1. Using the simplified approach (do not refine results by using AGMA equations), design a single-reduction straight spur gear unit to operate from a 5.0-hp electric motor running at 900 rpm to drive a rotating machine operating at 80 rpm. The motor is to operate steadily at full rated power. Near-infinite life is desired. A … Read more
1. A 10-pitch 20 full-depth involute gearset, with and face width of 1.25 inches, is being proposed to provide a 2:1 speed reduction for a conveyor drive unit. The 18- tooth pinion is to be driven by a 15-hp, 1725-rpm electric motor operating steadily at full-rated power. A very long life is desired for this … Read more
1.For the gearset specifications of do the following: a. Using the AGMA refined approach, calculate the surface fatigue contact stress for the meshing gear teeth. b. If the proposed material for both gears is AISI 4620 steel, and the teeth are carburized and case hardened (not including the root fillet) to a hardness of approximately … Read more
1. Using the AGMA refined approach, design a high-precision single-reduction straight spur gear unit to operate from a 50-hp electric motor running at 5100 rpm to drive a rotating machine operating at 1700 rpm. The motor operates steadily at full rated power. A life of 107 pinion revolutions is desired, and a reliability of 99 … Read more
1. An existing parallel-shaft single-reduction spur gear speed reducer is made up of a 21-tooth 8-pitch input pinion driving a 73-tooth gear mounted on the output shaft. The center distance between pinion and gear is 5.875 inches. The input shaft is driven by a 15-hp, 1725-rpm electric motor operating steadily at full rated capacity. To … Read more
1.For the Coniflex® bevel gearset described in problem 15-53, the following information has been tabulated or calculated: 630 in-lb 6 2.50 inches 1.15 inches 15 teeth 45 teeth Further, it is proposed to use Grade 2 AISI 4140 steel nitrided and through-hardened to BHN 305 for both the pinion and the gear. Other known design … Read more
1.A proposed worm gearset is to have a single-start worm with a pitch diameter of 1.250 inches, a diametral pitch of 10, and a normal pressure angle of 14 . The worm is to mesh with a worm gear having 40 teeth and a face width of 0.625 inch. Calculate the following: a. Axial pitch … Read more
1.A double-start worm has a lead of 60 mm. The meshing worm gear has 30 teeth, and has been cut using a hob having a module of 8.5 in the normal plane. Do the following: a. Calculate the pitch diameter of the worm. b. Calculate the pitch diameter of the worm gear. c. Calculate the … Read more
1.It is proposed to drive an industrial crushing machine, designed to crush out-of-tolerance scrap ceramic bearing liners, with an in-stock 2-hp, 1200-rpm electric motor coupled to an appropriate speed reducer. The crushing machine input shaft is to rotate at 60 rpm. A worm gear speed reducer is being considered to couple the motor to the … Read more
1. A worm gear speed reducer has a right-hand triplethreaded worm made of hardened steel, a normal pressure angle of 20, an axial pitch of 0.25 inch, and a center distance of 2.375 inches. The gear is made of forged bronze. The speed reduction from input to output is 15:1. If the worm is driven … Read more
