1. A steel spur pinion has a diametral pitch of 6 teeth/in, 22 full-depth teeth, and a
20◦ pressure angle. The pinion runs at a speed of 1200 rev/min and transmits
15 hp to a 60-tooth gear. If the face width is 2 in, estimate the bending stress.

2. A steel spur pinion has a module of 1.25 mm, 18 teeth cut on the 20◦ full-depth
system, and a face width of 12 mm. At a speed of 1800 rev/min, this pinion is
expected to carry a steady load of 0.5 kW. Determine the resulting bending
stress.

5. A 20◦ full-depth steel spur pinion is to transmit 1.5 kW hp at a speed of 900

rev/min. If the pinion has 18 teeth, determine suitable values for the module
and face width. The bending stress should not exceed 75 MPa.

Other design considerations may dictate the size selection.

For the present design, m = 2 mm with F = 25 mm, is a good selection.

8. A gear set has a diametral pitch of 5 teeth/in, a 20◦ pressure angle, and a 24-
tooth cast-iron spur pinion driving a 48-tooth cast-iron gear. The pinion is to
rotate at 50 rev/min. What horsepower input can be used with this gear set if the
contact stress is limited to 100 ksi and F = 2.5 in?
