If you would like to register for any of our essential gear training please contact Kirsty in the BGA office admin@bga.org.uk
The BGA Introduction to Gear Cutting and Measurement course is essential for engineers who want to broaden their understanding first principals of gear design and cutting.
Delegates will learn first principals of gearing and gain practical experience using our Maxicut 2A shaping machine and Sykes H150 hobbing machine. These manual machines will allow delegates to see the principals of gear design in reality giving a broader understanding of how the gear tools work.
Who should participate?
Engineers, technicians, supervisors, inspectors and setters who require an understanding and some practical experience in basic gear measurement and cutting. The course is designed for delegates who may have little or no prior knowledge of the subject but assumes that they are able to understand basic machine tool operations and trigonometry. (Please note that this course is limited to a maximum of 8 persons so early booking is recommended). The course is designed for delegates who may have little or no prior knowledge of the subject but assumes that they are able to understand basic machine tool operations and trigonometry.
By the end of the programme participants will be able to:
Understand basic spur and helical gear theory and terminology
Carry out basic calculations for the manufacture and measurement of gears
Understand how spur and helical gears are cut by hobbing and shaping
Gain practical experience in setting up, producing and measuring gears made by hobbing & shaping
Have a comprehensive set of notes and reference data
The programme will cover:
Basic involute gear theory, terms and definitions for spur and helical gears including:
Gear terms and definitions
Introduction to the involute form and its construction/tables
Calculations on the above
Practical work on the measurement of gears including calculations on the following:
Chordal tooth settings for gear tooth Vernier
Constant chord settings to gear tooth Vernier
Base tangent micrometer settings
Distance over rollers measurement
Basic principles of gear hobbing and shaping.
Selection of index and feed change gears.
Practical work – setting up and producing spur & helical gears by hobbing and shaping using a Maxicut 2A shaping machine and Sykes H150 hobbing machine
