mm ; and BD = 46 mm. The centre distance between the centres of
rotation O and C is 65 mm. The path of travel of the slider is 11 mm

1. the least number of teeth that can be used on each wheel, and
2. the addendum of the wheel in terms of the circular pitch?
b(ii) Two parallel shafts, about 600 mm apart are to be connected by spur [6] AP CO2
gears. One shaft is to run at 360 r.p.m. and the other at 120 r.p.m. Design

contact is 1.75 times the circular pitch, find the addendum.
a(ii) Two mating gears have 20 and 40 involute teeth of module 10 mm and [6] AP CO2
20° pressure angle. The addendum on each wheel is to be made of such a
length that the line of contact on each side of the pitch point has half the
maximum possible length. Determine the addendum height for each gear
wheel, length of the path of contact, arc of contact and contact ratio.

(b) A pair of gears, having 40 and 20 teeth respectively, is rotating in mesh, [13] AN CO2
the speed of the smaller being 2000 r.p.m. Determine the velocity of
sliding between the gear teeth faces at the point of engagement, at the
pitch point, and at the point of disengagement if the smaller gear is the
driver. Assume that the gear teeth are 20° involute form, addendum
length is 5 mm and the module is 5 mm. Also find the angle through
which the pinion turns while any pairs of teeth are in contact.

2.5 mm. Calculate the suitable numbers of teeth for the gears. No gear is
to have less than 24 teeth.

(or)
(b) In an epicyclic gear train, an arm carries two gears A and B having 36 [13] AN CO2
and 45 teeth respectively. If the arm rotates at 150 r.p.m. in the
anticlockwise direction about the centre of the gear A which is fixed,
determine the speed of gear B. If the gear A instead of being fixed, makes
300 r.p.m. in the clockwise direction, what will be the speed of gear B ?
PART – C (1x 15 = 15 Marks)
16 (a) In a reverted epicyclic gear train, the arm A carries two gears B and C [15] AN CO2
and a compound gear D - E. The gear B meshes with gear E and the gear
C meshes with gear D. The number of teeth on gears B, C and D are 75,
30 and 90 respectively. Find the speed and direction of gear C when gear
B is fixed and the arm A makes 100 r.p.m. clockwise.
(or)
(b) An epicyclic gear consists of three gears A, B and C as shown in the [15] AN CO2
Figure. The gear A has 72 internal teeth and gear C has 32 external teeth.
The gear B meshes with both A and C and is carried on an arm EF which
rotates about the centre of A at 18 r.p.m.. If the gear A is fixed, determine
the speed of gears B and C.
