Assignment-5 (Gear Train)

This document contains 5 problems related to epicyclic gear trains. Problem 1 asks to determine the speed of gear B given the speeds of gear A and the rotating arm. Problem 2 asks to find the speed and direction of gear C in a reverted epicyclic gear train given the speed of gear B and arm A. Problem 3 asks to sketch an arrangement, determine the number of teeth on gears A and B, and find the speed of B under different conditions. Problem 4 asks to determine suitable numbers of teeth for gears in a 'sun and planet' type epicyclic gear to achieve a given speed ratio. Problem 5 asks to calculate suitable numbers of teeth for gears to achieve a given speed ratio in a reverted gear

Assignment No: 5 (Gear Train)

1. 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?

2. 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.

3. 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.
Sketch the arrangement.
a) Find the number of teeth on A and B.
b) If the arm G makes 100 r.p.m. clockwise and A is fixed, find the speed of B.
c) 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.
4. In an epicyclic gear of the ‘sun and planet’ type shown in Figure, the pitch circle
diameter of the internally toothed ring is to be 224 mm and the module 4 mm. When
the ring D is stationary, the spider A, which carries three planet wheels C of equal
size, is to make one revolution in the same sense as the sunwheel B for every five
revolutions of the driving spindle carrying the sunwheel B. Determine suitable
numbers of teeth for all the wheels.

5. 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.
