The THORS Engineering Drawings for Spur and Helical Gears course introduces the learner to the most common elements of spur and helical gear engineering prints including the gear data block and typical drawing notes and their specification. Users will be able to relate each element of a spur or helical gear drawing to the equipment and capability required to produce that part.
Learning Objectives
- Understand all the aspects unique to spur and helical gear drawings.
- Identify the focal points for a spur gear and helical gear drawing.
- Explain the need for the gear data block and the different elements contained within it.
- Describe the importance and properties of the notes section of gear drawings.
- Summarize why spur and helical gear drawings require specific dimensions and list them.
- Apply learned skills to additional spur and helical gear drawing examples.
- Recall why size is a focal point on gear drawings and how it applies to OEMs.
- State why tooth size designation is a focal point on spur and helical gear drawings.
- Discuss why quality is a focal point on spur and helical gear drawings.
- Recite why material and heat treatment is a focal point on spur and helical gear drawings.
