Class Assignment- Gears

Q1.
Two 12-pitch, 20°, full-depth, involute spur gears are used on an industrial circular saw for
cutting timber. The pinion rotates at 150 rpm, has 18 teeth and the gear has 42. Determine
the following:
a. The center distance
b. The contact ratio
c. angle of action of pinion and gear
d. Ratio of Velocity of sliding at the start of engagement, at pitch point and at the end of
engagement.
e. Whether interference will occur
Q2.
A 4-tooth/in. diametral pitch, 24-tooth pinion is to drive a 36-tooth gear. The gears are cut
on the 200 full-depth involute system. Find and tabulate the addendum, dedendum,
clearance, circular pitch, base pitch, tooth thickness, pitch circle radii, base circle radii,
lengths of paths of approach and recess, and contact ratio.
Q3.
A gear having a module of 4 mm/tooth and 21 teeth drives another gear at a speed of 240
rev/min. How fast is the 21-tooth gear rotating if the shaft center distance is 156 mm?
Q4.
A pair of mating gears have 24 teeth/in. diametral pitch and are generated on the 20 0 full-
depth involute system. If the tooth numbers are 15 and 50, what maximum addendums
may they have if interference is not to occur?
