Q.1 A pair of spur gears with 20° full-depth involute teeth consists of a 18 teeth pinion meshing with a
40 teeth gear. The pinion is mounted on a crankshaft of 8.5 kW single cylinder diesel engine running at
1800 rpm. The driven shaft is connected to a two-stage compressor. Assume the service factor as 1. 5.
The pinion as well as the gear is made of steel 40C8 (Sut = 600 N/mm2). The module and face width of
the gears are 4 and 40 mm respectively.

(i) Using the velocity factor to account for the dynamic load, determine the factor of safety.

(ii) If the factor of safety is two for pitting failure, recommend surface hardness for spur gears

(iii) If the gears are machined to meet the specifications of Grade8, determine the factor of safety for
bending using Buckingham’s equation for dynamic load.

(iv) Is the gear design satisfactory? If not, what is the method to satisfy the design conditions? How will
you modify the design?

Q.2 It is required to design a pair of spur gears with 20° full-depth involute teeth based on the Lewis
equation. The velocity factor is to be used to account for dynamic load. The pinion shaft is connected to
a 12 kW, 1540 rpm motor. The starting torque of the motor is 150% of the rated torque. The speed
reduction is 4 : 1. The pinion as well as the gear is made of plain carbon steel 40C8 (Su1 = 600 N/mm2).
The factor of safety can be taken as 1.5. Design the gears, specify their dimensions and suggest suitable
surface hardness for the gears.

Q.3 it is required to design a pair of spur gears with 20° full-depth involute teeth consisting of a 18-teeth
pinion meshing with a 50 teeth gear. The pinion shaft is connected to a 25.5 kW, 1550 rpm electric
motor. The starting torque of the motor can be taken as 150% of the rated torque. The material for the
pinion is plain carbon steel Fe 410 (Sut = 410 N/mm2), while the gear is made of grey cast iron FG 200
(Sut =200 N/mm2) . The factor of safety is 1. 5. Design the gears based on the Lewis equation and using
velocity factor to account for the dynamic load.

Q.4 The pitch circles of a train of spur gears are shown in Fig. 17.23. Gear A receives 3.5 kW of power at
700 rpm through its shaft and rotates in the clockwise direction. Gear B is the idler gear while the gear C
is the driven gear. The number of teeth on gears A, B and C are 30, 60 and 40 respectively, while the
module is 5 mm. Calculate
(i) the torque on each gear shaft; and
(ii) the components of gear tooth forces.
Q.5 In a pair of spur gears, the number of teeth on the pinion and the gear are 18 and 90
respectively. The module is 6 mm. Calculate
(i) the centre distance;
(ii) the pitch circle diameters of the pinion
and the gear;
(iii) addendum and dedendum;
(iv) tooth thickness and bottom clearance;
and
(v) the gear ratio.
