In a broaching machine (figure P2 shown), the shaft A carries a pulley 61 cm in diameter which is
driven by a belt from a 30.5 cm pulley on the countershaft overheard, the latter tuning 150 rpm. The
gears 2 and 4 have 12 teeth each, and 3 and 5 have 60 teeth. Gear 5 is fast to 6, which has 10 teeth and a
circular pitch of 26.59 mm and which engages with rack 7 to which is attached the broach. Find the
speed with which the broach is drawn through the work in mm/s.

Find the speed of shaft A:


N1=(D1/D2)*N2
N1=(61/30.5)150 rpm
N1=300 rpm
Determine the rotational speed of gear 4:
N4=(T2/T4)N1
N4=(12/12)300 rpm
N4=300 rpm
Calculate the linear speed of gear 6:
N6=N4*π*pitch diameter of gear 6
pitch diameter of gear 6= (T6/π)*circular pitch of gear 6
pitch diameter of gear 6=(10/ π)* 26.59mm
pitch diameter of gear 6= 84.6mm

N6= (300rpm×π×84.6mm)/60s
N6=132.72 mm/s
Speed of broach=N6
Speed of broach= 132.72 mm/s
