Introduction
The plastic gears are continuing to displace metal gears in a widening arena of applications. Their unique characteristics are also being enhanced with new developments, both in materials and processing. This training provides a vision into the fundamentals of plastic gear design and calculation, manufacturing, tolerancing, implementation and the basic skills to examine, and recognize common plastic gears failure modes.
Cetim, the leading French Technical Centre for Mechanical Industry, was established in 1965 to support innovation and competitiveness of engineering companies through its multidisciplinary expertise and unique R&D capabilities.
In Asia Pacific, CETIM-Matcor, a forward-looking company, is specialized in the field of Material & Corrosion Assessment, Failure Analysis & Forensic Investigation and Mechanical Power Transmission.
Jointly with NTU, CETIM-Matcor will conduct advanced engineering courses for engineers who will like to understand and learn in depth knowledge from our experience trainers with vast industrial and field experience. Courses are largely focused on Corrosion Engineering and Failures Analysis in areas such as Pressurized Equipment, Shafts, Gears & Bearings as well as Forensic Engineering Investigation.
The training provides participants with:
- Understand the whole process of making a gear
- Identify the theoretical and practical elements that are essential for producing quality gears and guarantee their service life Examine the different aspects of gear failures
- Assess and interpret common gear failure modes of plastic gears
• Basic concepts on the geometry of gears to "Teeth in involute"
o Spur and helical gears
o Meshing (contact ratio, interference, sliding)
o Tooth modifications (profile and helix)
o Contact pressure and tooth rupture calculations
• Manufacture of plastic gears
• Principles of tolerancing and control
• Failure modes in plastic gears
