Part : A Answer all questions

1. Make a comparison of cycloidal and involute teeth forms
2. Explain Bevel gear, worm gears and helical gears
3. With the help of neat sketches explain the types of cams and followers.
4. Define pitch curve, pressure angle and base circle with reference to cams.
Part: B
1. A pair of 200 pressure angle gears in mesh have the following data: Speed of pinion = 400
rpm Number of teeth on pinion = 24, Number of teeth on gear = 28. Determine the
addendum of the gears if the path of approach and recess is half the maximum value.
OR
2. In an Epi-cyclic gear of sun and planet type shown in Fig.1, the pitch circle diameter of
the annular wheel A is to be nearly 216mm and module 4mm. When the annular ring is
stationary, the spider that carries three planet wheels P of equal size to make one
revolution for every five revolutions of the driving spindle carrying the sun wheel.
Determine the number of teeth for all the wheels and the exact pitch circle diameter of the
annular wheel. If an input torque of 20 N-m is applied to the spindle carrying the sun
wheel, determine the fixed torque on the annular wheel.

3. Draw the cam profile for following conditions: Follower type = roller follower, in-line;
lift = 25mm; base circle radius = 20mm; roller radius = 5mm; out stroke with SHM, for
1200 cam rotation; dwell for 600 cam rotation; return stroke with parabolic motion for 900
cam rotation; dwell for the remaining period. Determine max. velocity and acceleration
during out stroke and return stroke if the cam rotates at 1200 rpm in clockwise direction.
OR
4. A symmetrical circular arc cam operating a flat faced follower has the following
particulars. Least radius of cam = 30 mm; lift = 20 mm; Angle of lift = 75 0; Nose radius =
5 mm; speed = 600 rpm Find, (i) The principal dimensions of cam (ii) The acceleration
of the follower at the beginning of lift, at the end of contact with the circular flank, at the
beginning of contact with nose and at the apex of nose.
