TUTORIAL ;01 (SPUR GEAR)

1.

A pinion with 25 teeth and rotating at 1200 rpm drives a gear which rotates at 200 rpm. The
module is 4 mm. Calculate the centre distance between the gears.

Solution:
m=4mm

Centre distance between the gears

EXAMPLE; 2
A two stage spur gear reducer is to be designed The input shaft transmits
9KW at 900 rpm and the speed of the output shaft can be 150+_1 rpm . The

gear are made of plain carbon steel with.

Gears are to

1.5 and factor of safety as 2. Assuming velocity factor to account for
dynamic load. Determine module of gear number of teeth and pitch circle
diameter check the safety of the design as per spots equation for dynamic
load if the gears are manufactured to the accuracy of grade 8 for Which

The pitch circle diameter of pinion and gear are100 and 300mm respect .the
pinion is made of plain carbon steel 40C8 having uts. 600MPa while the gear
is made of gray CI EG300.the pinion receive KW power at 500rpm through it
