Problem # 1 (35 pts)
A reverted compound gear train consists of two identical stages is to be

designed. The gearbox must be capable of transmitting 100kW at 225 rpm input
speed. The gear train increase the speed to achieve an output speed of 3600
rpm. You are requested to design the gear train for minimum size. The following
assumptions and limitations must apply during the design process.
1. The gear train is made of Spur gears.

2. Both pinion and gear are made from the same material and hardness.
3. To avoid interference, minimum pinion number of teeth is 36 teeth.
4. Material available is Carburirzed and hardened Grade 3
5. Minimum factor of safety against bending and pitting are 2 and √2,
respectively
6. Assuming the following:
 Over load factor 1.25
 Load distribution factor 1.3 (initial assumption)
 Quality no. 8
 Dynamic factor 1.1 (initial assumption)
 Reliability is 0.999, and life is 109 cycles
 Face width is assumed to be 12 times the module
a. Illustrate the gear train, show the input and output shafts, gears, and
indicate all parameters i.e speed and power. (3 pts)

b. Determine the no. of teeth on the gear to achieve the required gear
ratio.(2
pts)

c. Following AGMA standards and codes, determine the minimum pinion

diameter sufficient for transmitting the power considering above
assumptions. Use preferred sizes and dimensions (20 pts)

d. Calculate the factor of safety against pitting and bending , then identify
the source of threat (note: initial assumed values for load distribution and
dynamic factor cannot be used) (10 pts)



Problem # 2(35 pts)
A meat grinder gearbox is to be designed considering the following constrains:

a. The overall gearbox dimensions should not exceed 176 mm by 80 mm by 80 mm (see figure
1).
b. The central distances of the second and third stages are 47 mm and 52.5 mm, respectively (see
figure 2).
c. The meat grinder is driven by a 1800 watt motor at 1800 rpm (cw). The grinder must rotate at
16 rpm within 5% error.
d. Full depth tooth system is adopted.
e. Other geometrical and kinematics parameters are available in table 1
Figure 1 gearbox enclosure dimensions in mm (drawing not to scale)

52.5
Figure 2 gear train (front view) dimensions in mm (drawing not to scale)
To complete the design, solve the following questions; show full work for full credit.

1. Why the meat grinder requires three-stage gear reducer? [2 points]
2. Determine the missing information in the table below; reflect the calculated dimensions on
figure 2. [10 marks]

3. Plot the side view of the gear train and show all diminsions; gears diameters and central

[2 marks]

4. Based on evaluated dimensions in the table above, can the gear train fit in the enclosure, if no,
suggest what can be changed?
[2 marks]
Gear 7 is larger than the allowable limit (D out > 80 mm) ) a solution can be made by changing the
tooth system from full depth to stub tooth [D out = 77+ 2(0.8)(1.75)=79.8 mm]

5. Does the gearbox provide required speed reduction? And why? Build the gear box on
https://geargenerator.com/ and show if the output speed was achieved [1 marks]
6. Can interference take place? If yes in which stage\stages. [2 marks]

7. Why gear module in 3rd stage is larger than 1st and 2nd [1 marks]
In speed reducers, gears at the last stage will be exposed to maximum torque, therefore
maximum forces i.e stress. In order for the gear teeth to handle the high forces, the size of the
teeth must be large (larger module) as compared to first or second where the torque is smaller
8. Draw free body diagram of gear 6 and determine all forces. [5 marks]

9. Select an economical material for the gears following AGMA standards and codes. Assuming
commercial quality and a minimum factor of safety against bending and wear 2, and 2^0.5
respectively. Face width 10 (m). Design the most critical stage only. [10 marks]

Problem # 3(20 pts)
A 26-tooth pinion rotating at a uniform 1800 rpm meshes with a 55-tooth gear in a helical gear
reducer. Both pinion and gear are manufactured to a quality level of 10. The transmitted tangential
load is 22 kN. Conditions are such that Km = 1.7. The teeth are standard 20-degree normal pressure
angle, and 30 helix, full-depth. The normal module is 5 and the face width 62 mm.
1. Determine the bending stress.

2. Determine the contact stresses.
3. Select a suitable material to insure bending factor of safety = 2
4. Calculating wear factor of safety.
