MTS06

Failure Analysis of Mechanical Power Transmission Components

Understand the causes of failures of power transmission components (shaft, gears and bearings) to better avoid them. Implement appropriate corrective actions using a structured failure analysis approach.

Objectives:

Upon completion of the training, the attendants will be able to carry out the following:

  • Identify the different aspects of the incriminated parts and the causes
  • Interpret the damage in areas affected by equipment failure
  • Implement the damage analysis and the appropriate corrective actions
  • To exchange with experts in the field

Date:

TBA

Time:

TBA

Pre-requisites

To have notions of metallurgy, mechanics and kinematics of the gears.

Pedagogical means:

Teaching method alternating theory and practice through case studies or works directed.

Who should attend:

Engineers, technicians and more generally anyone facing damage problems in gearboxes and gear sets.
