Assignment 02

The document provides instructions for calculating various properties of parallel helical gears and herringbone gears. It asks the reader to calculate properties like transverse module, transverse pressure angle, axial pitch, pitch circle diameters, and center distance for a pair of parallel helical gears. It also asks the reader to determine the power transmitting capacity, factor of safety against bending failure and against pitting failure for another pair of parallel helical gears and a herringbone speed reducer. Finally, it asks several questions about different types of helical gears like parallel, crossed, virtual, single, double, and herringbone gears.

and the normal pressure angle is 20°. The normal module is 3 mm. Calculate (i) the transverse module; (ii) the
transverse pressure angle; (iii) the axial pitch; (iv) the pitch circle diameters of the pinion and the gear; (v) the
centre distance; and (vi) the addendum and dedendum circle diameters of the pinion.
2. A pair of parallel helical gears consists of a 20 teeth pinion meshing with a 100 teeth gear. The pinion rotates at
720 rpm. The normal pressure angle is 20°, while the helix angleis 25°. The face width is 40 mm and the normal
3. module is 4 mm. The pinion as well as the gear is made of steel 4OC8 (Sut = 600 N/mm2) and heat treated to a
surface hardness of 300 BHN. The service factor and the factor of safety are 1.5 and 2 respectively. Assume that
the velocity factor accounts for the dynamic load and calculate the power transmitting capacity of gears.
4. A herringbone speed reducer consists of a 26 teeth pinion driving a 104 teeth gear. The gears have a normal
module of 2 mm. The pressure angle is 20° and the helix angle is 25°. The pinion receives 100 kW power through
its shaft and rotates at 3600 rpm. The face width of each half is 35 mm. The gears are made of alloy steel 30Ni4Cr1
(Sut = 1500 N/mm2) and heat treated to a surface hardness of 450 BHN. The service factor is 1.25. Determine
