SUMMARY:Design Basics of Spur and Helical Gears
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\n\n\n\nFormat: Live Online Virtual Training \n\n\n\nDate: July 13\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nMonday\, July 13 – 10:00-2:00pm CT \n\n\n\n\nDesign Basics of Spur and Helical Gears\n\n\n\nLearn how to develop and understand customer gear drive application specifications and target performance expectations.  Review\, calculate and select basic gear terminology variables and design parameters which define tooth bending and contact rating safety factors on two real-life examples.  Learn how to optimize gear fatigue Safety Factors for a given target design life and fit new gear designs and ratios into existing center distance using profile shift.  Use commercially available software to develop gear geometry factors\, calculate and optimize gear set power density and performance.  Review common gear failure modes if the design or final accuracy does not meet application requirements.  Discuss time and cost of more than 20 other gear drive component functions and drive development steps through prototypes to shipment of compliant assembled production drives.  There will be an opportunity to discuss gear design challenges which may be unique to participant industries. \n\n\n\nThis course is online. A webcam on your computer equipped with a microphone and speakers/headset are required for participation. Space is limited to 20-25 participants per course. Course materials will be mailed in hard copy. Please make sure to indicate your preferred mailing address in the registration process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now\n\n\n\nCourse outline (PDF)\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Rates\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Registrant – $350(Deadline until 4/29/26) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $375(Deadline: 4/30/26 – 6/15/26) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $390(Deadline: 6/16/26 – 6/29/26) \n\n\n\nNON-MEMBER RATE\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Registrant – $450(Deadline until 4/29/26) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $475(Deadline: 4/30/26 – 6/15/26) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $490(Deadline: 6/16/26 – 6/29/26) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou will earn 4 clock hours upon completion of the course and they will be listed on your certificate of completion.\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\nDiscuss aspects of gear tooth fatigue loading and typical failure modes as a basis for gear designs which exceed target design fatigue life\n\n\n\nUnderstand the various form of drive loads:\n\nPrime movers and suggested Safety Factors\n\n\n\nConstant load applications\n\n\n\nVariable load/duty cycle applications\n\n\n\n\n\nAbility to start with customer supplied gear drive application specification and develop an optimized gear design which meets or exceeds application and performance requirements\n\n\n\nReview gear geometry terminology and design optimization variables beyond information available in Machinery’s Handbook\, apply optimization tools currently used in industry:\n\nBasic Normal Plane Geometry factors – NDP\, NPA\, Helix Angle\, Tooth Size\n\n\n\nTransverse Rolling Plane Performance variables – Profile Shift\, Material\, Heat Treatment\, Accuracy\, High Contact Ratio gear geometry and efficiency\n\n\n\nRating factors – Tooth Bending S. F.\, Tooth Contact S. F.\, Micro Pitting S. F.\n\n\n\nAdditional performance enhancing processes – shot peen\, isotropic finishing\n\n\n\n\n\nCalculate contact and bending Safety Factors as (Material and Design allowable loads) divided by (application loads) for a target design life.\n\n\n\nLearn how to fit a new gear ratio into existing housing and center distance using profile shift\n\n\n\nThis course is focused on gear design\, but reviews functionality of over 20 related drive components and design related processes.\n\n\n\nApply design tools and gear performance enhancements to optimize:\n\nRating\n\n\n\nOperating noise level\n\n\n\nEfficiency\n\n\n\nGear mesh contact\n\n\n\nLubrication\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscuss gear drive design process steps\, time\, and costs from receipt of customer application specifications through design\, prototype development/testing to manufacturing and shipping production units which meet or exceed customer expectations\n\n\n\nWork through two real life examples\, (pre-defined)\, developing optimized spur and helical gear sets which exceed customer application specifications.  The trainer does not have and active license for KISSsoft and cannot work through examples “live”\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\n\n\nThis course would be of interest to high level gear grind operators\, inspectors and quality assurance people who need to better understand why and how gear designs are optimized and how to interpret non-standard gear geometry.  They can also gain insight on how improper finishing techniques can contribute to pre-mature gear failures.  Entry level gear designers\, process and manufacturing engineers can develop a basic understanding of gear geometry terms and variables.  Gear manufacturing project managers can develop a better understanding of time required to design and optimize a gearset that is cost effective and meets or exceeds application expectations. \n\n\n\nInstructors\n\n\n\n\nTERRY KLAVES\n\nTerry Klaves semi-retired from the Milwaukee Gear Division of Regal Beloit in 2017 after 45 years of work in the gearing industry with four different companies\, positions varying from gear engineer to VP of Engineering and responsibilities including gear design\, optimization\, manufacturing and Quality Assurance.  He has a passion for solving gearing related problems and continues to serve the gearing industry as part time consultant and trainer for AGMA\, in addition\, he is Chairman of the AGMA TC-60 Committee\, contributing to development of ISO gearing standards.  Terry graduated with a BS-Engineering in 1976 and a MS-Engineering from UW-Milwaukee in 1981 and enjoys sharing his knowledge and passion for gears through formal consulting and training activities. \n\n\n\n\nPhoto Release\n\n\n\nFrom time to time MPMA uses photographs\, survey answers and testimonial of MPMA events in its promotional materials.
