Gear Sample Board
Model Number: 836-PAC
Hands-on training aid for gear identification, selection, and maintenance using real industrial components.
Overview
Gears are mechanisms that mesh together via teeth, and are used to transmit rotary motion from one shaft to another. Gears are defined by two important items: radius and number of teeth, and are typically mounted, or connected to other parts, via a shaft or base.
A wide variety of different types of gears are used throughout industry. It’s important for industrial maintenance technicians to learn how to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair multiple types of gears.
DAC Worldwide’s Gear Sample Board (836-PAC) is an introductory hands-on teaching aid designed to supplement courses in gear selection and maintenance. It includes samples of ten (10) industrial-quality gears for users to learn to identify.
To help learners with gear identification, the steel, rack-mounted identification board features magnetic identification tags relating to the gear samples supplied, allowing association of a tag with the appropriate component by learners.

Hands-On Training
The Gear Sample Board uses real industrial-quality components to provide realistic, job-relevant practice. Learners work directly with ten gear samples mounted on a steel, rack-mounted identification board and match magnetic identification tags to the appropriate components, building practical familiarity with common gear types, designs, diametral pitches, and pitch diameters.
Curriculum
The Gear Sample Board includes courseware consisting of an instructor resource and set-up reference. These materials can be used as part of either an instructor-led course or self-directed study. Optional IPT Industrial Trades Training Manual and Handbook resources are also available to extend training.
