This seminar will include Sources of Gear Noise and Definition of Transmission Error. The Gear Design for Low Noise it will cover includes TE spur gears; TE helical gears; The relation of TE to contact ratios and the concept of integer contact ratio; the effect of misalignment on tooth contact; approaches to designing gears for low TE and TE in planetary gears. The Noise Signals information covered is tooth passing frequencies; gear pairs; planetary gears; run out; generation of side bands and ghost frequencies and their origin. Practical aspects of noise measurement are considered in order to correctly diagnose the cause/source of the noise; it’s necessary to correctly identify the frequency.
The British Gear Association (BGA) is a trade association that promotes the technical and commercial interests of manufacturers, distributors, academics and others involved in the Power Transmissions industry in the United Kingdom.
The Association speaks with authority on behalf of the industry both nationally and internationally and its ability to help companies and individuals involved in the industry is widely recognised by government, the media and industry. The Association is well-represented on British and International Standard committees and provides the Chairman of the British Standards Institution's MCE/5 Committee on Gearing and the Chairman to ISO TC60 sub committee SC1.
