This workshop provides a comprehensive understanding of the essential fundamentals of bevel gears. The main focus is on different types of bevel gears, manufacturing processes, and the basics of bevel gear calculation. Participants will take a closer look at spiral bevel gears (Klingelnberg’s Zyklo-Palloid®). GearEngineer, eAssistant, and TBK 2014 software are used to illustrate key principles.
The seminar is designed for young professionals, experienced engineers, designers, and technicians who want to enhance their practical knowledge of bevel gears.
