hyperboloids rather than cones.
In general, hypoid gears are most desirable for those application involving large speed reduction
ratios. They operate more smoothly and quietly than spiral bevel gears.

6. What are the various forces acting on a bevel gear? (N-09, M-04)
The various forces acting on bevel gears are

cranes and lifts.

11. State the advantages of herringbone gear. (M -15, N-08)

An imaginary spur gear considered in a plane perpendicular to the tooth of the bevel gear at the larger
end is known as virtual spur gear.
The number of teeth zv on this imaginary spur gear is called virtual number of teeth in bevel gear.
zv = z/cosδ
where z = actual number of teeth on the bevel gear and δ = pitch angle.
14. Define the following terms: a. Cone distance, b. Face angle. (M-14)

Face angle is the angle subtended by the face of the tooth at the cone centre.

15. What is the difference between an angular gear and a miter gear? (N-13)
When the bevel gears connect two shafts whose axes intersect at an angle other than a right angle,
then they are known as angular bevel gears.
When equal bevel gears (having equal teeth and equal pitch angles) connect two shafts whose axes
intersect at right angle, then they are known as mitre gears.

jerks in a cam profile.

2. Why is it necessary to dissipate the heat generated during clutch operation? (M-13, N-11)
When clutch engages, most of the work done will be liberated as heat at the interface. Consequently the

temperature of the rubbing surface will increase. This increased temperature may destroy the clutch. So

heat dissipation is necessary in clutches.

3. What is self-locking in a brake? (N-11,M-13)

When a frictional force is sufficient enough to apply the brake with no external force, then the brake is
said to be self-locking brake.

4. What are the factors upon which the torque capacity of a clutch depends? (M-11, N-10)
Torque capacity of a clutch depends on
i. Number of pair of contact surfaces,
ii. Coefficient of friction,
iii. Axial thrust exerted by the spring, and
iv. Mean radius of friction surface.

5. When do we use multiple disk clutches? (M -10)

A multiple clutch is used when large amount of torque is to be transmitted. In a multi plate clutch, the
number frictional linings and the metal plates are increased which increases the capacity of the clutch
to transmit torque.
6. What is the disadvantage of block brake with one short shoe? What is the remedy? (M-11)
If only one block is used for braking, then there will be side thrust on the bearing of wheels shaft. This
drawback can be removed by providing two blocks on the two sides of the drum. This also doubles the
braking torque.

8. Name four profiles normally used in cams. (M-10)

i. Uniform velocity,
ii. Simple harmonic motion,
iii. Uniform acceleration and retardation and
iv. Cycloidal motion.

9. How the „uniform rate of wear‟ assumption is valid for clutches? (M-08)
In clutches, the value of normal pressure, axial load for the given clutch is limited by the rate of wear
that can be tolerated in the brake linings. Moreover, the assumption of uniform wear rate gives a lower
calculated clutch capacity than the assumption of uniform pressure. Hence clutches are usually designed
on the basis of uniform wear.

10. What are the significances of pressure angle in cam design? (N-07)
The pressure angle is very important in cam design as it represents steepness of the cam profile. If
the pressure angle is too large, a reciprocating follower will jam in its bearing.

11 .If a multidisc clutch has 6 discs in driving shaft and 7 discs in driven shaft then how many number of
contact surfaces it will have? (M -15)
n1 = 6, n2 = 7
Number of pair of contact surface, n = n1+n2-1
= 6+7-1 = 12
12. Why in automobiles, braking action when traveling in reverse is not as effective as when moving
forward? (M -15)
When an automobile moves forward, the braking force acts in the opposite direction to the direction of
motion of the vehicle. Whereas in reverse travelling the braking force acts in the same direction to the
direction of motion of the vehicle. So it requires more braking force to apply brake.

13. Differentiate between uniform pressure and uniform wear theories adopted in the design of
clutches. (N-14)
In clutches, the value of normal pressure, axial load for the given clutch is limited by the rate of wear
that can be tolerated in the brake linings. Moreover, the assumption of uniform wear rate gives a lower
calculated clutch capacity than assumption of uniform pressure. Hence clutches are usually designed
on the basis of uniform wear.

14. Classify clutches based on the coupling methods. (M-14)

i. Positive contact clutches
ii. Frictional clutches
iii. Overrunning clutches
iv. Magnetic clutches
v. Fluid couplings

15. What is meant by a self-energizing brake? (M-13)

When the moment of applied force (F.l) and the moment of the frictional force (μ.R N.C) are in the
same direction, then frictional force helps in applying the brake. This type of brake is known as a self-
energizing brake.

16. Define pitch point in cam. (N-13)

The pitch point is the point on the pitch curve of the cam having maximum pressure angle.

17. Differentiate between clutch and a brake. (N-13)

a stationary member.
