Design of Gears
1.

For the gear train illustrated in Fig. (1), determine the output speed and direction
of rotation if the input shaft rotates at 1490 rev/min clockwise. Gears 2 to 5 have
a module of 1.5 mm while gears 6 to 9 have a module of 2 mm.

Fig. (1)
2.

A spur gearset has a module of 6 mm and a velocity ratio of 4. The pinion has
16 teeth. Find the number of teeth on the driven gear, the pitch diameters, and
the theoretical center-to-center distance.

3.

A gearbox is required to transmit 7 kW from a shaft rotating at 2000 rev/min.


The desired output speed is approximately 350 rev/min. Select appropriate
gears. Be sure to avoid an interference problem in the teeth.

4.

A gearbox is required to transmit 5 kW from a shaft rotating at 2650 rev/min.


The desired output speed is approximately 200 rev/min. Specify appropriate
gears.

5.

A gearbox is to be designed with a compound reverted gear train that transmits


25 horsepower with an input speed of 2500 rev/min. The output should deliver
the power at a rotational speed in the range of 280 to 300 rev/min. Spur gears
with 20 pressure angle are to be used. Determine suitable numbers of teeth for
each gear.

6.

Shaft a in Fig. (2) has a power input of 75 kW at a speed of 1000 rev/min in the
counterclockwise direction. The gears have a module of 5 mm and a 20
pressure angle. Gear 3 is an idler.
(a) Find the force F3b that gear 3 exerts against shaft b.
(b) Find the torque T4c that gear 4 exerts on shaft c.

The gears shown in Fig. (3) have a module of 12 mm and a


pressure angle.
The pinion rotates at 1800 rev/min clockwise and transmits 150 kW through the
idler pair to gear 5 on shaft c. What forces do gears 3 and 4 transmit to the idler
shaft?

A
full depth spur pinion is to transmit 1.75 kW at 1200 rev/min. If the
pinion has 18 teeth with a module of 2 mm, determine a suitable value for the
face width based on the Lewis formula if the bending stress should not exceed
75 MPa.

9.

A steel spur pinion has a diametral pitch of 10 teeth/in, 18 teeth cut full-depth
with a
pressure angle, and a face width of 1 in. This pinion is expected to
transmit 2 hp at a speed of 600 rev/min. Determine the bending stress.

10. A
full-depth steel spur pinion with 18 teeth is to transmit 2.5 hp at a speed
of 600 rev/min. Determine appropriate values for the face width and diametral
pitch based on an allowable bending stress of 10 kpsi.
11. A
full-depth steel spur pinion is to transmit 1.5 kW hp at a speed of 900
rev/min. If the pinion has 18 teeth, determine suitable values for the module and
face width. The bending stress should not exceed 75 MPa.
12. A gear drive consists of a 16-tooth
steel spur pinion and a 48-tooth cast-iron
gear having a pitch of 12 teeth/in. For a power input of 1.5 hp at a pinion speed
of 700 rev/min, select a face width based on an allowable contact stress of 100
kpsi.
13. A 20 teeth full-depth,
pressure angle, module 4 mm cast iron spur pinion is
used to drive a 32 teeth cast iron gear. Determine the contact stress if 10.5 kW is
transmitted. The pinion speed is 950 rev/min and the face width is 50 mm.
