Gear Drive Problems

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 1


6) A compound gear train consists of 6 gears A,B,C,D,E

and F, they have 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 teeth

respectively. A is fitted to the first shaft and meshed with

B. B and C are fitted to the second shaft and C is

meshed with D. D and E are fitted to the third shaft and

E is meshed with F which is fixed to another shaft.

7) A compound gear train is formed by 4 gears P,Q,R and S.
Gear P meshes with gear Q and gear R meshes with
gear S. Gears Q and R are compounded. P is connected
to driving shaft and S connected to the driven shaft and
power is transmitted. The details of the gear are,

Gears P Q R S
No. of Teeth 30 60 40 80

If the gear S were to rotate at 60 rpm. Calculate the


speed of P. Represent the gear arrangement
schematically. 5

8) Two parallel shafts are to be connected by a gear

drive. They are very nearly 1m apart and their velocity

ratio is to be exactly 9:2. If the pitch of the gears is 57

mm, find the number of teeth in each of the two

wheels and distance between the shafts.

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 15


LATHE

Live center

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 16


Bed:
• Foundation part of a

lathe

• Supports all its other

parts.

• Two guide ways on top

of the bed

– outer guide ways

– inner guide ways.

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 17


Headstock:
• Housing comprising of
– feed gear box
– stepped cone pulley

• Rigidly mounted on the


inner guide ways of
lathe bed at its left end.

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 18


Tailstock:
• Movable part of the
lathe that carries the
dead centre in it.
• Used to clamp tools
like: Twist drills
Reamers
For making holes.
• Mounted loosely on
the inner guide ways
of a lathe bed
• Moved and locked in
any position.

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 19


Carriage assembly:
• To support the tool
• Moves over the outer
guide ways longitudinally
between headstock
and tailstock.
It is composed of 5 main parts:
1. Saddle
2. Cross slide
3. Compound Rest
4. Apron
5. Tool post
Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 20
Saddle
• H shaped casting that
slides over set of guide
ways
• Serves as the base for the
cross slide.

Cross slide
• Mounted on the saddle
• Enables the movement
of the cutting tool laterally
across the lathe bed by
means of cross feed hand
wheel.
Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 21
Compound Rest
•Mounted on the top of the
cross slide
•Supports the tool post.
•Swiveled to any angle in
the horizontal plane
•To facilitate following
operations:
•Taper turning
•Threading operations
•Moved manually by the
compound rest feed
handle independent of the
lathe cross feed.
Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 22
Apron
•Mounted on the front of the saddle
• Consists of,
- Carriage
- Cross slide mechanisms
•Apron hand wheel moves the carriage manually by
means of the rack and pinion gears.
Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 23
Tool post
•Mounted on the T – slot of the compound rest.

•Clamps the tool holder in the proper position for

machining operations.
Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 24
Lead Screw:
• A screw rod which runs longitudinally in front of the
lathe bed.
• Rotation of the lead screw moves the carriage to and
fro longitudinally during thread cutting operation.
Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 25
Feed rod:
• A stationary rod mounted in front of the lathe
bed
• Facilitates longitudinal movement of carriage
during turning and facing operations.

Dept. of Mech & Mfg. Engg. 26


Cone pulley and back gear:
• Cone pulley which drives the main spindle is
driven by the motor.
• Various spindle speeds can be obtained by shifting the
belt on different steps of the cone pulley.
• Spindle speeds can be further varied using a back gear
arrangement.
