Problem No. 1 (14 – 2)

A steel spur pinion has a diametral pitch of 12 teeth/in, 16 teeth cut full-depth with a 20◦
pressure angle, and a face width of 3/4 in. This pinion is expected to transmit 1.5 hp at a
speed of 700 rev/min. Determine the bending stress.

Problem No. 2 (14 – 3)
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.
