Module-5: Toothed Gearing

1. Toothed Gearing
2. Advantages and Disadvantages of Gear Drive
3. Classification of Toothed Wheels
4. Terminology of Gears
5. Condition for Constant Velocity Ratio of Toothed Wheels–Law of Gearing
6. Forms of Teeth
 Cycloidal teeth ; and
 Involute teeth.
7. Comparison Between Involute and Cycloidal Gears
8. Length of Path of Contact
9. Length of Arc of Contact
10. Contact Ratio (or Number of Pairs of Teeth in Contact)
11. Interference in Involute Gears
12. Maximum Length of Path of Contact
13. Maximum Length of Arc of Contact
14. Minimum Number of Teeth on the Pinion in Order to Avoid Interference
15. Minimum Number of Teeth on the Pinion in Order to Avoid Interference
16. Example 1: The number of teeth on each of the two equal spur gears in mesh are 40.
The teeth have 20° involute profile and the module is 6 mm. If the arc of contact is 1.75
times the circular pitch, find the addendum. (6.12 mm)
17. Example 2: A pinion having 30 teeth drives a gear having 80 teeth. The profile of the
gears is involute with 20° pressure angle, 12 mm module and 10 mm addendum. Find
the length of path of contact, arc of contact and the contact ratio. (52.3 mm, 55.66 mm,
1.5 say 2)
18. Example 3: Two involute gears of 20° pressure angle are in mesh. The number of teeth
on pinion is 20 and the gear ratio is 2. If the pitch expressed in module is 5 mm and the
pitch line speed is 1.2 m/s, assuming addendum as standard and equal to one module,
Find: 1. The angle turned through by pinion when one pair of teeth is in mesh (29.45°);
and
2. The maximum velocity of sliding. (455.4 mm/s)
19. Example 4: Two mating gears have 20 and 40 involute teeth of module 10 mm and 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. (6.5 mm, 6.2 mm, 51.3 mm, 54.6 mm, 1.74 say 2)
20. Example 5: Determine the minimum number of teeth required on a pinion, in order to
avoid interference which is to gear with, 1. a wheel to give a gear ratio of 3 to 1 ; and
2. an equal wheel. The pressure angle is 20° and a standard addendum of 1 module for
the wheel may be assumed (15.04 or 16, 12.34 or 13)
21. Gear Train
22. Simple Gear Train
23. Compound Gear Train
24. Reverted Gear Train
25. Epi-cyclic Gear Train
26. Example 6: The speed ratio of the reverted gear train, as shown in Figure is to be 12.
The module pitch of gears A and B is 3.125 mm and of gears C and D is 2.5 mm.
Calculate the suitable numbers of teeth for the gears. No gear is to have less than 24
teeth. (100, 124)

27. Example 7: In an epicyclic gear train, an arm carries two gears A and B having 36 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 ? (270 r.p.m. 510 r.p.m.)

28. Example 8: In a reverted epicyclic gear train, the arm A carries two gears B and C 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 (400 r.p.m.)
29. Example 9: An epicyclic gear consists of three gears A, B and C as shown in 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
(58.5 r.p.m. in the direction of arm, 46.8 r.p.m. in the opposite direction of arm)

30. Example 10: An epicyclic train of gears is arranged as shown in Figure. How many
revolutions does the arm, to which the pinions B and C are attached, make : 1. when A
makes one revolution clockwise and D makes half a revolution anticlockwise, and 2.
when A makes one revolution clockwise and D is stationary ? The number of teeth on
the gears A and D are 40 and 90 respectively
( 0.04 revolution anticlockwise, 0.308 revolution clockwise)
31. Example 11: In an epicyclic gear train, the internal wheels A and B and compound
wheels C and D rotate independently about axis O. The wheels E and F rotate on pins
fixed to the arm G. E gears with A and C and F gears with B and D. All the wheels have
the same module and the number of teeth are : TC = 28; TD = 26; TE = TF = 18. 1.
Sketch the arrangement ; 2. Find the number of teeth on A and B ; 3. If the arm G makes
100 r.p.m. clockwise and A is fixed, find the speed of B ; and 4. If the arm G makes
100 r.p.m. clockwise and wheel A makes 10 r.p.m. counter clockwise ; find the speed
of wheel B.
(64, 62, 4.2 r.p.m. clockwise, 5.4 r.p.m. counter clockwise)
