SUMMARY:Basic Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis Theory
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\n\n\n\nFormat: Live Online Virtual Training \n\n\n\nDate: July 16\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nThursday\, July 16 – 10:00-2:00pm CT \n\n\n\n\nLoaded Tooth Contact Analysis Theory\n\n\n\nEvaluation of loaded tooth contact and development of tooth modifications using commercially available software to improve and apply a realistic load distribution factor Km in gear rating calculations.  Two real life gearing examples will be presented in the course\, one will have a cantilever mounted pinion\, the other a shaft pinion straddled non-symmetrically by bearings.  Both examples demonstrate component deflections under load which significantly reduce tooth mesh contact which is then corrected with developed helix and profile modifications.  Other gear performance optimization tools will also be presented\, Material and Heat Treatment Selection\, Profile Shift\, Isotropic Finishing\, Shot Peening\, Accuracy. These design tools along with LTCA are commonly applied by gear designers to optimize design reliability and calculated rating safety factors. \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 5/2/26) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $375(Deadline: 5/3/26 – 6/18/26) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $390(Deadline: 6/19/26 – 7/2/26) \n\n\n\nNON-MEMBER RATE\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Registrant – $450(Deadline until 5/2/26) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $475(Deadline: 5/3/26 – 6/18/26) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $490(Deadline: 6/19/26 – 7/2/26) \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\nIdentify the need for contact analysis and describe the theory behind the contact analysis process.\n\n\n\nModel the loaded gear mesh shafts\, bearings and gear geometry in commercially available dedicated gearing “FEA” software to calculate magnitude and direction of tooth deflections and deformations.\n\n\n\nDevelop tooth profile and helix modifications that compensate for tooth deflections\, reducing transmission error and optimizing power density.\n\n\n\nDescribe the tools and processes of contact analysis.\n\n\n\nReview cantilever pinion example of contact analysis and corrective action.\n\n\n\nReview non-symmetrical bearing mounted shaft pinion example of contact analysis and corrective action.\n\n\n\nPresent contact analysis Do’s and Don’ts.\n\n\n\nReview other gear performance optimization tools.\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\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\nPhoto Release\n\n\n\nFrom time to time MPMA uses photographs\, survey answers and testimonial of MPMA events in its promotional materials.
