SUMMARY:Design and Performance Rating Procedures for Plastic Gears
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\n\n\n\nFormat: Live Online Virtual Training \n\n\n\nDate: November 2-3\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nMonday\, November 2 – 10:00-2:00pm CT \n\n\n\nTuesday\, November 3 – 10:00-2:00pm CT \n\n\n\n\nDesign and Performance Rating Procedures for Plastic Gears\n\n\n\nHigh performance plastic gears are increasingly replacing metal gears in several applications due to many advantages they exhibit. Main ones are having lower weight\, no need for lubrication\, cheaper mass production\, significantly better noise\, vibration and harshness (NVH ) behavior and chemical/corrosion resistance. \n\n\n\nDesign methods for plastic gears are in many ways different and more complex to those for steel gears. In major part the complexity is to be attributed to the material’s temperature-dependent properties. Also the production methods are different\, which needs to be taken into account during the design phase. The majority of plastic gears are produced by injection molding\, which enables great design flexibility\, e.g. joining several machine elements into one molded part\, as well as a wide range gear geometry modifications. \n\n\n\nThe course focuses on all aspects of the design process of gearboxes with plastic gears. The covered topics were selected based on state-of-the-art industrial projects\, working with stakeholders from automotive\, micro-mobility (e-bikes)\, house appliances\, aerospace\, chemical\, power tools and robotics sectors. \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 – $600(Deadline until 8/19/26) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $650(Deadline: 8/20/26 – 10/5/26) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $675(Deadline: 10/6/26 – 10/19/26) \n\n\n\nNON-MEMBER RATE\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Registrant – $700(Deadline until 8/19/26) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $750(Deadline: 8/20/26 – 10/5/26) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $775(Deadline: 10/6/26 – 10/29/26) \n\n\n\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\nYou will earn 8 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\nAttendees will understand the differences in operation\, design and production\, between the plastic and metal gears\n\n\n\nAttendees will be able to appropriately select materials and lubrication type for a plastic gear application\n\n\n\nAttendees will be able to reliably design gear transmissions with plastic gears\, taking into aspect all possible failure modes which could occur during operation of their product\, as also other important customer requirements\, e.g. NVH.\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\n\n\nSuitable for gear engineers\, gear/gearbox designers\, mechanical engineers working in automotive\, robotics\, house appliances\, power tools\, medical. \n\n\n\nThe program is best suitable for engineers which are already proficient in basic gear design and have knowledge on basic gear theory. \n\n\n\nInstructors\n\n\n\n\nBorut Černe\n\nDr. Borut Černe is a co-founder and CEO at RD Motion. Having previously worked as a researcher at the University in Ljubljana\, he has authored 4 patents and more than 40 scientific and technical papers in the fields of gear transmissions\, plastic and composite gear design solid mechanics\, polymers testing\, and numerical analysis. His research has mostly been focused on numerical modeling of engineering polymers\, with focus on polymer power transmissions\, along with testing and development of novel experimental methodologies for this type of applications. As part of his work at RD Motion\, he is mostly involved in R&D operations including test rig design\, software development\, data analysis\, experimental research\, and testing standard implementation. \n\n\n\n\n\nDamijan Zorko\n\nDr. Damijan Zorko is a co-founder and CEO of RD Motion. He studied Mechanical Engineering at University of Ljubljana\, and received his Ph.D. in 2019. Results of his research work are published in over 70 scientific and technical papers. He is also holder of five patents. Having over 15 years of experience on gear transmissions\, he was deeply involved in developing RD Motion’s modern test benches and testing methods for experimental research on gears. Working at the forefront of plastic gears technology he has state-of-the-art know how and insights from several industry sectors\, e.g. automotive\, house appliances\, medical\, robotics. \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.
