Growth and Potential

Here at Virgo Communications we take very seriously our role as a provider of information and a facilitator of trade and business opportunities. Even
though the economic climate has been somewhat difficult over the last year, were extremely optimistic about the potential for growth for those in the gear and power transmission industries. It is widely reported that India is one of worlds leading growth generators for industrial and infrastructure development, and continues to show generally constant growth in the manufacturing sector. Technological growth, regulatory reform and skilled workers, along with rapid globalization and sharp competition among nations, have been the catalysts driving commerce in India. A study by McKinsey & Company estimates that rising domestic demand in India, along with multinationals desire to enlarge their footprint here, could boost the countrys manufacturing sector six-fold by 2025 to U.S. $1trillion while creating up to 90 million domestic jobs. Also, owing to the availability of a massive workforce, a robust supply base, and access to natural resources needed in production, India is definitely poised to become a viable manufacturing alternative to China. Not only that if the resources are efficiently utilised, India might even dominate some skill-intensive manufacturing sectors in the years to come. With that optimism in mind, we are busy preparing the next edition of the IPTEX trade show, which is emerging as one of the most promising platforms for those in the gear and power transmission equipment industry to network with peers and potential buyers and to market their products, services and capabilities to a diverse and motivated audience. IPTEX exists to provide an open forum to the members of this industry so they may share their knowledge, expertise and ideas with others in the industry, and to join in discussions on, for example, shop talk, supply chain, or international standards. Having recently returned from AGMAs Gear Expo in Indianapolis, we have seen the power of a highly targeted trade show and the value of gathering an industrys motivated professionals together at one venue. You can see our post-show coverage of Gear Expo on page 20). With your participation, IPTEX has the potential to be just as powerful a force in the Indian marketplace as Gear Expo is in North America. IPTEX continues to be Indias go-to venue for showcasing the countrys manufacturing sector and its latest advances in gear and power transmission component manufacturing. In fact, the AGMA itself has been a generous supporter of IPTEX, and has always encouraged its own members to look at participation here as an opportunity to expand their business. Virgo Communications strives to make IPTEX the perfect matchmaker between buyer, seller, and a wide array of gear and power transmission components. This shows third edition will attract more than 100 exhibitors and more than 5,000 visitors from varied user segments; indeed, IPTEX has won the appreciation and recognition of exhibitors and attendees from the Indian and global manufacturing industry. The 2014 show will also be co-located with Grindex an exhibition on grindGEAR TECHNOLOGY INDIA | Q4 2013

TOUTS GEAR SHAPING TECHNOLOGY

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has completed the development of a new gear shaping machine, the ST40A, capable of cutting a broad array of gears, including helical and cluster gears, with one system. The ST40As significantly expanded range of cutting applications derives from the first application in Japan of NC programming technology to the relieving motion that prevents interference between the cutter and the workpiece. The machine made its international debut in the United States with a live demonstration of its capabilities at Gear Expo 2013, in Indianapolis. The ST40A is a totally upgraded version of the ST40, a helical gear shaping machine requiring no helical guide for each workpiece. The ST40A has extended the ST40s cutting flexibility even further by incorporating Japans first NC-programmable relieving mechanism and making all seven of the machines axes fully NC-programmable. This new capability enables the ST40A to accommodate various high-precision cutting applications such as crowning and tapering. In addition, stroke speed has been increased by 20 percent, from the earlier 500 strokes per minute to 600, enabling high-speed cutting with a focus on productivity. Stroke speed when machining at lower speeds meanwhile has been reduced by 50 percent, from 60 strokes per minute to 30, enabling secure cutting of hard workpieces. The new machine is also capable of tapering up to 0.3 degrees without use of a tilt table. In these ways, the ST40A has been designed to fully address diverse user needs, including demand for a broader range of optional devices and functions, and enhanced operability, safety and energy savings. The company intends to market the ST40A for a wide spectrum of gear cutting applications for various products including automobiles, construction machinery and aircraft.

OFFERS LATEST SOFTWARE UPGRADES

KISSsoft covers a broad range of applications in a single software package. The latest release of KISSsoft (Version 03/2013) incorporates the newest advances in contact analysis for both cylindrical gearing and planetary geared systems as well as fine sizing for worm wheels and crossed helical gears.
For more information:

MHI-IPT Phone: +(91) 11 41021234 info@mhiindia.com www.mhiindia.com
Fine Sizing for Worm Wheels and Crossed Helical Gears For the calculation of worm wheels and crossed helical gears, fine sizing modules are now available (module ZD5 and ZE6). The KISSsoft fine sizing is applied to gear optimizations of all kinds from static strength to noise optimization. Thereby, the macro geometry is varied in desired areas and the optimal solution according to various criteria is selected from the calculated variants. Plastic helical gears can be directly calculated according to the new draft of VDI 2736. After the cylindrical and bevel gears, these fine sizing modules complete the sizing process for all teeth. Configurable Manufacturing Drawings for Cylindrical Gears For all cylindrical gears, custom configurable manufacturing drawings are now available in KISSsoft (module ZPK). The gear data and a range of different graphicssuch as flank modifications, etc.can now be displayed in one graphic, output to screen or paper, and sent to the gear manufacturer. At the same time, graphic position and scale can be set by the user on his own. Now gear data can be easily arranged and placed on the graphic. The settings are saved in a separate file and thereby adopted for all gears. This approach favors also the definition of
Schaeffler
OFFERS TRANSPARENT MACHINE TOOL TECHNOLOGY

Schaeffler showcased its machine tool technology during EMO Hannover 2013. With an emphasis on its Transparent Machine Tool, the company focused on meeting customer demands both economically and technically. Optimizing the overall system is always front and center in our minds, explains Martin Schreiber, the new manager of Schaefflers Production Machinery Business Unit. Along with bearing supports and guidance systems, this opens up for Schaeffler not only the entire direct-drive technology, but also the integration of additional functions into rotary and linear bearing systems, such as damping and measuring systems. Rotary Axes: Absolute Angular Measuring System Integrated into the Bearing Schaeffler has developed an angular measuring system integrated into the bearing with an inductive mode of operation that is suited to the demands of direct-driven highly dynamic and precise rotary axes in machine tools. This has resulted in further developments to the principle of integrating the SRM measuring system into a rotary axis bearing that was already implemented successfully in the YRTM series. The SRM measuring system combines high measuring speeds and precision as well as installation space reduction and robustness. It is not sensitive to contamination, features a center opening in the rotary axis, and impresses with how little alignment work it requires. Bearings of the new INA series YRTSMA are available in borehole diameters ranging from 200mm to 460mm. This is the mechanical equivalent to the highly rigid YRTS high-speed bearing series. Direct-Drive Technology for Turning and Milling Operations The rotary high-performance direct drive series RKI of INA Drives & Mechatronics AG & Co. KG (IDAM) offers 30 percent more torque comp are d to convent iona l torque motors, according to a Schaeffler press release. Energy efficiency is improved, and the operating costs drop significantly since cooling requirements are lower. For improved performance, it is possible to use smaller motors for the same capacity, thus reducing costs for the converter and motor Main Spindle: High-Speed Axial Bearings for High Performance and Precision The use of high-speed FAG axial bearings of the BAX series now makes speed parameters possible for
company standards. Those interested can look at the manufacturing drawing examples in a KISSsoft test license by e-mailing info@KISSsoftAG.com. Evaluation of Gear Modifications in the Radar Chart Another highlight in the KISSsoft Release 03/2013 is the extended settings and evaluation options for optimizing modifications of cylindrical and planet gears. A new feature is that the face load factor KH can now also be calculated. This therefore reveals the direct influence of the tooth trace modification on the safeties of the classic tooth root and flank load capacities. Modifications are evaluated in the radar chart, which also provides a very clear comparison, especially within different partial loads. Contact Analysis for Planetary Units The contact analysis has been greatly extended for planetary gear units (module ZA30). It is now possible to take into account the exact deflections of the shafts on the sun, the planet, and the internal gear. The planet carrier position is also determined by a shaft calculation, or can alternatively be specified as a displacement. The results are finally displayed in the 3-D system, ensuring maximum clarity. This provides a powerful analysis tool for the planet system. New dimensioning suggestions are now calculated for modifications, especially for planetary gear units (module ZA5). This ensures that tooth trace modifications can be specified accurately, on the basis of the planet carrier torsion and sun gear deformation.

Sandvik Coromant
INTRODUCES COROCUT QD
Sandvik Coromant introduces a brand new parting off concept for deep grooves and long overhangs. For volume bar-fed parts manufacturing, producers are continually seeking solutions that offer more efficient material usage to control their overall costs and support increased bar feed capacity. Ensuring process security through a predictable and consistent tool life is also important to ensure reproducible parts quality, particularly for parting off. With the introduction of CoroCut QD a range of solutions covering parting and SL blades, adaptors, shank and Swiss tools and a new generation of inserts for parting off these aspirations can be met. CoroCut QD builds on the well-proven Q-Cut and CoroCut ranges, and expands the options for these processes with a flexible, simple-to-use and easy-toselect tooling range. Key design features The focus areas in developing this new concept have been new tool material and a tooling design for greater process stability. The tool attachment is achieved via a smart, yet simple, userfriendly clamping mechanism. The tool tip seat is tilted 20 degrees and incorporates a back stop to withstand high cutting forces. For insert widths 0.078in. (2mm) and wider, the insert interface has a rail to increase stability. In developing CoroCut QD, attention has been paid to the development of new and upgraded parting geometries. When parting off a component, minimized cutting forces and efficient material removal are important. An insert should be as narrow as possible and have a geometry that makes the chip narrower than the groove to provide a parting off operation with good chip control and surface finish. Within the CoroCut QD concept are inserts with five parting geometries and one turning geometry as well as options for do-it-yourself grinding and tailor-made options for a broad range of material types. The PVD insert coating offers better adhesion, improved edge-line qualities and better ER tolerance.
aration of the axial and radial load in the bearing support. Since this means that there are no tilting effects that have to be absorbed, the kinematics are not adversely affected when there is a combined load. This makes the bearing support particularly robust. The user profits from a high degree of operating precision as a result of the high rigidity. The load carrying and rotary capacity are both excellent, giving good cutting performance and high productivity. Main Spindle: Friction Optimization by Means of Modern Bearings With the FAG RS (Robust and Speedy) for spindle bearings and TR (Thermally Robust) for cylindrical roller bearings, Schaeffler offers a combination of high load carrying capacity and high performance reserves for increasing speeds. At the same time, the friction-optimized inner design makes it possible to reduce the friction loss of the bearing support. This is primarily noticeable when the spindle runs for a long time at high speeds. The option to lubricate the bearing support with grease even at high speeds increases the operating safety of the spindle and lowers costs by eliminating the need for compressed air to supply the bearings with lubricant.

Liebherr
INTRODUCES LGG 180

Liebherrs new LGG 180 machine for profile and generating grinding combines short grinding times with consistent high largescale production quality, thanks to a onetable design. The advantage to the one-table solution is higher quality throughout the entire production. Every machined part is manufactured under the same conditions for the highest reproducibility, said Dr.Ing. Andreas Mehr, grinding and shaping technology development and consultancy at Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH. A key argument in favor of the one-table solution is the statistical capability and reliability in continuously producing controlled -range finish quality, Mehr emphasizes. The new grinding head allows for rotation speeds up to 10,000 rpm and has spindle power of 35 kW. Given this performance data, the head enables high cutting speeds and high feed rates. The new grinding machine can exploit the considerable potential of the innovative abrasive Cubitron II. The machine will enable undulations to be applied specifically to gear wheel flanks for noise optimization purposes for the first time. The ability to produce sub- range waviness cost-effectively gives designers a whole new range of optimization options. Production advantages The LGG machine delivers fast processing combined with the set-up advantages of a one-table solution. In addition, the machines for both 180mm and 280mm gears have the same compact external dimensions, facilitating installation within production lines. Vehicle manufacturers can thus develop a complete production line, in which all gearing components for a passenger vehicle transmission can be ground: planetary and sun gears, bore-type gears, as well as drive and pinion shafts with lengths up to 500 mm. In order to minimize any thermal impacts, the machine bed is of a thermally stable material. The core of the machine is the newly developed grinding head. Conventional solutions have been chosen here in several areas in order to be prepared for yet higher quality requirements.

Gleason Corp.
INTRODUCES PHOENIX 280G
The new Phoenix 280G Bevel Gear Grinding Machine establishes a new benchmark for bevel gear grinding for gears up to 280mm in diameter with a design thats reliable, highly productive and easy to operate and maintain. There are no rails, wires, or pipes in the work chamber to collect swarf, keeping the chamber clean for low preventative maintenance. In addition, the machine offers rapid set-up and all major set-up items can be completed without tools (tool-less), including the grinding wheel, coolant header and workholding. The coolant header has small blocks that can easily be swapped out by hand, while the grinding wheel can be released hydraulically. Some of the other significant features of the Phoenix 280G include: Reliability A well-designed work chamber ensures optimum swarf evacuation. The wheel dresser, for example, telescopes completely out of the work chamber to reduce the wiring/piping typically found there. The tool-less, quick-change coolant header design features a laser guidance device that makes part-to-part pipe alignment more efficient and repeatable when compared to manual alignment. Productivity Hig h-sp e e d direct-drive spindles combine with quickchange wheel, arbor and coolant header designs and automatic stock dividing (simultaneously with wheel dressing) to deliver faster floor-to-floor times. Accuracy Featuring the extreme rigidity of the Phoenix Monolithic column, cast from advanced polymer composite material to achieve very high thermal stability and damping characteristics. Easy to operate and maintain Equipped with powerful Fanuc 30i or Siemens 840D CNC, and Gleasons userfriendly software empowers even less experienced operators; Phoenix design simplifies installation, integration with robots and gantry-type automation, and maintenance.
Automatic stock divider- The 280Gs Automatic Stock Divider, mounted in close proximity to the workspindle, helps ensure consistently high gear quality. The unit automatically determines the tooth slot position of the pre-finished gear to provide accurate and reliable stock division, helping eliminate operator errors.

ing equipment will allow the vessel to operate in ultra-deep water and continue to push the boundaries of what was previously possible. During pipe laying operations, it is crucial to keep the pipe under tension to maintain the bending and axial stresses within acceptable range. Through continually controlling the tension on the pipeline being laid, integrity of the pipeline is guaranteed without the necessity of extensive support structures. If poor sea conditions result in an unworkable situation, i.e. the pipeline integrity cannot be guaranteed anymore, then the abandon and recovery (A&R) winches are used to lower the pipeline to the seabed in a precautionary abandonment procedure. When the conditions have improved, the pipe is recovered and the pipe laying operation can be continued. The A&R winch manufac turer required a reliable and very compact design as well as fast production times, and for these reasons Brevini was selected to supply the gearboxes. The custom-made gearboxes were based on the Posired 2 High Power series, a combination of the Posired 2 product and the S series planetary reduction. This extremely powerful and efficient gearbox is capable of an output torque of 135 kNm at a speed of 23.1rpm with an installed power of 520kW. The custom gearboxes were supplied with a custom-made bell housing and an integrated disc brake as well as temperature sensors for bearing and oil temperature. The specification also called for an offshore coating to be applied to ensure the package could withstand operating in the tough marine environment. Part of the procurement process required a complete factory acceptance test (FAT), where eight units were tested under full load for eight hours. As part of this process, four of the tests were witnessed by a surveyor from the owners of the vessel as well as the winch manufacturer. Having successfully completed assembly and testing, all 32 gearboxes were delivered, with eight being fitted to each winch assembly.
Jeff van Nobelen, project engineer at Brevini, comments, The scale and capacity of the Pieter Schelte demanded a high powered, high quality transmission with a proven track record. We were able to provide a flexible, adaptable product that could be designed around their requirements and still delivered at a competitive price and on realistic time scale.

THE LATEST
Interview with
Jan Klingelnberg
This the rst of a new series of Gear Technology proles of individuals you should know in the gear industry.
Q A
:Tell us a little bit about the history of Klingelnberg. When was Klingelnberg originally founded? When and why did the company get involved in the gear industry? :Klingelnberg was founded in 1863originally as a metal trading company. We have been located in Hckeswagen, Germany since 1916. Having started with the production of tools and machine knives in 1908, the company moved to Hckeswagen and eventually became involved with gearing technology. Consequently, in the 1920s we started designing and producing machines for bevel gear manufacturing based on the palloid system.
:For historical perspective, please describe the significance of the Klingelnberg cyclo-palloid tooth form and its development; i.e., why was it developed, how does it fit in the overall scheme of spiral bevel gear production, and, historically, how has it competed with other tooth forms? :First of all, cyclo-palloid is a widely used, universal gearing principle. The cutting tool is not specifically designed for a dedicated gear set. Rather, it is applicable for any ratio in a defined module range. This makes cyclo-palloid profitable and thus competitive, especially when the customer has small batch sizes and a high variety of gear designs.
ing in very geometrically precise gears to meet the highest quality demands.
A Q
Q A
:What were the significant technology contributions of Oerlikon, and how does that technology fit with todays operations? :Klingelnberg has always been very strong in the market of universal applications in industrial gear boxes. But decades ago, on the other hand, Oerlikon introduced the face hobbing principle to produce gears for automotive applications. This latter process provided significantly higher productivity, but every individual design required a dedicated tool. Oerlikon has been the market leader in lapping technology from the beginning of the 1990s. Since bevel gears for industrial gear boxes are mainly ground or skived, Klingelnberg did not initially have enough expertise in the area of high-volume products and lapping. But, by combining Oerlikons market knowhow and Klingelnbergs experience in CNC machine design, the group became a full-service supplier for bevel gear manufacturing in the automotive industry.
Q A
:Please describe how Heinrich Schicht invented Klingelnberg gearing and the challenges he originally faced with his invention. :Heinrich Schicht converted the basic principle of hobbing from cylindrical gears to spiral bevel gears. Instead of a cylindrical hob used for cylindrical gears, he applied a conical hob for bevel gears. His idea remains the basis for all further developments in this industry. The patent for his idea was applied for in 1921. It allowed the company to grow and go global from that point on.
:From a gear design perspective, cyclo-palloid always creates parallel tooth heights. This is important to mention since there are other gearing systems that apply a tapered tooth height. The lengthwise shape of the teeth, combined with the optimal tool diameter, provide the best conditions for maximum strength of a cyclo-palloid gear. :One important feature of cyclo-palloid is the hard finishing option. The machine executing the soft cutting operation is able to perform a hard cutting process called HPG skiving result-

Q A
:What are the keys to success for a family-run business (now in its seventh generation) operating on a global scale? :There are some valuable, inherent advantages to being a family-run business. Time, for example, is one key factor:we take our timein both marketing new developments and patiently striving for continuityeven in tough periods. On the other hand, our independence allows us to make quick decisions, even concerning strategic matters. Another factor that must not be underestimated is our commitment to our local community and our heritageimportant values that contribute to our staffs identification with the company.
A Q A
:With regard to the markets in general, what stands out is the increasing quality demands for gears, especially in the automotive industry. For us as a company in particular, it is the transition from machine tool supplier to solutions provider for technology partnerships. Application support along the entire process chain is what customers demand today.
Q A Q A
:What synergies have been achieved in the takeover of Hfler? :Of course we benefit from certain technological expertise, and the complementary product range of the two partners. Hflers strong R&D focus is a major asset to our company.
:Why was the recent acquisition of Hfler important for Klingelnberg? :Put simply, it was the logical completion of Klingelnbergs product range, adding cutting and grinding machines for cylindrical gearsboth in terms of application areas and customer industries served. The addition of Hfler Maschinenbau allows us to significantly advance in reaching our strategic goal of being able to provide all gear technologies as a one-stop shop.
:What regions of the world are showing the most promise for growth in gear manufacturing, and why? :One main factor that drives demand in the industry is, of course, the growth of the automotive sector in certain countries such as Russia, India, China and Brazil. This is nothing unique to gear manufacturing, of course, as it applies to several other industries as well.
:How has the gear industry evolved since you took over as CEO in 2004?
17
gear prole JAN KLINGELNBERG
Q A Q
:What innovations, changes or trends do you see in the coming years that will impact the worldwide gear manufacturing community? :The development of electric drives vs. combustion engines in automotive engineering will have a growing impact on our industry, for sure. Other than that, efficiency, noise reduction, unit costs and stable manufacturing processes will be the focus of development workboth for us and our customers.
Another important factor is making our machines easy to operate while providing ever more complex technologies. With our customers being globally active, they need to rely on reproducible quality worldwideno matter who operates the machine. Easy operation of our machines minimizes costly human errors and, in the final analysis, reduces costs per unit.
Q A
:Given your reputation for recruiting and retaining skilled workers, do you have any concerns in that regard? :In this context we find two trends especially important:first, we cooperate closely with local and regional schools and universities; second, we continuously invest in internal training and further education to strengthen our staff. This is something that will be of growing importance in our market, so we are well-prepared for future developments.
:What are your goals for the Klingelnberg group over the next five years? Can you discuss your expansion plans in Germany? Do you have plans to expand manufacturing outside of Germany? :Certainly one important step is relocating our site in Hckeswagen to new, nearby facilities; this will take place gradually during the next decade. In general, we will keep striving to deliver product innovations, just as we have been doing in the past or at an even higher level.
Q A Q A Q A
:What is Klingelnberg doing to accommodate those demands? :We listen to the markets and develop our solutions accordingly. This is, in our view, the only viable way to develop products that help customers reduce cost-per-unit and at the same time provide high qualitycertainly two of their main goals.

A Q A
:How has your North American distribution, sales and service organization changed over the last several years? :We have established new sales capacities and have expanded our network through Hfler based on their already strong presence in the USA.
:How have your customers demands changed in recent years? :What sticks out is the ever-growing demand for more efficiency in production. For this reason we introduced our trademarked 2 E efficiency label. The label stands both for high-performance and energy-efficient machines. In this context we are an active member of the sustainability initiative, Blue Competence (Ed.s Note:The Blue Competence machine tools initiative increases awareness and knowledge of sustainability and raises the energy efficiency bar in the European machine tools industry. The initiative offers a common platform to European machine tool companies and coordinates efforts for the development of energy and resource-efficient solutions).
:Describe the importance of Klingelnbergs unique gear manufacturing capabilities. (Specifically, regarding delivery time; quality; price; materials; new-application designs, etc.) :Customer satisfaction is the result of the optimal interplay between factors such as delivery time and reliability, quality of materials and service, and pricing. We are convinced that cheap solutions go against this interplay and thus against customer satisfaction. Furthermore, our team of innovative engineers lays the groundwork for refined solutions and new developments.

EMO Attracts Just Under 145,000 Trade Visitors
EMO Hannover 2013 came to a successful close on Saturday, September, 21 in Germany. This years EMO raised the bar in all areas, remarked EMO General Commissioner Carl Martin Welcker at the end of the fair in Hannover. With more visitors, more business and more international drawing power, this EMO has proven even more successful than last time around, impressively underscoring the events status as the worlds premier trade fair for the international metalworking industry, he said. More than 2,100 exhibitors from 43 different countries were on hand in Hannover to showcase their innovations to industrial users from around the world under the events keynote slogan of Intelligence in Production. Over the six days of EMO, the Hannover event attracted a total of just under 145,000 trade visitors from over 100 different nations. Visitors from outside Germany numbered more than 50,000, or one in three. Attendance from Europe was up markedly. European industry is rebounding, and keen on investing in manufacturing technology, Welcker noted. Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands and Russia topped the
attendance figures for the European continent. By a very wide margin, China accounted for the largest number of visitors from Asia, followed by Japan, Taiwan and India. According to a visitor survey, one out of every two attendees had a managerial status, with the authority to make purchasing decisions for their organizations. They reported their main motivation in attending as wanting to expand and modernize their production machinery. One out of every five visitors reported placing an order at the show. A similar number, at 20 percent, intended to finalize purchases after the event, with the figure being double in the case of customers from abroad. According to Commissioner Welcker: Many purchase orders, including several highvolume deals, were signed right here in Hannover. Exhibitors were also anticipating brisk after-show sales. Among all visitors with firm investment plans, each placed between four and five orders during their time at EMO. This figure was even higher than for the previous event two years ago, which took place in the midst of an economic upturn. EMO Hannover 2013 succeeded again in covering the entire bandwidth of the global machine tool market. This is where manufacturing experts come to
explore ways of improving operations, Welcker said. Visitors were particularly interested in solutions for boosting energy and resource efficiency, as well as user-friendly equipment and the intelligent integration of machines in addition to the evergreen themes of cutting manufacturing costs and increasing flexibility. In addressing these topics and more, the rich array of solutions and outstanding expertise on offer by EMO exhibitors added up to a high rate of visitor satisfaction. More than ever, EMO Hannover impressed its audience as the international flagship flair for Intelligence in Production. The average length of stay by visitors went up slightly to two full days, attesting to EMOs drawing power as an event that delivers maximum coverage. The next EMO will be staged from 5 to 10 October 2015 in Milan, under the motto Lets build the future. India needs machine tools worth more than 2 billion euros a year, and imports most of them. In the past five years alone, machine tool consumption has risen by almost 25 percent. The potential for further growth remains high in the medium term. There are many good reasons for the VDW to turn the spotlight on the Indian market at the EMO Hannover, says Martin Kapp, chairman
20
of the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders Association), Frankfurt am Main. On September 18, 2013, the VDW organized the EMO Focus on India event, entitled Strategic involvement of numerous major users, exploitation of potentials still restricted by structural deficits. The empirically based half-day seminar was designed to inform international visitors who want to expand their operations in India, on the idiosyncrasies of this market. The Indian government has to modernize its energy generating plants and ensure massive expansion of the road and railway networks if it wants to achieve its ambitious growth targets of 5 percent and more in the years ahead. Against this background, prominent international machine tool users are investing on the subcontinent for appropriate strategic positioning. The giant automaker Daimler, for example, is massively upsizing its production facility in Chennai, with the aim of manufacturing sturdy, affordable models for the Indian market. In the aircraft component supplier industry, India itself possesses some highly competent vendors like Tata, Hinduja and HAL, who manufacture components for the aircrafts interior and operate in what is called the
MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) category, and are entrusted with nonstrategic development projects. By 2028, the market volume for the MRO category alone in Asia/Pacific, China and India is predicted to exceed the figure for North America. The major users of machine tools in India will be increasing their capital expenditure on machinery in 2013/2014 by an average of more than 16 and 19 percent respectively. This means rises of 4 and 10 percent respectively in machine tool consumption in the same period. International machine tool manufacturers will be well advised not to neglect India, says Martin Kapp. If the China boom runs out of steam one day, India may become much more important. And then it will be pay-off time for those whove been consistently showing the flag, he adds.

Center in Indianapolis, sold out the exhibition floor by attracting 219 exhibiting companies across 52,500 net square feet of exhibit space. This milestone represents a 26 percent increase in exhibiting companies and a 29 percent increase in exhibit space over 2011. The event also united more than 3,400 industry professionals in 2013 (an 11.8 percent increase in attendance over 2011) and earned an 82 percent rebook rate during 2015 exhibit space selection. Gear Expo is a high-quality event focused on precision, power and partnerships, said Andrew Ortale, executive vice president of NTP. For more than two decades, gear professionals have relied on the eventand its exhibitors to provide the latest industry information, technology, products and services to help expand and streamline their businesses. The event continues to deliver real strategic value as demonstrated by its significant achievements and expansion, and we anticipate even greater success in 2015 as we celebrate AGMAs 100-year anniversary. For three days, gear buyers and manufacturers met face-to-face to discuss industry trends, demo the latest technologies and to network and build relationships that benefit their respective companies. NTP facilitates and manages the operations and exhibit sales for the event. Gear Expo 2015 will take place October 20-22, 2015 at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan. Notable exhibitors included Bevel Gears India, Shanthi Gears, Virgo Communications and Exhibitions and Mackeil Ispat & Forging Ltd. For a full report on EMO Hannover, visit www. emo-hannover.de.

Taking the Next Step

Gleason Offers Latest Manufacturing Technology for Indian Market
Matthew Jaster, Senior Editor
James Gleason laid the foundation for Gleason Works India on November 6, 1996. Initially, Gleason Works India undertook sales and service support for Gleason products manufactured in other operations, but within two years added the manufacture of bevel gear cutting tools to serve the domestic market, says K.P. Soundararajan, director and general manager of Gleason Works India. This was the first availability of Gleason cutting tools produced on Indian soil rather than being imported, a move that was welcomed by the consuming industries, including the automotive market. Over time, Gleason was able to leverage that reputation with the addition of cylindrical gear machines and gear metrology equipment, produced at their facilities in the U.S., Europe and Asia. I would say that the broad spectrum of gear-making processes combined with the domestic presence have enabled Gleason to acquire a unique place in India as a dependable machine tool and service provider, Soundararajan s a y s . S o m e o f t h e c o m -
panies are in the major commercial vehicle sector and include Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland, and in the steel manufacturing industries and their respective machine shops in companies like Tata Steel and Bhilai Steel. These plants require flexibility and simple technology to have the parts made quickly in house. According to Soundararajan, the Indian gear industry evolved several decades ago since the Second Five-Year Plan in the 1950s, during which domestic production of mechanical components was encouraged to support the sugar, cement and steel industries. Gears were one of the key mechanical components. The evolution continued as it moved to the automotive industry where joint ventures took place between Tata and Daimler, Premier and Fiat and so on, giving exposure to the need for more accurate gears to be manufactured and supplied during the 1960s. The growth of the automotive industry has continued to progress, along with the need for more refined gear production equipment and technology, which Gleason could provide.
K.P. Soundararajan is director and general manager of Gleason Works India.
With the advent of growth in heavy engineering and railways, the original equipment manufacturers started supporting the gear industry, and in many cases they themselves had gear production equipment. As Gleason has been a pioneer in providing gear technology to the market, they assumed a role in training the customer in the art and science of gear-making, Soundararajan says.
Gleason Works India Today
Today, Gleason Works India has around 65 employees comprised of technical, commercial and support service staff. Gleason products have been known to this market for many years, from the days when Gleason was primarily a producer of mechanical machines for producing straight bevel, spiral bevel and hypoid gears, says Soundararajan. The company gained a solid reputation in India as a producer of quality products that were well-supported.
22
Quality is the premier requirement in any industry and gear application in todays market. We have seen this in the realization of customers who use Gleason products in the energy sector or engineering or earth moving or aerospace applications, Soundararajan says. Gleason India supports the customer with total solutions. This means not only the ability to offer virtually every gear making process, but also to offer every element of those solutions. We provide not only the machine but also the process and the cutting tools and workholding to optimize the process. Customer expectations continue to get higher in all markets and India is no exception. Globalization has caused many companies to transfer production to India, and Gleason India plays a key role in getting the transferred equipment up and running, and then supporting production thereafter. We continue to adjust our organization and capabilities to meet this ever increasing demand, and we constantly look for opportunities to strengthen ourselves for the future, Soundararajan says. He continues, It is well known that the Indian economy is presently going through a rather sluggish period, and the slowdown in the economy has taken its toll on manufacturing efficiency and capacity utilization in industry. What we hear most often is that the expectation of the manufacturing industries is for a better 2014 and beyond. However, we envision the automotive industry growing at a more gradual and steady pitch rather than jumping ahead, because the industry consists of several manufacturers in several categories of vehicles. This could be followed by progress in the trend of defense equipment privatization that can provide opportunity for jobbing industries. This calls for absorption of relevant technologies on the manufacturing process and Gleason can provide an adequate support in this endeavor.
Overall we can assume that we should wait and watch how 2014 can form a stepping stone for further years ahead, since the demand within the country is more than the manufacturing industry can sufficiently address. Opportunities for export in the component industry have a possibility to grow according to statement of various experts in the industry by suitably merging the MNCs working together with Indian manufacturing industry to keep India as a hub for taking the finished components to other parts of the developing economy such as Brazil, Argentina and on the eastern side towards Thailand and Indonesia.
Latest Technology Developments
Some recently-introduced technologies have been in the energy sector, in the form of profile grinding of gears using the latest technology innovations and necessary software for optimizing the grinding process and user comfort. The introduction of dry cutting processes with carbide for automotive axle bevel gear sets is another example, as well as the production of cylindrical transmission gears using dry hobbing with integrated chamfering and deburring. Additionally, Gleason Works India is moving forward in the expansion of the products manufactured in India. We have started manufacturing Genesis gear hobbing machines, which
23

TAKING THE NEXT STEP
are state-of-the-art equipment for production of gears, to the exacting requirements of the auto industry, up to the passenger car level now, Soundararajan says. These machines are offered in such a way that they can suit gear jobbers and component suppliers as well, by adding or eliminating some of the machine optional equipment and peripherals. Moving forward we are strengthening ourselves in workholding manufacture with Gleason design. With our planned approach to manufacturing cylindrical gear cutting tools, we are confident that the combined offer of the machine and tooling solution will enable the customer to find a onestop solution.
Future Business Success
Since its inception, the Indian machine tool industry has been largely dependent on the domestic market. This is fine so
far but we believe that with increased local competition within India, our industry must become global. This is the quest for survival and growth within the country. Cost competitiveness has to be the key and therefore this should give way to supplement local manufacture wherever possible in products that seek technology transfer in order to become attractive to customers, Soundararajan says. With the currency presently being weak against a strong dollar or euro, the cost of capital goods is a concern to the manufacturing industry. The machine tool market is aware of this and needs to address how we can be competitive, and to find every way and means to accomplish this, Soundararajan believes its getting better, however. The process of gear making has gradually shifted from the OEM desk to a
strong support base of component or assemblies in India much like Europe decades ago. This provides an opportunity to support customers in the various segments by offering a single-source solution for all the aspects of high quality gear production. We are witnessing this in our day-to-day lives and we feel reasonably confident that this concept should continue to grow in our industry. Bundling machine tool packages is one of Gleasons tried and true business practices. For example, we can provide a gear measurement machine, appropriate software for various inspection requirements, suitable workholding and high precision mandrels, and also offer training in gear inspection technology to make our customer completely self-sufficient. In a similar way the answer can be given for a grinding solution or cutting
24
operation or a fine finishing gear honing solution. Soundararajan says that the manufacturing sector currently constitutes approximately 15-16 percent of the total GDP of India. The expectation of both the government and the private sector is to grow this figure to a higher level of perhaps 25 percent in 5-6 years time. This will require much planning and a lot of hard work. Some of the questions arising at open forums include how to evolve sustainable manufacturing at competitive pricing, and how to bring back useful items from manufactured products and recycle them to make the new parts, without the need for additional raw material. Technologies that use less resource of nature or less energy are valued. Lower power consumption, less oil consumption, and recycling some of the useful nonworn items back to use rather than manufacturing again, are good examples. Since these are concerns opined by various experts and driven thru minds of users I am sure that everyone will work towards these goals. Additionally, the opportunity for improving the manufacturing industry through exports will continue to grow, and cross-border know-how and migration of benefits will increase, all of which can enhance the flexibility and growth of manufacturing, notes Soundararajan. In my opinion, we should support some of the concepts of sustainability by using various methods to eliminate waste of precious resources. This is becoming a major thrust in India as it is in most developed countries. In our own business, we should think of rebuilding and remanufacturing our products that have been already used in the industry, with rejuvenation of the product as a theme, Soundararajan says. Every manufacturing industry should think along these lines to become successful.

How to Inspect a Gearbox

Jane Muller and Robert Errichello
(Gear Technology thanks Noria Corporation and Machinery Lubrication magazine for permission to reprint this article.) Although a comprehensive on-site gearbox inspection is desirable in many situations, there may be constraints that limit the extent of the inspection such as cost, time, accessibility and qualified personnel. Cost and shutdown time might be perceived as prohibitive by management, but catching a problem in its earliest stages can save time and money in the long run. While it may seem too difficult to do a comprehensive inspection, a simple visual inspection of gear contact patterns through an inspection port can prevent future catastrophic failures. If inhouse inspection expertise is not available, an expert can be hired to perform the inspection and train personnel. Overcoming constraints in order to allow an inspection can help to extend gearbox life and avoid catastrophic failure. This might also save time, money, injury to personnel and damage to adjacent equipment. This article describes the equipment and techniques necessary to perform an on-site gearbox inspection. assemble the necessary equipment (see sidebar on page 14). There are several sources of gearbox contamination, including those that are built-in, internally generated, ingressed, and added during maintenance. Many gearboxes operate in dirty environments. Therefore, good housekeeping methods should be used during inspections. Areas around inspection ports and other openings should be cleaned before they are opened. Inspectors should take care not to drop anything into the gearbox. Shirt pockets should be empty and tools should be stored in a tool belt. Ports should never be left open during breaks and should be closed and secured after the inspection is complete. Walk-around visual inspection. You should perform a thorough external examination before the gearbox inspection port is opened. Use an inspection form to record important data that would otherwise be lost once cleaning is completed. For example, before cleaning the exterior of the gear housing, inspect it for signs of overheating, corrosion, contamination, oil leaks and damage. Measure the tightening torque of structural fasteners that carry significant loads, such as torque arm bolts. Look for evidence of movement, including cracked paint or fretting corrosion at structural interfaces. Note the condition of the fasteners and inspect load-bearing surfaces of components for fretting corrosion or other evidence of movement.
Detecting Overheating
The following are signs of overheating: Smoke from shafts, seals or breathers Discolored or burnt paint on housings Water sprayed on the housing or shafts evaporates quickly, boils or crackles Temper colors on unpainted surfaces Melted plastic components, such as shipping plugs Low oil level in sight glass or on dipstick Dark oil in sight glass or on dipstick Foam in sight glass Water in sight glass or sludge on filter element (may indicate oil cooler failure) Metal chips on magnetic plugs, chip detectors or filters (may denote gear or bearing failure caused by overheating) Methods for Inspecting a Gearbox Visual walk-around Visual inspection through inspection ports Borescope inspection Measure temperature Thermometers Resistance temperature detector (RTD) probes Thermography Measure oil pressure Measure sound and vibration
Getting Prepared: Good Housekeeping is Essential
Before beginning an inspection, prepare an inspection form for documenting your observations. It should be designed for your specific application. Next,

Record temperatures from gearbox thermometers, thermocouples or resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). Measure oil sump temperature. For pressure-fed systems with an oil cooler, measure temperature at the gearbox oil inlet and outlet, as well as the cooler water inlet and outlet. Estimate gearbox housing and shaft temperatures using water spray. Survey the gearbox housing temperature by touching it with the palm of your hand and using temperaturesensitive paint, crayons and labels, or a digital thermometer probe. Check the gearbox housing temperature using an infrared thermometer or infrared imaging camera. Analyze gearbox oil for signs of oxidation or thermal degradation using onsite and laboratory tests. Analyze gearbox oil using particle counters, spectrometric analysis and ferrography to detect wear debris. Inspect internal gearbox components through inspection ports for signs of overheating, misalignment, inadequate backlash, inadequate bearing endplay or oil oxidation.
Measure gearbox sound and vibration and compare to allowable limits. Inspect the breather. The breather should be located in a clean, non-pressurized area away from contaminants. It should include a filter and desiccant to prevent ingress of dust and water. Also, ensure that the breather is shielded from water during wash-downs. Check shaft seals. Look for oil leaks at the shaft seals. If there are signs of oil leakage, the seals are probably allowing ingression of dust and water. If the gearbox has labyrinth seals, it should have external seals such as V-rings to prevent contaminant ingression. Inspect structural interfaces. Figure 1 shows cracked paint at an interface, which indicates there was movement. The 45 direction of the cracks suggests the component on the right moved downward relative to the component on the left. Examine through inspection ports. Examine the inspection port cover and determine whether all bolts are tight and the cover is properly sealed, or if there is oil leakage. Only qualified personnel should be allowed to open inspection ports; in some cases it is necessary to secure the ports with padlocks to enforce security. Clean the inspection port cover and the surrounding area. Remove the cover, being careful not to contaminate the gearbox interior. Count the bolts and store them in a separate container so there is no chance they will fall into the gearbox. Observe the condition of the gears, shafts and bearings. If the gears or bearings are damaged but still functional, management may decide to continue operation and mon-
itor damage progression. In this case, the gear system should be continuously monitored. You should also make certain there are no risks to human life. For critical applications, examine the gears with magnetic particle inspection to ensure there arent any cracks that prevent safe, continued operation. If there are no cracks, you should periodically perform a visual inspection and measure temperature, sound and vibration. Collect samples of the lubricant for analysis, examine the oil filter for wear debris and contaminants, and inspect magnetic plugs for wear debris. The best place to take an oil sample from a gearbox is as close to the gearset as possible. Using a minimess (Ed.s note: Hydrotechniks patented ball sealing threaded test point and plug-in coupling) sample port with tube extension will allow you to mount the sample port in the drain and manipulate the tube so that it terminates exactly where you want it. The rule of thumb for installing sample port tube extensions is to keep the end of the tube at least two inches away from any static or dynamic surface. You will need to flush the entire combination of tube extension, minimess sample port, sample port adapter and sample tube before you take your sample for analysis. Flush at least 10 times the volume of all the components prior to taking the sample for analysis. This typically works out to three or four ounces of fluid for a sample port with a tube extension of 12 inches. To prevent further damage to the gears and bearings from wear debris, replace

It is important to inspect gear tooth contact patterns because they can disclose gear mesh misalignment. The inspection should be done during commissioning of the gearbox to catch misalignment before it causes damage. Inspections should be regularly repeated to determine any changes in contact patterns caused by problems such as bearing failure. What to look for.

If cracks are found or the damage is severe enough to warrant removal of the gearbox, measure shaft coupling endplay and alignment before removing the gearbox. Note the condition and loosening torque of fasteners, including coupling and mounting bolts. To check for possible twist in the gear housing, install a dial indicator at each corner of the gearbox and then measure movement of the mounting feet as bolts are loosened. If theres no twist, each indicator will record the same vertical movement. If there is twist, calculate the twist from relative movements. If no obvious damage is detected, document the condition of gears and bearings with photographs, sketches and written descriptions.

For no-load tests, thoroughly clean and paint the teeth of one gear with a soft marking compound and then roll the teeth through the mesh so compound transfers to the unpainted gear. Turn the pinion by hand while applying a light load to the gear shaft by hand or a brake. Use clear tape to lift transferred patterns from the gear and mount the tape on white paper to form a permanent record. The compound PT-650 tooth marking grease from Products/Techniques Inc. works best. Scotch No. 845 book tape (two inches wide) is preferred for lifting contact patterns. Figure 6 shows contact tapes that indicate a contact pattern wandering from centered in some sectors of the gear to biased, toward the left end of the face width in other sectors. This type of misalignment is caused by run-out of the gear; it can only be corrected by replacing the gear with a more accurate one. Recording loaded contact patterns. For loaded tests, thoroughly clean the teeth with a solvent and acetone. Paint several teeth on one or both gears with a thin coat of machinists layout lacquer (DYKEM). Run the gears under load for sufficient time to wear off the lacquer and establish the contact pattern. Photograph the patterns to obtain a permanent record. If possible, record loaded contact patterns under several loads, such as 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent of full load. Inspect the patterns after running about
one hour at each load to monitor how the patterns change with load. Ideally, the patterns shouldnt vary with load. Optimum contact patterns cover nearly 100 percent of the active face of the gear teeth under full load, except at extremes along tooth tips, roots and ends, where contact should be lighter as evidenced by traces of lacquer. Think of on-site gearbox inspections as preventative maintenance. Problems caught early and corrected can prevent catastrophic, costly and dangerous failures down the road.

Recording Micropitting
A permanent record of micropitting can be obtained by rubbing fine graphite into micropitted areas and lifting the graphite pattern with transparent tape. The procedure is as follows: 1. Clean the tooth by rubbing with a clean, lint-free cloth soaked in fastdrying solvent. 2. Place a clean lint-free cloth on a flat surface and rub a drafting pencil on a file or sandpaper to coat the cloth with graphite. 3. Rub the entire tooth surface with the cloth so graphite covers micropitted areas, top-land and edges of the tooth. 4. Rub the entire tooth surface with a clean lint-free cloth to remove loose graphite. 5. Place a length of transparent tape over the entire tooth. Allow the tape to fold over the edges and top-land to define the boundaries of the tooth. Scotch No. 845 book tape works best. 6. Rub the back of the tape with a clean cloth to ensure intimate contact with the tooth surface.

Drive and Motor Basics

Allen Bradley (a Rockwell Automation company)
Introduction
An adjustable speed drive is a device that controls speed and direction of an AC or DC motor. Some high-performance drives are able to run in torque regulation mode.
DC Drives
DC drive control system. A basic DC drive control system generally contains a drive controller and DC motor as shown (Fig. 1). The controls allow the operator to start, stop and change direction and speed of the motor by turning potentiometers or other operator devices. These controls may be an integral part of the controller or may be remotely mounted. The drive controller converts a 3-phase AC voltage to an adjustable DC voltage, which is then applied to a DC motor armature. The DC motor converts power from the adjustable DC voltage source to rotating mechanical force. Motor shaft rotation and direction are proportional to the magnitude and polarity of the DC voltage applied to the motor. The tachometer (feedback device) (Fig. 1) converts actual speed to an electrical signal that is summed with the desired reference signal. The output of the summing junction provides an error signal to the controller and a speed correction is made.

Figure 3 Series-wound DC motor.
DC Motors
The following are the four basic types of DC motors and their operating characteristics: Shunt-wound. Shunt-wound motors have the field controlled separately from the armature winding. With constant armature voltage and constant field excitation, the shunt-wound motor offers relatively flat speed-torque characteristics. The shunt-wound motor offers simplified control for reversing, especially for regenerative drives. Published courtesy Rockwell Automation.
Figure 4 Compound-wound DC motor.

Series-wound. The series-wound motor has the field connected in series with the armature. Although the serieswound motor offers high starting torque, it has poor speed regulation. Serieswound motors are generally used on low speed, very heavy loads. Compound-wound. The compoundwound DC motor utilizes a field winding in series with the armature in addition to the shunt field, to obtain a compromise in performance between a series- and a shunt-wound type motor. The compound-wound motor offers a combination of good starting torque and speed stability. Permanent-magnet. The permanent magnet motor has a conventional wound armature with commutator and brushes. Permanent magnets replace the field windings. This type of motor has excellent starting torque, with speed regulation slightly less than that of the compound motor. Peak starting torque is commonly limited to 150 percent of rated torque to avoid demagnetizing the field poles. Typically these are low horsepower. Armature voltage controlled DC drives are capable of providing rated current and torque at any speed between zero and the base (rated) speed of the motor. The motor output horsepower is directly proportional to speed (50 percent horsepower at 50 percent speed). The term constant torque describes a load type where the torque requirement is constant over the speed range. Horsepower at any given operating point can be calculated with the following equation:

where: Torque is measured in Lb Ft Speed is measured in RPM
Constant Horsepower
where: N = RPM f = Frequency P = number of poles Some motors, such as in a typical paddle fan, have the capability to switch poles in and out to control speed. In most cases, however, the number of poles is constant and the only way to vary the speed is to change the applied frequency. Changing the frequency is the primary function of an AC drive. However, one must consider that the impedance of a motor is determined by the inductive reactance of the windings, in which: where: XL = Inductive reactance in Ohms f = Line frequency L = Inductance This means that if the frequency applied to the motor is reduced, the reactance and therefore impedance of the motor are reduced. In order to keep current under control, we must lower the

Armature and field-controlled DC drives. The motor is armature voltage controlled for constant torque-variable HP operation up to base speed. Above base speed, the motor is transferred to field current control for constant HP-reduced-torque operation up to maximum speed. Operation above base speed. One characteristic of a shunt-wound DC motor is that a reduction in rated field current at a given armature voltage will result in an increase in speed and lower torque output per unit of armature current.
AC Drives
The speed of an AC motor is determined for the most part by two factors: the applied frequency and the number of poles.

applied voltage to the motor as the frequency is reduced. This is where we get the phrase volts-per-hertz. The most common method of controlling the applied voltage and frequency is with a pulse-width-modulated PWM technique. With this method, a DC voltage is applied to the motor windings in timecontrolled pulses in order to achieve current that approximates a sine wave of the desired frequency. IGBTs (isolated gate bipolar transistors) are the latest technology and offer the ability to switch the PWM pulses very quickly. This allows several thousand pulses to be applied in one cycle of the applied motor frequency. More pulses in a given cycle result in a smoother current waveform and better motor performance.
AC Motor Types
AC motors can be divided into two main types: induction and synchronous. Induction motors are most common in industry. Synchronous motors are special-purpose motors that do not require any slip and operate at synchronous speed. The induction motor is the simplest and most rugged of all electric motors. The induction motor is generally classified by a NEMA design category. But before a meaningful discussion on NEMA-type motors can take place, we should first look at what makes up a speed-torque curve. Anatomy of a speed-torque curve. Generally speaking, the following can be said about a speed torque curve when starting across the line. Starting torque is usually around 200 percent, even though current is at 600 percent; this is when
Figure 7 Motor speed and load characteristics.
Figure 8 Speed torque curve.
slip is the greatest. ( Starting torque is also called blocked-rotor torque, lockedrotor torque or breakaway torque.) Such a large onset of current may cause the supply voltage to dip momentarily, affecting other equipment connected to the same lines. To prevent this, large motors will connect extra resistors to inductors in series with the stator during starting. Extra protective devices are also required to remove the motor from the supply lines if an excessive load causes a stalled condition. As the motor begins to accelerate, the torque drops off, reaching a minimum valuecalled pull-up torquebetween 2540 percent of synchronous speed (Point B). Pull-up torque is caused by harmonics that result from the stator windings being concentrated in slots. If the windings are uniformly distributed around the stator periphery, pull-up torque is greatly reduced. Some motor design curves show no actual pullup torque and follow the dashed line between points A and C. As acceleration continues, rotor frequency and inductive reactance decrease. The rotor flux moves more in phase with the stator flux and torque increases. Maximum torque (or breakdown torque) is developed at point C, where inductive reactance becomes equal to the rotor resistance. Beyond point C, (points D, E and F) the inductive reactance continues to drop off but rotor current also decreases at the same rate, thus reducing torque. Point G is synchronous speed and proves that if rotor and stator are at the same speed, rotor current and torque are zero. At running speed the motor will operate between points F and D, depending on load. However, temporary load surges may cause the motor to slip all the way back near point C on the knee of the curve. Beyond point C the power factor decreases faster than current increases, causing torque to drop off. On the linear part of the motor curve (points C to G), rotor frequency is only one-to-three Hertz almost DC. Inductive reactance is essentially zero and rotor power factor approaches unity. Torque and current now become directly proportional i.e., 100 percent current produces 100 percent
52
torque. If a 1-HP motor has a nameplate current of 3.6 amps, then when it draws 3.6 amps (at proper voltage and frequency) it must be producing 100 percent of its nameplate torque. Torque and current remain directly proportional up to approximately 10 percent slip. Notice that as motor load increases from zero (point F) to 100 percent (point E), the speed drops only 4555 RPM or about 3 percent of synchronous speed. This makes the squirrel cage induction motor very suitable for most constantspeed applications (such as conveyors) where, in some cases, 3 percent speed regulation might be acceptable. If better speed regulation is required, the squirrel cage motor may be operated from a closed-loop regulator such as a variablefrequency drive. The locked rotor torque and current, breakdown torque, pull-up torque and the percent slip determine the classifications for NEMA design motors. The speed-torque curve and characteristics of each design are as follows: Design A. Low-resistance, low-inductance rotor producing low starting torque and high breakdown torque. The lowresistance characteristic causes starting current to be high. It is a high-efficiency design; therefore the slip is usually three percent or less. Design B. Higher impedance rotor producing a slightly higher starting torque and lower current draw. For this reason, Design B motors are a general-purposetype motor and account for the largest share of induction motors sold. The slip of a Design B motor is approximately 35 percent or less. Design C . Uses a two-cage rotor design high-resistance for starting and low-resistance for running (Fig. 12). This creates a high starting torque with a normal starting current and low slip. During starting most of the current flows in the low-inductance, outer bars. As the rotor slip decreases, current flows more in the inner, low-resistance bars. The Design C motor is usually used where breakaway loads are high at starting, but are normally run at rated full load and are not subject to high overload demands after running speed has been reached. The slip of the Design C motor is five percent or less.

Figure 11 AC induction motor: Design C.
Figure 12 AC induction motor: Design D.
53
technical
Design D . Highest resistance rotor creating high slip, high starting torque and low starting current. Because of the high amount of slip the speed varies dramatically with load. The slip of this type motor is approximately five to eight percent. This high slip characteristic relates to a low-efficiency design and a motor that runs hot.
Synchronous Motors
Figure 13 Synchronous motor: Percentage rated torque and speed.
Figure 14 Wound rotor: Percentage rated torque and speed.
Synchronous motors operate at synchronism with the line frequency and maintain a constant speed regardless of loadand without sophisticated electronic control. The two most common types of synchronous motors are reluctance and permanent magnet. The synchronous motor typically provides up to a maximum of 140 percent of rated torque. These designs start like an induction motor but quickly accelerate from approximately 90 percent sync speed to synchronous speed. When operated from an AC drive they require boost voltage to produce the required torque to synchronize quickly after power application. Also available in high-horsepower motors is the separately excited synchronous motor; this design requires a loadcommutated inverter (LCI). Wound rotor. Some large motors may have a wound rotor, allowing the motor characteristics to be altered by adding resistors in series with the rotor. This effectively lets the user define the motor torque curve as NEMA A, B, C or D. More resistance means higher slip and higher starting torque across the line, while using a low value of series-resistance results in lower slip and greater efficiency. Often the resistors will be present

for start-up and then jumped out while running. In a case where a wound rotor motor is fed by an AC drive, the wound rotor connections should be permanently jumpered (no series resistance added). A motor rated for 60 Hz operation may be run at higher frequencies when powered by an AC Drive. The top speed depends upon the voltage limits of the motor and its mechanical balancing. 230 V and 460 V motors normally employ insulation rated for as much as 1,600 V, so the voltage limit is not usually a problem. An average two-pole industrial motor can safely exceed its base speed by 25 percent. Many manufacturers balance their three- and four-pole rotors to the same speed: 25 percent over the two-pole base speed. A four-pole motor may therefore operate up to 125 percent over base speed before reaching its balance limit. A 60Hz four-pole motor might run up to 135 Hz, whereas a 60 Hz two-pole motor would reach its balance limit at 75Hz; both motors would run at the same RPM. Always contact your motor manufacturer if you plan to operate at these speeds.
Constant-voltage operation. What happens to the volts-per-Hertz ratio above rated frequency? If output frequency is increased to 120Hz with 100 percent voltage applied to the motor, the voltsper-Hertz of the drive is no longer 7.6 but rather 3.83. The same volts-per-Hertz ratio results when a line-started motor is operated at 60 Hz with only a 50 voltage applied (for reduced voltage starting). As might be expected, the effect on torque is the same; recall that torque varies as the square of the applied voltage:
T = K1 xE 2
(4)
As such, maximum torque at 120Hz is only 25 percent of the maximum torque at 60. If the AC drive output frequency is reduced from 120 Hz to 90 Hz at a constant voltage, the volts-per-Hertz ratio improves from 3.83 to 5.1 V/Hz. This is the same as providing 66 percent voltage at 60 Hz to a line-started motor. Torque will be 0.662, or 44 percent of the full voltage torque at 60 Hz. Figure 15 illustrates the peak torque curve for constant
voltage operation from base speed to four times base speed. Since the voltage, in reality, is not changing above base speed, it is more appropriate to define torque in terms of frequency change instead of voltage change. It can be stated then that torque above base speed drops as the square of the frequency; i.e.: doubling the frequency quarters the available torque. Applied frequency and synchronous speed are equivalent; going one step further, torque may be defined in terms of speed. So in the constant voltage range, motor torque drops off as the inverse of synchronous speed squared, or 1/N2. (Fig. 16). Many machine applications are constant-horsepower in their load characteristics. As speed increases, the torque drops off as the inverse of speed, or 1/N. The torque drop-off is not as severe as the motors peak torque1/N2. Figure 16 compares peak torque to rated torque.

Worm Gears
QUESTION #1
First response provided by Joe Mihelick, Gear Technology Technical Editor: The center of the single enveloping worm is straightforward, as it is at a plane passing through the axis of the worm at its outside diameter. The center of a double enveloping worm gear is a bit more involved. It is nominally located at a plane passing through the worm gear at its root diameter. If the worm gear is throated, the location of the minimum diameter of the throat will locate the nominal center of the worm gear. This is more useful for the manufacturing process but is less important in the successful operation or the worm worm gear pair. The successful operation of worm gearing involves the actual contact pattern between them. The observed contact

pattern is to be from the nominal center of the worm gear towards the leaving side of the worm gear as determined by the direction of the worm rotation.
Second response provided by Charles D. Schultz, PE, Chief Engineer for Beyta Gear Service, and Gear Technology Technical Editor (gearmanx52@gmail.com): Short answer: It depends upon who is asking and what the intended application is. If you are specifying an off-theshelf solution, you can rapidly determine the appropriate size from supplier catalogs. Commercially supplied worm gear speed reducers are available in a wide range of sizes, ratios and assembly configurationsfrom both U.S.-based and off-shore companies. Worm gearing is not as standardized as spur, helical and bevel gearing. Several different systems coexist in the marketplace, and each has its proponents. In the smaller gearbox sizes (less than 4-inch center distance), exterior and mounting dimensions have become standard and users can easily interchange between brands. Larger units have no such commonality, and users are well advised to carefully consider all factors of supply (initial cost, availability, service factor and after-sales support) before selecting a vendor. Published ratings can be based on AGMA, DIN, The study of worm gears has come a long way: 16th century ISO or other methods, and worm gear illustration (courtesy Leonardo daVinci).
have generally been applied with few problems. While each manufacturer will tout their particular tooth design as having performance advantages, the key factor in power capacity remains the physical size of the parts and the mechanical properties of the materials used to make them. Worm gears have some unique capabilities that can be used to good advantage in machinery design. They are the only gear system where gear ratio does not affect the outside diameter of the rotating parts; this means a machine can easily be supplied with a wide range of ratiossay 5:1 to 70:1without a center distance change or multiple reductions. Another capabilityself-lockingcan be a boon or a bane, depending upon your goals. Understanding these aspects of worm gearing can be a lifelong project, but users should ask the suppliers about it before ordering. The long answer: Many systems have been developed for worm gearing over the past 100 years. Each of them has its proponents and, oddly enough in the normally polite world of gear engineering, opponents. If offthe-shelf components wont work for your applications, you have to pick one of these competing systems and wade through the often confusing recommendations to develop your gear set. Custom-made tooling is expensive and takes critical lead time to obtain, so designers are encouraged to use existing hobs and fly cutters. I recommend the design system found in Daryl Dudleys Gear Handbook, along with the worm hob charts on Ash Gear and Supplys web site. AGMAs standards

QUESTION #2
A gear handbook in my possession states: The ZI worm is identical to an involute helical gear whose tooth number is the number of worm threads. Equations of tooth surfaces of an involute helical gear are the same as for an involute worm. Knowing that a ZI hob cutter is identical to a ZI worm, I conclude that the mesh of the ZI worm and involute helical gear is identical to a cross involute helical gear mesh; and even identical to the hobbing process of an involute helical gear with a ZI hob cutter. I would like to know whether I am correct and what is their difference. are the most reliable rating method for the independent designer. If your requirement is for instrument gearing or plastic gearing, it is recommended that you work with a supplier of such parts or an experienced design engineer. Tooling costs can be very high, and the performance of prototype sets can vary depending upon manufacturing method. Molded plastic teeth do not have exactly the same topography as cut gears; veteran suppliers of plastic gearing understand the changes needed to make sample parts that will work reliably without skewing test results. Worm gearing design is an iterative process which can be frustrating the first few times you work through it. Standard worm hobs may not converge on the solution you would prefer. Some suppliers can make worm gears using fly toolsa custom singlepoint cutter that allows more flexibility in design than the standard hobs. The cutting process is, by necessity, much slower than hobbing, but for one-off or low-volume requirements it is often the best solution. Regardless of the tooling ultimately employed, custom worm gearing design requires compromises on center distance, face width and numbers of teeth/threads. More than any other gear type, your results may vary is an appropriate disclaimer. Response provided by Hermann J. Stadtfeld, vice president - bevel gear technology - R&D for Gleason Corporation.
Worm Gear Generation and their Manufacturing Tools
The question will be answered considering the different possibilities in profile form, kind of mesh, and type of tools. Figure 1 contains the general nomenclature used to define the geometry parameters. Worm gear drives can be separated in three categories: Case A. Crossed helical worm gear drives Case B. Cylindrical worm gear drives Case C. Double-enveloping worm gear drives Cylindrical worm gear drives B are the most common form. Their tooth profiles of the worms depend on the manufacturing method. The different profile forms according to DIN 3975 are: ZI: Tooth profile in face section is an involute; manufactured, for example, by hobbing, like a cylindrical pinion. The hob for the worm gear manufacturing is a duplicate of the worm (however serrated and considering clearance and backlash). ZA: Profile is a trapezoid in an axial section; manufactured, for example, by turning. ZN: Profile is a trapezoid in a normal section; manufactured, for example, by turning with cutting blade tilted to lead angle of worm. ZK: Profile with crowning. Tool is disk cutter with trapezoidal profile, which is tilted to lead angle of worm. Profile crown generated depending on disk cutter diameter. ZH: Disk cutter with convex cutting edges, causing hollow flank profiles in axial section on worm teeth. Disk cutter axis is parallel to worm axis (not tilted like ZK). A. Crossed helical worm gear drive. This is a special case of crossed helical gears, where the worm is a helical gear with one to six teeth, and the worm gear has a high number of teeth (e.g., above 30). The pitch elements of a crossed helical worm and worm gear are cylinders (Fig. 2). Both membersworm and worm gearare manufactured like helical gears, with standard hobs, for example. The profile of both members is involute. The hobbing tool Figure 1 Worm gear drive nomenclature, single-throat in Case A is not identical to example (graphics courtesy of Gleason)

the worm. The two members have line contact, which appear instead as point or small contacting zones. B. Cylindrical worm gear drives (single-throat worm gear drives). A typical worm gear drive; here the worm also has one to six teeth (starts), and the worm gear has a high number of teeth (e.g., 30 to 300). The pitch elements of a single-throated worm and worm gear are shown in Figure 3. The worm is manufactured on a lathe or with a disk milling cutter. The profile is not a generated involute but a straight line. The geometry of a cylindrical worm therefore is similar to an ACME screw. The worm gear is manufactured with a hob and the hobs enveloping surface is identical to the mating worm. This enveloping surface generates the same involute profile on the worm teeth as seen in Case A. However, the tooth thickness of the hob is thicker by the desired backlash amount. The difference in the gear in Case A is the shape of the pitch element, which in Case B has a hyperbolic form known as throat. The throat is formed merely by plunging the hob cutter at the center of the face width. The two members have line contact that appears on the worm gear member like slim ellipses with a major orientation (if projected in an axial plane) parallel to the worm gear axis. C. Double-enveloping worm gear drives (double-throated worm gear drives). These are special types of worm gear drives with a very high contact ratio and high torque transmission abilities. Again, here the worm has one to six teeth (starts) and the worm gear has a high number of teeth (e.g. 30 to 300). The pitch elements of worm gear and worm have a hyperbolic appearance which is why Case C is called double-throated (Fig. 4). The worm is manufactured on a lathe, where the cutting blade profile rotates around a center point while it moves along the face width. The distance between the cutting blade pitch point and the center of blade rotation is identical to the pitch radius of the worm gear. The profile is not a generated involute, but in a straight line. The worm gear is manufactured with a hob that has the pitch diameter of the worm at the center of the throat and the same number of starts, unlike the number of worm teeth. Also, here the worm gear is cut (as in Case B) by plunging with the hob cutter at the center of the worm gears face width. The two members have line contact that appears even under light load, as with large elliptical zoneseven in single angular positions. It should be mentioned that in Case B, where the worm gear tool resembles the mating member within the flank surfaces, there remain several differences. The tool face is extended in order to machine sufficient toproot clearance, and the top-land corners to the flanks are rounded with the desired root fillet radius. The dedendum depth of the tool is equal to the addendum of the worm, plus an excess amount to prevent any cutting action at the worm gear top-lands. The short answer to all conclusions the questioner has posed is yes.

India Gaining by Its Own (Medical) Devices

India, just like every country these days, has its economic worries and challenges. The fact
remains, however, that the country has the third largest GDP in Asia after China and Japan. According to reportlinker.com, Indias Economic growth hit a decade-low of 5.0 percent in 2012, but growth rates are expected to gradually pick up, reaching 5.5 percent in 2013 and 6.0 percent in 2014. A major part of daily life is healthcare and, relatedly, the medical device industry. According to several reports, thats a niche that some foreign players are aggressively looking to fill. Reports also suggest, merely the continued growth in Indias population ensures a waiting market and fertile ground for R&D and manufacturing. And that development has not gone unnoticed by others. Fiercemedicaldevices.com reports that New Delhis Medtec India show, according to Plastics News, provides a good gauge for determining who those others may be. While most medical devices are still imported, there are definitely companies looking to get an early step up on what many feel will be a steadily growing and competitivemarket. For instance: USA-based SMC Ltd. launched a manufacturing facility in Bangalore in 2011 and is planning to make plastic medical devices there for cardiovascular, respiratory and orthopedic use; the Swiss company, Mikron, a maker of high-precision assembly and testing equipment, is looking to set up shop in both China and India; and FLG Automation, a German company, is intending to manufacture dialysis and filter-technology components in India. The reasonable consensus among analysts is that Indias burgeoning population growth is spurring government to modernize the countrys healthcare system including the regulation of medical devices. While the private sector remains Indias primary care provider, there is a growing need of high-quality, hightech medical equipment to serve those not in a private health plan and that is a high number. Reports indicate that health insurance coverage remains low, with private health insurance covering less than 5.0 percent of private health spending, and only around 3.2 percent of total health expenditure. Since 2008, the government has funded a program to provide health insurance coverage for the very poor, which currently covers around 32 million families. SMC, the American device maker, considered this an opportunity for growth in India when it opened its manufacturing facility in 2011. And in a December 2012 Plastics News (ITAL) story reported by Satnam Singh, We are planning to manufacture plastic medical devices for cardiovascular, respiratory and orthopedic systems in India and we have started producing a couple of devices for cardiovascular systems in our Bangalore plant, said company spokesman B. Balakrishna Menon. Interestingly, SMC also plans selling into the U.S. and Europe from its Bangalore plant. According to Menon, the plants capabilities include device and tool design, prototyping, tool-making, component molding, sub-assemblies and finished devices. And at Mikron, Earlier, we were focusing more on the European markets, but now focus is on India and China, as both are growing markets, said Mikron Automation regional sales manager Harald Herrmann. Potential is there in India, but the degree of automation is low. As for FLG, it is more of a wait-andsee stance: We have not sold any equipment to India as yet; we are studying the market, said Thomas Simon, sales manager for FLG medical technology. And there are other skeptics who believe it is too soon to jump into the fray.
Pawan Urs M., a regional sales manager for quick-disconnect maker Colder Products Co. of St. Paul, Minnesota, believes the market in India is certainly growing but, for now, at too slow a pace. The Indian medical device market is growing slowly and is in a nascent stage, not comparable to China, he said. The high-tech medical devices are largely imported in India. We see lot of potential in this market, but it still has long way to go. And yet a recent report by visiongain. com, a London-based business analyst, predicts that the Indian medical device market will reach $11 billion by 2023. Last year, the Indian medical device market generated $3 billion in sales. Rupali Vadhera, a healthcare industry analyst, credits the growth to the government for expanding healthcare coverage to rural areas and to the growth in the private hospital sector. The Indian medical device industry has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, as a result of increased awareness amongst the end-users, and affordability of healthcare products and services with the increasing spending power. The availability and easier access to healthcare has increased the use of medical devices. (Sources for this article: reportlinker.com; Fiercemedicaldevices.com; Plastics News; and visiongain.com.)
