Gear Trains

Planetary Gear train You can get high torque ratio in a smaller space

There are two inputs to the planetary gears, RPM of sun and Ring, The out put is the speed of the arm.

Example of planetary Gear train

Gear 1, sun , RPM 1200, Number of teeth 20, Planet Gear , Number of teeth 30 Ring Gear, Rotates RPM 120, and teeth of 80, horse power, find the speed of the arm and torque on the ring.

Alternatively you may have Certain Out put Torque requirements

Transmitted Load
With a pair of gears or gear sets, Power is transmitted by the force developed between contacting Teeth

Bending Strength of the a Gear Tooth


Mc ( Ft L)t / 2 6 Ft = = 3 = 2 I bt / 12 bt

Earlier Stress Analysis of the Gear Tooth was based on


A full load is applied to the tip of a single tooth The radial load is negligible The load is uniform across the width Neglect frictional forces The stress concentration is negligible

This equation does not consider stress concentration, dynamic effects, etc.

Overload Factor - Ko

Dynamic Factor - Kv

-Even with steady loads tooth impact can cause shock loading -Impact strength depends on quality of the gear and the speed of gear teeth (pitch line velocity) -Gears are classified with respect to manufacturing tolerances: -Qv 3 7, commercial quality -Qv 8 12, precision -Graphs are available which chart Kv for different quality factors

Load Distribution Factor - Km

-Failure greatly depends on how load is distributed across face -Accurate mounting helps ensure even distribution -For larger face widths even distribution is difficult to attain -Note formula depends on face width which has to be estimated for initial iteration -Form goal: b < Dp; 6 < b*P < 16

Reliability Factor - KR

-Adjusts for reliability other than 99% - KR = 0.658 0.0759 ln (1-R) 0.5 < R <0.99 - KR = 0.50 0.109 ln (1-R) 0.99 < R < 0.9999

AGMA Geometry Factor - J

-Updated Lewis Form Factor includes effect of stress concentration at fillet -Different charts for different pressure angles -Available for Precision Gears where we can assume load sharing (upper curves) -HPSTC highest point of single tooth contact -Account for meshing gear and load sharing (contact ratio > 1) -Single tooth contact conservative assumption (bottom curve) -J = 0.311 ln N + 0.15 (20 degree) -J = 0.367 ln N + 0.2016 (25 degree)

St Analytical Estimate

-Through hardened steel gears -Different charts for different manufacturing methods -Grade 1 good quality St = 77.3 HB + 12,800 -Grade 2 premium quality St = 102 HB + 16,400

Bending Strength Life Factor- KL

-Adjusts for life goals other than 107 cycles -Fatigue effects vary with material properties and surface finishes -KL = 1.6831 N -0.0323 N>3E6 Note: @ 2000 rpm reach 3 million cycles in 1 day of service

Example: A conveyor drive involving heavy-shock torsional loading is operated by an electric motor, the speed ratio is 1:2 and the pinion has Diameteral pitch P=10 in-1, and number of teeth N=18 and face width of b=1.5 in. The gear has Brinnel hardness of 300 Bhn. Find the maximum horspower that can be transmitted, using AGMA formula.
