PART-A

1. A longer belt will last more than a shorter belt, why?

2. Brief the term “Crowning of Pulley”?
3. How is V belt specified?
4. Give the speed ratio range of worm-wheel drive.
5. Usually worm is made of hard material and worm gear is made of softer material-justify.
6. What are preferred numbers?
7. Define geometric progression.
8. What is meant by positive clutch?
9. Why it is necessary to dissipate the heat generated during clutch operation
10. What are the factors upon which the torque capacity of a clutch depends?

PART-A

11. A hardened steel worm rotates at 1440 rpm and transmits 12 k W to a phosphor bronze
gear. The speed of the worm wheel should be 60 rpm. Design a worm gear drive if an
efficiency of at least 82% is desired.
12. Design a V-belt drive to the following specifications: power to be transmitted: 75Kw;
speed of driving Wheel: 1440 rpm; speed of driven wheel: 400 rpm; diameter of driving
wheel: 300 mm: centre distance: 2500mm: service: 16 hours/day.
13. It is required to select a flat belt drive for a fan running at 360rpm.which is driven by a
10kw, 1440rpm motor. The belt drive is open type and space available for a center
distance of 2m approximately. The diameter of a driven pulley is 1000mm.
14. A nine speed gear box, used as a head stock gear box of a turret lathe, is to provide a
speed range of 180 rpm to 1800 rpm. Using step ratio, draw the speed diagram and the
kinematic layout. Also find and fix the number of teeth on all gears.
15. A single plate clutch transmits 25 kW at 900 rpm. The max. Pressure intensity between
the plates is 85 kN/m2. The ratio of radii is 1.25. Both the sides of the plate are effective
and the coefficient of friction is .25. Determine (i) the dia of the plate (ii) the axial force
to engage the clutch. Assuming the uniform wear theory.

PART-C

16. Design a 12 speed gear box for a lathe. The minimum and maximum speeds are 100 and
1200 rpm. Power is 5 k W from 1440 rpm induction motor.
