SUMMARY:Gearbox Systems Design
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\n\n\n\nFormat: Live Online \n\n\n\nDate: August 18-20 & 25-27\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, August 18 – 11:00-3:00pm CT\n\n\n\nWednesday\, August 19 – 11:00-3:00pm CT\n\n\n\nThursday\, August 20 – 11:00-3:00pm CT\n\n\n\nTuesday\, August 25 – 11:00-3:00pm CT\n\n\n\nWednesday\, August 26 – 11:00-3:00pm CT\n\n\n\nThursday\, August 27 – 11:00-3:00pm CT\n\n\n\n\nGearbox Systems Design: The Rest of the Story…Everything but the Gears & Bearings\n\n\n\nThis course focuses the supporting elements of a gearbox that allow gears and bearings to do their jobs most efficiently. Learn about seals\, lubrication\, lubricants\, housings\, breathers\, and other details that go into designing gearbox systems. \n\n\n\nYou will earn 24 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\nDescribe types of housing construction\, housing elements (covers\, inspection ports\, sump\, mounting\, etc.).\n\n\n\nApply drawing practices for housings and related components.\n\n\n\nBearing mounting\, retention and sealing.\n\n\n\nDescribe election and role of gearbox accessories\, such as breathers\, filters\, screens\, sight gages\, and other level indication devices.\n\n\n\nApply the appropriate lubricant selection.\n\n\n\nApply the lubricant to the rotating elements.\n\n\n\nDescribe the selection criteria concerning the basic lubricant chemistry.\n\n\n\nDiscuss drawing practices and tolerancing from the designers’ perspective.\n\n\n\nLearn about translating the general design from the design manual to the individual component drawings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now\n\n\n\nCourse outline (PDF)\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Rates\n\n\n\nMember Rates\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Registrant – $1\,950(Deadline until 6/4/26) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $2\,050(Deadline: 6/5/26 – 7/21/26) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $2\,100(Deadline: 7/22/26 – 8/4/26) \n\n\n\nNON-MEMBER RATE\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Registrant – $2\,450(Deadline until 6/4/26) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $2\,550(Deadline: 6/5/26 – 7/22/26) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $2\,600(Deadline: 7/22/26 – 8/4/26) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\n\n\nGear design engineers; management involved with the design and manufacture of gearing type components; metallurgists and materials engineers; laboratory technicians; quality assurance technicians; furnace design engineers; and equipment suppliers.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructors\n\n\n\nRaymond J. Drago\, P.E.\n\nRaymond J. Drago is Chief Engineer of Drive Systems Technology\, Inc. (DST)\, a mechanical power transmission consulting organization that he founded in 1976. Mr. Drago also worked for the Boeing Company – Helicopters Division until his retirement after 37 years of service. Currently Mr. Drago is involved in the analysis\, design\, manufacture\, assembly\, and testing of many gear systems. In his role with DST\, Mr. Drago is active in all areas of mechanical power transmission\, including the design and analysis of drive systems in a very diverse field of application from heart pumps to very large mining & mill gears. He has used his 58 years of gear technology experience to prepare and deliver more than 150 Technical Papers and 385 courses dealing with various aspects of gear design and analysis. \n\nI started working at Boeing in 1967 and continued until my retirement in 2004. I started Drive Systems Technology in 1976 as a part time activity while still working at Boeing (with Boeing’s knowledge and approval\, under strict guidelines) which eventually grew to the point where I retired early from Boeing in order to pursue DST as a full-time activity. \n\n\n\nSteve Cymbala\n\nSteve Cymbala has served as Senior Drives Engineer for Drive Systems Technology\, Inc. for more than 40 years. In this capacity\, Steve performs gearbox design functions as well as client drawing reviews prior to placement of orders. He performs field gearbox failure investigations as well as witnessing various Non-Destructive Examination inspections at gear manufacturing facilities on behalf of DST\, Inc. clients. Steve was an employee of the Boeing Company for 34 years where he held a position of Staff Engineer. \n\n\n\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.
