1. A double thread worm gear has a pitch of 1 1/8 and a pitch diameter of 3 in. It has a coefficient of friction of 0.21
and pressure angle of 14.5o. The worm is supplied by 12 hp at 1200 rpm motor. Find the tangential force on the gear.
The worm is left hand threads.
2. A single worm gear has a pitch diameter of 2 in and a pitch of 1 in with coefficient of friction of 0.21. The pressure
angle is 14.5 degrees with tangential force on gear of 1000 lbs. Find the separation force on gear and worm
considering a left hand threads.
3. A triple threaded right handed worm gear transmits 15 HP at 1150 rpm. The pitch of the worm is 0.75 inches and
pitch diameter of 3 inches. The pressure angle is 14 and ½ degrees and the coefficient of friction is 0.21. Find the
separating force in pounds.
4. A turbine at 35,000 rpm is used to drive a reduction gear delivering 3 hp at 3,000 rpm. The gears are 20 degrees
involute herringbone gears of 32 pitch and 2 1/8 in effective width. The pinion has 20 teeth with a helix angle of 23
deg. Determine the load normal to the tooth surface.
5. A helical gear having 20 teeth and pitch diameter of 6 in. Find the normal diametral pitch if helix angle is 22
degrees.
6. A 20o full depth straight tooth gear has a face width of 3 ¾ in and a pitch diameter of 15 in with cone pitch angle of
35o. Find the mean diameter.
7. A pair of 4-pitch, 14.5o, involute bevel gear have 2:1 reduction. The pitch diameter of the driver is 1 0 in and face
width of 2 in. Determine the face angle of pinion. (Shafts at right angle).
8. A pair of bevel gear having a speed ratio of 3 has a 5-pitch at 14.5 deg involute. The pitch angle of the pinion is 8
in. Find the addendum angle of the pinion. (At right angle between shafts)
9. A four wheel vehicle must develop a draw-bar pull of 17,500 lbs. The engine which develops 500 hp and drives
500 hp and drives through a gear transmission a 34 tooth spiral bevel pinion gear which meshes with a spiral bevel
gear having 51 teeth. This gear is keyed to the drive shaft of the 48 in diameter rear wheels of the vehicle. What
transmission gear ratio should be used if the engine develops maximum torque at 1500 rpm? Note: the efficiency of
the bevel gear differential is 80%.
10. An electric motor running at 1200 rpm drives a punch press shaft at 200 rpm by means of a 130 mm wide and 8
mm thick belt. When the clutch is engaged the belt slips. To correct this condition, an idler pulley was installed to
increase the angle of contact but the same belt and pulley were used. The original contact angle on the 200 mm
motor pulley is 160 degrees. The original contact ratio is 2.4 and the net tension is 12 N/mm of the belt width. If an
increase in transmission capacity of 20% will prevent slippage, determine the new angle of contact.
11. An ammonia compressor is driven by a 20 KW motor. The compressor and the motor RPM are 360 and 1750,
respectively. The small sheave has a pitch diameter of 152.4 mm. If the belt to be used is standard D-120, determine
the center distance between sheaves.
12. An air compressor is driven by a 7.5 HP electric motor with a speed of 1750 rpm with standard E-180 V-belts. The
pitch diameter of the small sheave is 110 mm and the larger sheave is 200 mm. Service factor is 1.2. Determine the
arc of contact.
13. A pulley 610 mm in diameter transmits 40 KW at 500 RPM. The arc of contact between the belt pulley is 0.35
and the safe working stress of the belt is 2.1 Mpa. Find the tangential force at the rim of the pulley in Newton.
14.. A pulley 610 mm in diameter transmits 40 KW at 500 rpm. The arc of contact between the belt and pulley is 144
degrees, the coefficient of friction between belt and pulley is 0.35 and the safe working stress of the belt is 2.5 Mpa.
What is the maximum force in Newton.
15. A 3/8 inch flat belt is 12 inches wide and is used on 24 inches diameter pulley rotating at 600 rpm. The specific
weight of belt is 0.035 lb/in3. The angle of contact of the larger pulley is 210 degrees. If coefficient of friction is 0.3
and stress is 350 psi, how much power can it deliver?
