Bevel Gears
1. Explain terminology of bevel gear.
2. What is formative number of teeth in bevel gear? Derive
the expression for formative number of teeth in bevel gears.
3. A pair of straight bevel gears mounted on shafts, which are
intersecting at right angle, consists of 24 teeth pinion
meshing with 32 teeth gear. The pinion shaft is connected
to 7.5 kW, 1000 r.p.m electric motor. The starting torque of
the motor is 1.25% of the rated torque. The load
distribution factor is 1.2. The gear is to be made of gray
cast iron FG 350, while the pinon is to be made of case
hardened steel 40C8 (𝑠𝑢𝑡 =580 N/𝑚𝑚2 ). The gears are to be
manufactured by generation. The tooth system is 20° full-
depth involute.
i. If the factor of safety required against bending failure is
3.0, design the gear pair by using the velocity factor.
ii. If the factor of safety required against pitting failure is
2.0, specify the surface hardness required on gears. Use
the following relations:
