Example:
A set of gears must be selected that transmit power
from a 5 hp motor at 1200 rpm to a grinding wheel
at 310 (10) rpm. Select a set of appropriate gears.

Example:
A set of gears must be selected that transmit power
from a 20 hp engine at 2000 rpm to an air
compressor at 660 ( 10) rpm. These gears must fit
into a housing with a center distance of 6.00 in.
Select a set of appropriate gears.

 Gear Train Design
 Select the appropriate ratios for each gear
pair.
 Factor the TV into suitable ratios.

Example:
Design a gear train with a train value of
+400:1. From interference criteria, no gear
should have fewer than 15 teeth and due to
size restrictions, no gear should have more
than 75 teeth.
