Motion + Power Technology Expo 2019 Expands to Meet Demand
October 15-17, 2019 • Detroit, Michigan • TCF Center
The Motion + Power Technology Expo (MPT Expo) connects the top manufacturers, suppliers, buyers, and experts in the mechanical and gear power, electric power, and fluid power industries for three action-packed days in Detroit’s TCF Center. Attendees can shop the latest technology, gear products, and services, and compare benefits side-by-side while gaining best practices and new ideas from like-minded colleagues as well as cross-sector collaboration.
More than 300 exhibitors from across the supply chain including gear companies, machine tools suppliers, and electric drive solutions will conduct demos, host information-rich seminars, and offer technical expertise. Some of the industry leaders showcasing new products and services include Timken Power Systems, Meritor, EMAG LLC, Gleason Corporation, Kapp Group, Mitsubishi Heavy Industry America, among others.
Fluid power industry professionals can learn from 16 subject matter experts on the latest topics affecting their fields, including cybersecurity, supply chain, 3-D printing, robotics, and more in a two-track seminar series called the MPT Conference. The Expo will also offer the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) Fall Technical Meeting and short course technical seminars hosted by AGMA and the National Fluid Power Association in several education courses.
The education courses provide exclusive access to a wide-ranging series of technical seminars taught by industry leaders and insiders. From novice to expert, there are courses for all career-levels. Each course is conveniently situated just steps from the MPT Expo floor — so you can combine classroom learning with hands-on experience with the equipment.
This one-of-a-kind trade show and conference will also bring 4,000 professionals together to exchange insights and network with colleagues from across the mechanical power transmission, fluid power, and electrical drive industries during receptions, private meetings, one-on-one time with suppliers, and exchanges in the education sessions throughout the show.
Expanded to three days due to popular demand, the MPT Expo (formerly known as the Gear Expo) provides an evolving motion and power transmission marketplace. Additionally, top researchers from across the globe will provide the latest information on their peer-reviewed gear industry research and share what is in the future for the industry.
The conference is designed for both thinkers and doers, bringing speakers who will provide the most current information and unmatched opportunities to make connections and shop the latest products, services, and technologies for the highly focused motion + power system audiences, including a unique Fluid Power Pavilion. Throughout the Expo, exhibitors represent a variety of fields, including automotive, material handling, machine tool manufacturing, agriculture, automotive, off-highway, construction, and more. Just a few days spent meeting with experts will help keep businesses ahead of the curve for years to come.

M+PTE Technical Meetings
Monday, October 14
Technical Session I:
Application, Design, and Rating
Moderator: Jason Daubert, FLSmidth, Inc.
Electric Vehicle Transmissions with Hypoid Gearset (19FTM01)
Dr. Hermann Stadtfeld, The Gleason Works
This paper presents a new design concept which utilizes a super reduction hypoid with a ratio between 8 and 15.
Misalignment Compensation Splines Design (19FTM02)
Davide Marano, Ferrari (Italy)
Crowned spline teeth are frequently used to avoid interferences between shaft and hub teeth. Currently, a precise determination of the misalignment and crowned teeth influence on spline load capacity can only be performed by finite element method, (FEM), or other powerful numerical simulations. This paper proposes an analytical model.
Spline Centering, Piloting, and Toggle: Torsional Stiffness, Shaft Bending, and Centering of Moment Loads (19FTM03)
Steve McKenny, General Motors Company
Common practice for a splined joint is to assume that the load is theoretically transmitted along the entire length of the tooth face, but several factors, including axial spline length and the ratio of hub to shaft torsional stiffness, can impact how the load is distributed along the tooth face.
Optimal Polymer Gear Design: Metal-to-Plastic Conversion (19FTM04)
Dr. Alexander Kapelevich, AKGears, LLC
Unlike machined metal gears, polymer gears produced by injection molding allow for a deep optimization of gear tooth macro and microgeometry.
Design of a Double Spiral Bevel Gearset (19FTM05)
Horácio Albertini, CEFET MG, Federal Center of Technological Education of Minas Gerais (Brazil)
The most common bevel gear geometries are straight, spiral, and helical (skew), and all these types of gearset subject the bearings to three types of forces, namely: axial, radial, and tangential. This paper presents a double spiral bevel gear design.
Specific Dynamic Behavior of Planetary Gears (19FTM06)
Burkhard Pinnekamp, RENK AG (Germany)
This paper describes theory of noise generation in a gear mesh and the specific application on planetary gear systems. The results are illustrated by an example with test bench measurements.
Tuesday, October 15
Technical Session II:
Efficiency, Lubrication, Noise, and Vibration
Moderator: Walt Weber, Flender Corporation (Retired)
Phase Management as a Strategy to Reduce Gear Whine in Idler Gear Sets (19FTM07)
Robert White, John Deere
Gear whine is controlled by managing transmission error. Idler gear sets affect gear whine by phasing the meshes. This paper shows how, by cleverly selecting the number of teeth on the idlers, their tooth thicknesses, and the idler location, the forces from transmission error force vectors that must be reacted by the idler bearings can be substantially reduced, thereby reducing the excitation on the gearbox that causes noise.
Reduction of the Tonality of Gear Noise by Application of Topography Scattering for Ground Bevel Gears (19FTM09)
Marcel Kasten, Laboratory of Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of RWTH Aachen University (Germany)
Computing Gear Sliding Losses (19FTM10)
Caleb Gurd, Eaton Corporation
*2018 recipient of an AGMA Foundation scholarship.
This paper evaluates eight different algorithms available in the literature for determining coefficient of friction and calculating gear sliding loss, and their applicability to commercial vehicle transmissions.
Opportunities of Efficiency Improvement by the Use of Hydro Lubricants (19FTM11)
Matthias Pfadt, Kluber Lubrication Muchen SE & Co. KG (Germany)
The majority of industrial lubricants are based on mineral oils. Hydro Lubricants, which use water either as a base oil or as an additive, offer a more sustainable solution and are potential candidates for a wide range of industrial applications.
