This online engineering PDH course discusses the six simple machines: the lever, the block, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the screw and the gear. When you familiarize with the principles of these simple machines, you can readily understand the operation of complex machines.
A machine is any device that helps you to do work. It may help by changing the amount of force or the speed of action. Machines may also be used to change the direction of a force or in other cases transform energy; for example, a generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy. Complex machines are basically combinations of two or more simple machines.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, designers, manufacturers and anyone interested to gain an understanding of basic machine operation.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on how to understand the design and function of gears. It starts with an analysis of the dynamics of a simple gear train. It then defines the many terms and simple equations that describe gear teeth. The four basic types of gears are discussed along with the methods and materials used to manufacture gears. A step-by-step procedure is used to design a spur gearset and its mountings using formulas from national known organizations. Design alternatives are given which can increase the power ratings of standard spur gearsets. Helical and bevel gearsets are power rated and compared to spur gearsets. Finally, expert analysis is given for the application of gearing in four different mechanical power transmission devices.
Much scientific study and development work has been accomplished on gears. The gear tooth has been so successfully perfected that, when two gears mesh, almost perfect rolling takes place enabling them to operate in the high 90% efficiency range similar to anti-friction bearings that support the shafts that gears are mounted on. Formulas have been developed and standards established to make gear design and application as easy an endeavor as possible.
This 4 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers who want to broaden their background in mechanical power transmission. It is also intended for non-mechanical engineers or other technical professionals who are interested in some of the basics of mechanical power transmission; and in particular, the field of gearing.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the many terms and equations used to define and calculate gear and gear teeth parameters

This online engineering PDH course presents several ball bearing design principles that are probably not too well known outside the ball bearing world. The information provided in this course originates with an organization that pioneered many ball bearing materials and products that are used throughout the industry today.
The discussion starts out with the basics such as the description, terminology, industry standards, and types of ball bearings. The role of Hertz compressive stress and the ball diameter in the design of ball bearings is revealed with pertinent mathematical exercises. There is an explanation of how bearings fail, how bearing life is calculated, and why bearing life is expressed as a probability number. An excellent example is given of how graphical analysis can be used to determine preload and deflection of two angular contact ball bearings that are used to improve the precision of a machine tool spindle. Finally, complete discussions are given on the various types of closures (seals) that are available and how they aid the performance of ball bearings. Detailed information is given for the materials that are used in ball bearing components with a chart showing the temperature limitations of each. An innovative graph is included that can be used to calculate the oil viscosity needed for most ball bearing applications.
This 2 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers, aeronautical engineers, automotive engineers, design engineers, and any other discipline involved in the design of gears in machines or mechanical power transmission.
