Background

Power transmission is very important aspect in many industries. Gear drives are most important drives used in transmitting mechanical power. Gears and Gear drives are also one of the key components of all kinds of vehicles, machine tools, aircrafts, household appliances as well as a broad variety of industrial equipment.

Study of Gears, Gear terminology, correction, Quality, Strength calculations, Errors & its Measurement is a fairly complex data. Proper understanding about all these topics and selecting gears with required quality to the required application gives better productivity, long life and noise less drive for the industries.

Key Takeaways

• Able to design Spur and Helical gears for a given application and calculate their parameters
• Estimate gear correction, contact ratio and Backlash
• Select materials for gear to required application
• Understand Gear quality, gear errors and method of measurement
