Fig. 10.24
The pinion 1 is the driver and is rotating clockwise. The wheel 2 is driven in
the counter-clockwise direction. EF is their common tangent to the base circles.
Contact of the two teeth is made where the addendum circle of the wheel
meets the line of action EF, i.e. at C and is broken where the addendum circle
of the pinion meets the line of action, i.e. at D. CD is then the path of contact.
Let r = pitch circle radius of pinion
R = pitch circle radius of wheel
ra = addendum circle radius of pinion
Ra = addendum circle radius of wheel.
Path of contact = path of approach + path of recess
CD = CP + PD
= (CF – PF) + (DE – PE)

Example 10.4 Two gears in mesh have a module of 8 mm and a pressure angle
of 20°. The larger gear has 57 while the pinion has 23 teeth. If the addenda on
pinion and gear wheels are equal to one module, find
(i) the number of pairs of teeth in contact
(ii) the angle of action of the pinion and the gear wheel
(iii) the ratio of the sliding to rolling velocity at
(a) the beginning of contact
(b) the pitch point
(c) the end of contact.
Solution

Ra = R + m = 228 + 8 = 236 mm

Example 10.5 Two 20° gears have a module pitch of 4 mm. The number of teeth
on gears 1 and 2 are 40 and 24 respectively. If the gear 2 rotates at 600 rpm,
determine the velocity of sliding when the contact is at the tip of the tooth of gear 2.
Take addendum equal to one module.
Also, find the maximum velocity of sliding.
Solution
Let 1 be the gear wheel and 2 the pinion.
j = 20°, T = 40, Np = 600 mm, t = 24, m = 4 mm
Addendum = 1 module = 4 mm

(i) Let pinion (gear 2) be the driver.
The tip of the driving wheel is in contact with a tooth of the driven wheel at the
end of engagement. Thus, it is required to find the path of recess which is
obtained from the dimensions of the driving wheel.
