 Force Analysis – Spur Gearing
 Begin with numeral 1 for the frame of the machine,
then let us designate the input gear as gear 2, and then
number of gears successively 3, 4, etc., until the last
gear in the gear train.
 For several shaft involved, let us designate the shaft
using lowercase letter such as a, b, c, etc.
 F23 means force exerted by gear 2 against gear 3
 F2a means force on gear 2 against shaft a
 Fa2 means force on shaft a against gear 2
 Radial and tangential directions by superscripts r and
t respectively

 Forces have been
resolved into tangential
and radial components.

 As a transmitted load.
 However, for radial
serves no useful purpose.
 Because it does not
transmit power.

Force Analysis – Helical Gearing
 Basically, bevel and
helical gearing are
similar.

 Class Exercise
 Figure shows a pair of
shaft-mounted spur gears
having a module 0f 3
mm with an 18-tooth 20°
pinion driving a 45-tooth
gear. The power input is
24 kW maximum at
1800 rev/min. find the
direction and magnitude
of the maximum forces
acting on bearings A, B,
C, and D.
