This online engineering PDH course presents a technical coverage of gear fundamentals. It is intended as a broad coverage written in a manner that is easy to follow and to understand by anyone interested in knowing how gear systems function. Since gearing involves specialty components, it is expected that not all designers and engineers possess or have been exposed to every aspect of this subject. However, for proper use of gear components and design of gear systems it is essential to have a minimum understanding of gear basics and a reference source for details.
Gear drives are the base components and lifeline in most mechanical transmissions and processing operations. With today's emphasis on reliability and operating efficiency, the selection of the proper drive has become increasingly important. The right choice can result in a big difference in productivity, operating costs, and energy savings. Selecting the right gear drive ideally brings together the gear manufacturer, the system designer, and the end user. At the outset, a gear manufacturer must know what the drive will be used for, the demands to be placed upon it, and the nature of the equipment it will be driving.
This 6 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers, automobile engineers, machine designers, factory & workshop personnel, O & M professionals, facility managers, estimators and general audience interested in gaining a basic understanding of gear drives. No specific prerequisite training or experience is required.

This online engineering PDH course introduces the basic principles of the rotational motion that occur in every day products such as washing machines, manufacturing machines, automobiles, industrial equipment, and airplanes. Without anti-friction bearings, these products would be larger, heavier than and not nearly as efficient as they are today. Anti-friction bearings support the mechanism that cleans the clothes in a washing machine; they support the many shafts that are found in manufacturing machines and automobile transmissions; and they support the ever increasingly sized rotors in an airplane jet engine. They are called "anti-friction" because they operate in the high 90% efficiency range and therefore save countless amounts of energy in today's dynamic world.
