Didactic Kit

Transmission Technology
Item No.: 50770

Be it in materials handling technology or in pumps, fans or agitators: Helical gear units are classic components in the field of drive technology. That is why our didactics program for gear unit technology comprises kits based on real helical gear units.

Targeted learning on an industrial gear unit

Due to the increasing number of technologies employed in practice, there is ever greater pressure on future specialists to rapidly acquire extensive expertise in the field of mechanical drive technology. With this in mind, we have created our didactics program for gear unit technology.

The "helical gear unit R57FAD2" didactics kit is based on our R series of standard gear units and is designed specifically as a teaching aid for professional training. This also applies to the relevant accessory components and spare parts. The kit is clearly arranged in two robust plastic cases, which can also be stacked on top of one another.

This teaching aid is designed exclusively for didactic training and is perfectly suited for use in education and further training, including in vocational schools, technical and specialist colleges, universities and company training centers. This simple yet practical module allows future specialists to learn how a helical gear unit is structured and how it transmits forces:

  • It facilitates understanding of the machine elements
  • The theory behind the gear unit is presented in a practical manner, thus making it more easily understandable
  • The assembly or disassembly of the gear units can be easily repeated without the need for expensive pressing tools

Perfectly prepared for increasing technical demands

As a means of torque and speed transmission, gear units are an essential component of electric and mechatronic drive units. One important aspect in this regard is the change in direction of rotation. For this reason, specialists require extensive knowledge of the structure and configuration of the various components of a gear unit – ranging from project planning to implementation and maintenance.

Trends such as energy efficiency represent new challenges, but also offer opportunities for higher qualification. With our didactics modules for gear unit technology and our long-standing expertise, teachers and instructors will be well equipped to cover these topics of the future.
