Answer all Questions

PART – A (5X 2 = 10 Marks)
1. When bevel gears are used?
2. What are the commonly used tooth profiles?
3. Where do we use skew helical gears?
4. What is the working depth of gear tooth?
5. Define progression ratio.

PART – B ((16 x 1) + (8 x 3)) =40

6. Select speeds for a 12 speed gear box for a minimum speed of 160 rpm and
maximum speed of 1400 rpm. Draw a kinematic arrangement of the gear box
showing the number of teeth. The drive is from 5kw motor at 1440 rpm.

7. Design a worm gear drive for the following data:

Power to be transmitted: 20 KW, worm speed: 1440 rpm, speed reduction: 24:1

8. Design a bevel gear drive to transmit 7 kW at 1600 rpm for the following data
Gear ratio = 3
Material for pinion and gear = C45 Steel
Life = 10,000 hours

9. Sketch the arrangement of six speed gear box. The minimum and maximum
speeds required are around 460 and 1400 rpm. Drive speed is 1440 rpm at 9kW.
Construct speed diagram of gear box and obtain various reduction ratios. Use
standard output speeds and standard step ratio. Calculate number of teeth in gear
and verify whether the actual output speeds are within ± 2% of standard speeds.
