The (4)
speed ratio is 25. The worm gear is made of phosphor bronze and that
of worm is made of case-hardened carbon steel 10C4. Also determine
the efficiency of the drive.
3 A helical gear with 30 degree helix angle has to transmit 35kW at 1 Apply
1500 rpm with a speed reduction ratio 2:5. If the pinion has 24 teeth (3)
determine the necessary module, pitch diameter and face width for 20
degree full depth teeth. Assume 15Ni 2Cr 1 Mo15 material for both
pinion and wheel.
