507 B.E/B.Tech, DEGREE EXAMINATION, NOVEMBER/DEC! EMBER 2005. Sixth Semester Mechanical Engineering ME 342 — DESIGN OF TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. ‘Time : Three hours Maximum : 100 marks 10. lL. Answer ALL questions. Use of approved Design Data Book is permitted. PART A — (10 x 2 = 20 marks) What is the effect of centre distance and diameter of pulley on the life of a belt? What are the various losses in the power transmission by belts? What is interference in involute profile? Why is multistart worm more efficient than the single start one? How number of teeth affects the design of gears. What are the advantages of the helical gear over spur gear? What is Herringbone gear? State its application. State true or false and justify. “Mitre gears are used for connecting non-intersecting shafts”. What is meant by a self-energising brake? What are the desirable properties of friction material to be used for clutches? PART B — (5 x 16 = 80 marks) A motor shaft rotating at 1440 rpm has to transmit 15 kW power to a low speed shaft rotating at 500 rpm. A 20° pressure angle involute tooth gear pinion is used. The pinion has 25 teeth. Design a suitable gear drive.12, 13. 14. (a) (b) (a) (b) (a) (b) @ A V-belt drive is to transmit 15 kW to a compressor. The motor runs at 1150 rpm and the compressor is to run at 400 rpm. Determine (i) _ belt specifications (ii) number of belts (iii) correct centre distance and (iv) drive pulley diameter. Or Design a chain drive to actuate a compressor from a 12 kW electric motor at 900 rpm, the compressor being 250 rpm. Minimum centre distance should be 500 mm. The chain tension may be adjusted by shifting the motor on rails. The compressor is to work 8 hours/day. Design the teeth of a pair of bevel gears to transmit 18.75 kW at 600 rpm of the pinion. The velocity ratio should be about 3 and the pinion should have about 20 teeth which are full depth 20° involute. Find the module, face width, diameter of the gears and pitch core angle for both gears. Or A speed reducer wait is to be designed for an input of 11.25 kW with a transmission ratio of 20. The speed of the hardened steel worm is 1500 rpm. The worm wheel is to be made of bronze. The tooth form is to be 20° involute. In a milling machine, 18 different speeds in the range of 35 rpm and 650 rpm are required. Design a three stage gear box with a standard step ratio. Sketch the layout of the gear box, indicating the number of teeth on each gear. The gear box receives 3.6 kW from an electric motor running at 1,440 rpm. Sketch also the speed diagram. } | i Or Design a pair of helical gears to transmit 30 kW power at a speed reduction ratio of 4 : 1. The input shaft rotates at 2000 rpm. Take helix. and pressure angles equal to 25° and 20° respectively. The number of teeth on the pinion may be taken as 30. 2 B 507(a) (b) A hydrallically operated clutch is to be designed for an automatically operated lathe. Determine the number of plates and the operating force required for a clutch which is to transmit a torsional moment of 35 Nm under normal operating conditions. The clutch is to be designed to slip under 300 percent of rated torsional moment to protect the gears and other parts of the drive. The limits for the diameters of the friction surface due to space limitations are 100 mm and 62.5 mm. This clutch is to operate in an oily atmosphere. Or A band brake is to be designed for a winch to lift a load to 20 kN through a 15 m height by a rope wire wound on a barrel of 450 mm diameter. The hoisting cycle is 3 minutes, out of which the actual braking time is 60 seconds. The angle of contact between the band and the brake drum is 20°. The brake drum may by keyed to the same shaft. Give the complete design. 3 B507
