Gears and Gear Train

Assignment

1. In an epicyclic gear train, as shown in Fig.1, the number of teeth on wheels A, B and C are 48, 24 and 50
respectively. If the arm rotates at 400 r.p.m., clockwise, find: 1. Speed of wheel C when A is fixed, and 2. Speed
of wheel A when C is fixed. [Ans. 16 r.p.m. (clockwise) ; 16.67 (anticlockwise)]

Fig 1

2. Two mating involute spur gear of 20° pressure angle have a gear ratio of 2. The number of teeth on the pinion
is 20 and its speed is 250 r.p.m. The module pitch of the teeth is 12 mm. If the addendum on each wheel is
such that the path of approach and the path of recess on each side are half the maximum possible length, find:
1. the addendum for pinion and gear wheel; 2. the length of the arc of contact; and 3. the maximum velocity
of sliding during approach and recess. Assume pinion to be the driver. [Ans. 19.5 mm, 7.8 mm ; 65.5 mm ;
807.5 mm/s, 1615 mm/s]

3. Two gear wheels mesh externally and are to give a velocity ratio of 3. The teeth are of involute form of module
6. The standard addendum is 1 module. If the pressure angle is 18° and pinion rotates at 90 r.p.m., find: 1. the
number of teeth on each wheel, so that the interference is just avoided, 2. the length of the path of contact,
and 3. the maximum velocity of sliding between the teeth. [Ans. 19, 57; 31.5 mm; 213.7 mm/s]

4. A pinion with 24 involute teeth of 150 mm of pitch circle diameter drives a rack. The addendum of the pinion
and rack is 6 mm. Find the least pressure angle which can be used if under cutting of the teeth is to be avoided.
Using this pressure angle, find the length of the arc of contact and the minimum number of teeth in contact
at one time. [Ans. 16.8°; 40 mm; 2 pairs of teeth]

5. Two spur gears of 24 teeth and 36 teeth of 8 mm module and 20° pressure angle are in mesh. Addendum of
each gear is 7.5 mm. The teeth are of involute form. Determine: 1. the angle through which the pinion turns
while any pair of teeth are in contact, and 2. the velocity of sliding between the teeth when the contact on the
pinion is at a radius of 102 mm. The speed of the pinion is 450 r.p.m. [Ans. 20.36°, 1.16 m/s]
