Onlinel Gear 1i~aining from UTSUniver al Technical Systems of

Rockforil ~ has introduced Web-basedIraining for gear designers based on itspopular line of gear design software andit basic and advanced gear training cur-riculum which the company has used inits in-person gear training programs

since 1985What we have learned is that for

people who have not worked with gearsbefore getting a goodl understanding ofthe fundamentals and developing mean-ingfull insights into bow variou parame-ters impact dJegearperformance takequite some time says tITS presidentSM Jack Maralhe That result inincreased design time and frequently mecompany is unableto come up with thebest designs for theirneeds

The online training begins with gearbasics such as the involute curve how

its generated and basic gear terminolo-gy Students proceed through an exami-nation of the interaction of such factorsas base pitch outside and root diame-lers line of center and line of actionpitCh point and base pitch addendumand dedendum working and wholedepth pressure angle clearance and

backlashAt Iile advanced level students work

with actual design examples uch as anelectric motor driving a fan and a tur-bineiaItemator reduction gear

The online gear models are interac-tive with both statlc and animatedgraphics The student is able to seeimmediately bow changes in variousparameters affect gear performance Aperson sitting at his terminal whereverhe is can change one parameter and seethe effects on the fly says Marathe

UTS will offer two courses-FwuJameTIIllbof Gearing and Funda-menials of Plastic Gear Design-on itsWebsite in the first quarter of 200 1
