdowns due to damage often lead to high costs.

Target audience

Employees of gearbox companies and technical departments: designers, production engineers, maintenance and repair specialists, and experts.

Main topics

  • Gear damage

  • Influencing factors

  • Testing procedures

  • Calculation methods

  • Avoidance

  • Examples

Seminar contents

  • Fundamentals of stresses on gears and the procedure for damage analysis (modified root cause analysis):

  • Seizure, wear, micropitting, fissures, tooth root and flank fracture of cylindrical gears

  • Appearance and causes of damage, primary influencing factors, testing methods, calculation principles, and practical examples

  • Basics of materials and lubricants

Objectives

  • Reliable detection and classification of gear damage

  • Understanding of the underlying damage influencing factors

  • Calculation approaches for quantitative assessment of damage risks

  • Systematic approach to damage analysis

  • Quantitative and qualitative assessment of ways to prevent damage
