TRANSMISSIONS

• GEAR: Gears are rollers which has teeth's cut


on its circumference and when the teeth of one
roller is meshed precisely with the teeth of other,
we will get a positive transmission of motion.
• Gears are used in pairs or in combinations to
• 1) transmit motion,
• 2) change direction of motion,
• 3) Increase or decrease speed
• 4) Transmit power from one part of a machine to
another part.
Gears
• Gear types:
• 1)Spur Gear
• 2)Bevel Gear
• 3)Helical gear
• 4)Herringbone Gear
• 5) worm and Gears
Gear
• Spur Gear: A spur gear is a wheel or
cylinder with teeth cut parallel with the axis
of rotation.
• Spur gear are the simplest and most widely
used type of gear for transmitting motion
between shafts that are parallel to the axis.
• Bevel Gear: is one in which the teeth are cut
on a conical surface and radiate from the
apex of a cone.
• Bevel gears are used to transmit motion from
one shaft to an other shaft at an angle.
• Helical Gear: is one with the teeth cut on a
cylinder at an angle with the axis of rotation of
the gear body.
• Helical gears are used to transmit motion from
one shaft to another shaft which are parallel
with it like spur gears and also to transmit
motion to another shaft which is not parallel
with it.
• The advantage of helical gear is they operate
quietly and smoothly and also when meshed
together, several teeth's of each gear are in
contact at one time and the load is spread,
which results in greater strength.
HELICAL GEAR
• Herringbone gear: It consist of two helical
gears of equal size but of opposite hand joined
together.
• It equalizes thrust, which is exerted by helical
gear teeth to the other gear tooth, which was
compensated by thrust bearings.
• Herringbone gears have greater tooth strength
and have a heavy load carrying capacity.
• They are more satisfactory than the other gears
where a large ratio between gears is necessary.
• They are good under continuous high speed
operation better than other gears.
Herringbone gear
• Worm and Worm Gears
• Worm Gear: is a wheel having teeth cut
angular with the axis of rotation and radially in
the gear face.
• Worm: is cylinder with teeth resembling those
of a an acme thread. The worm is mounted on
a shaft, which is perpendicular to the shaft of
the worm gear.
• Worm and Worm gear are used for heavy duty
work where a large ratio of speed is required.
They are extensively used in speed reducers.
Worm and Worm Gear
• Pitch circle: It is an imaginary circle passing
through the points at which the teeth of the
meshing gears contact each other.
• Addendum: It is the portion of the tooth that
projects above or outside of the pitch circle.
• Dedendum: It is the portion of the tooth that is
below the pitch circle and is equal to addendum
plus the clearance.
• Gear and pinion: When two gears are in
mesh they are called a pair of gears. The
larger of the two is referred to as the Gear,
while the smaller one is called the pinion.
• Either could be a driver or the driven
member.
• Gear ratio: It is the number of teeths each
gear has when two gears are in mesh. It is
usually written as a fraction or ratio
reduced to its lowest terms.
• Calculating gear ratio:
• 60/30 = 2/1 or 2:1
• Speed ratio: It is the relationship of RPM of
two meshing gears. It is also expressed as a
fraction or ratio reduced to its lowest terms.
• Speed ratio is the inverse of gear ratio. The
smaller of the two gear will always rotate at
higher RPM than the larger one.
• Gear trains: There are two types of gear
train
• Simple gear train
• Compound gear train.
• Simple gear train: It consist of two or more
gears mounted on separate shafts.
• Idler Gear: This are the gears which fill
space and possible change the direction of
rotation of the driven gear in gear trains.
• Compound Gear train: It is a series of gears
with two of the intermediate gears mounted
on the same shaft and rotating at the same
speed. A compound gear train requires at
least four gears.
• Gear sector: is a wheel that has teeth on a part
of its periphery only. It is used to transmit power
in intermittent manner.
• Gear rack: is a flat surface on which teeth
have been cut. Rectangular stock is
commonly used, but square and round stock
may be used.
• It is used to change rotary motion to
reciprocating motion.
• Internal Gear: is one in which teeth are
cut on the inner surface of a ring.
• Miter Gear: is a name given to mating
bevel gears having same number of teeth
and pitch cone angle of 45 degree.
