Course content
Student elaborates a given design problem from the area of gear and shift mechanisms. The output of the project is a semestral work containing the necessary design and control calculations and technical documentation of the construction solution including production drawings. Scheldule seminars: 1. Introduction to leason. Assignment of semestral work. 2. Variant solution design - kinematic diagrams, solution analysis and selection of the most suitable variant. 3. Design of basic dimensions - input parameters, shaft diameters, gearing modules. 4. - 5. Design - forces in gears, bearing of individual shafts, calculation of reactions in bearing, choice of bearings, design of case. 6. - 7. Strength check of individual parts - reduced shaft stresses, safety, bearing check 8. - 12. Technical documentation - assembly, parts list, production drawings
