Bevel Gears Problems
Bevel Gears Problems
1. The pinion of a pair of bevel gears rotates at 1,000 rpm. The pitch cone angle of the pinion is 35 0. The
angle between shafts to were the bevel gears are connected is at 900. Determine the rotative speed of
the gear.
2. A pair of bevel gears are used to transmit power in shafts which are at 900. The pitch cone angle of the
gear is 600. Determine the speed reduction.
3. A pair of 14 1/20 involute bevel gears is used to transmit power in shafts which are at right angles which
mate in a speed ratio of 2. The diametral pitch is 4. The pinion has a pitch diameter of 6 inches. Determine
the dedendum angle of the pinion.
4. A 200 full depth straight-tooth bevel gear has a face width of 2 inches with cone pitch angle of 350. Find
the pitch diameter of the bevel gear.
5. A 200 full depth straight-tooth bevel gear has a face width of 1 1/2 inches and pitch diameter of 12
inches. If the tangential torque on the gear is 800 in - lb, what is the normal force on the gear?
6. A left handed spiral bevel gear transmits power to a mating gear with a velocity ratio of 3. Find the pitch
angle of the gear.
7. A left handed spiral bevel gear transmits 5 hp to a mating gear at a rotative speed of 1,200 rpm. The
pitch diameter of the pinion is 4 inches. Determine the tangential force on the gear.
8. A Gleason crown bevel gear of 48 teeth and a diametral pitch of 12 is driven by a 24-tooth pinion.
Determine the angle between shafts.
