and
s bG YG = 226.666 0.4242 = 96.1519 N mm 2

e P = 11+ 0.9 [6 + 0.25 120] = 18.8647 mm
For gear,
e G = 11+ 0.9 [m + 0.25 d G ]
e G = 11+ 0.9 [6 + 0.25 288] = 20.2183 mm

Calculate the available factor of safety

Feff = Ft max + Fd = 6266.715 + 19.1479 10 3

d = Journal diameter = 60 mm
n s = Journal speed = 1000/60 r.p.s.
l = Bearing length = 60 mm

To find :
(i)
Radial load on bearing, (W)
(ii) Total flow rate of lubricating oil, (Q)

The minimum oil-film thickness in this case is given by,
h o = 5 (1.6 + 0.8) = 12 microns
or
h o = 0.012 mm
Step - 2 : Radial clearance, (c)
Refer BIS standards, for the class of fit H8d8, the limits for the hole and shaft
are :
Hole limits : (60 + 0.000) and (60 + 0.039) mm
Shaft limits : (60 0.119) and (60 0.080) mm
When the process of manufacturing is centered,

Given data : P = 18 kW = 18 10 3 W, n P = 720 rpm, n G = 300 rpm,

(S ut ) P = 780 N mm 2 , (S ut ) G = 680 N mm 2 , K a = 1.5,

Design a gear pair.

Step - 1 : Calculate the number of teeth on pinion and gear

Design of Machine Elements - II

Lewis form factor is,

s bP YP = 260 0.3405 = 88.53 N mm 2

s bG YG = 226.666 0.4242 = 96.1519 N mm 2

Step - 4 : Calculate the wear strength of gear pair

Considering smaller value of BHN.

Design of Machine Elements - II

K a = 1.5 and K m = 1.4

50.1338 103 + 6.2993 103 m

Calculate the value of module and other dimensions

For safety against pitting failure,

491.8989 m 3 = 50.1338 103 + 6.2993 103 m

Solving the above cubic equation, we get

= 1.25 m = 1.25 6 = 7.5 mm

Step - 7 : Calculate the dynamic load by using Buckingham's equation

... (Given) ... (vi)

Ft max = K a K m Ft = 1.5 1.4 3978.8666 = 8355.6198 N

e P = 11+ 0.9 [6 + 0.25 120] = 18.8647 mm

e G = 11+ 0.9 [m + 0.25 d G ]

e G = 11+ 0.9 [6 + 0.25 288] = 20.2183 mm

e = 39.083 mm = 39.083 10- 3 mm

207 103 207 103

207 103 + 207 103

Step - 8 : Calculate the available factor of safety

As gear pair is weaker in pitting,

FOS = 1.1180 < 1.35

Design of Machine Elements - II

Calculate the dynamic load by using Buckingham's equation

Buckingham's equation for dynamic load is,

... (Given) ... (vii)

V = 0.7539 m = 0.7539 8 = 6.0312 m sec

Ft max = K a K m Ft = 1.5 1.4 2984.15 = 6266.715 N

e P = 11+ 0.9 [8 + 0.25 160] = 21.046 mm

e G = 11+ 0.9 [m + 0.25 d G ]

e G = 11+ 0.9 [8 + 0.25 384 ] = 22.609 mm

e = 43.655 mm = 43.655 10-3 mm

Design of Machine Elements - II

207 103 207 103

207 103 + 207 103

Substituting all these values in equation (vii),

21 6.0312 (96 501.5304 + 6266.715)

Calculate the available factor of safety

Effective load for precise estimation is,

As gear pair is weaker in pitting,

FOS = 1.6722 > 1.35

Solution : Given data : f = 20 , Z P = 24, Z G = 50, m = 4 mm

Design of Machine Elements - II

Fb = 200 50 4 0.3644 = 14576.6666 N

Step - 2 : Calculate the wear strength of gear pair

Substituting all these values in equation (ii),

Step - 3 : Calculate the rated power transmitted by gear pair

14576.6666 = 1.5 Feff

V = 7.2382 103 mm sec = 7.2382 m sec
