Current detection methods and materials
Main focus
- Introduction to gear geometry
- Evaluation of load-bearing capacity verifications according to DIN and ISO standards
- Introduction to the extended verifications of flank fracture and gray staining
- Properties of new gear materials
- Evaluation of energy efficiency and optimization
- Calculation examples from current application areas
On the subject
Even modern electric drive machines only have a relatively small optimum operating window - adapting the power to the requirements of the driven machine is therefore essential. The method of choice is still gear drives, with which high efficiencies and power densities can be achieved. Modern research is developing new detection methods (e.g. for micropitting and tooth flank breakage) and new materials (especially plastics) are being developed for use in gearboxes, which means that gearboxes can be made increasingly efficient, lighter and more environmentally friendly.
Although numerical calculation methods (e.g. finite element calculations and multi-body system simulations) are becoming increasingly prominent, the classic standard verifications are required for the certification of a gearbox. In addition to the basics, theories and influences on these verifications, this seminar will deal with the link to modern calculation methods.
Objective
The seminar will enable you to familiarize yourself with current issues relating to design methods. You will be able to assess and evaluate gearbox calculations. In the practical part, you will experience the practical use of calculation tools, including documentation of relevant parameters, in exemplary sample calculations. This will provide you with the knowledge you need for a professional exchange with gearbox design specialists and suppliers.
