KOM Unit-5

The document discusses different types of gear trains: 1. Simple gear train which has one gear on each shaft with the driven gear rotating in opposition to the driving gear. 2. Compound gear train which has more than one pair of gears. 3. Reverted gear train which has one or more idler gears allowing the driven gear to rotate in the same direction as the driver. Reverted gear trains are used in automotive transmissions and industrial machinery. 4. Epicyclic gear train which has one or more gears that revolve around and upon another gear, allowing for multiple rotational outputs.

Unit-5

1. State and prove law of gearing.


Consider the portions of the two teeth, one on the wheel 1 and the other on the
wheel 2, as shown by thick line curves.
Let the two teeth come in contact at point Q, and the wheels rotate in the
directions .
Let T T be the common tangent and MN be the common
normal to the curves at the point of contact Q.
From the centres O1 and O2 , draw O1M and O2N
perpendicular to MN.
The point Q moves in the direction QC, when considered
as a point on wheel 1, and in the direction QD when
considered as a point on wheel2.
Let v1 and v2 be the velocities of the point Q on the
wheels 1 and 2 respectively.
4. Classify gear trains.
Following are the different types of gear trains
1. Simple gear train,
2. Compound gear train,
3. Reverted gear train, and
4. Epicyclic gear train
1.Simple gear train
When there is only one gear on each shaft, it is known
as simple gear train.
Since the gear 1 drives the gear 2, therefore gear 1 is
called the driver and the gear 2 is called the driven or
follower.
The motion of the driven gear is opposite to the
motion of driving gear.
The ratio of the speed of the driver to the speed of the
driven.
Ratio of speeds of any pair of gears in mesh is the
inverse of their number of teeth
Let N1 = Speed of gear 1(or driver) in r.p.m.,
N2 = Speed of gear 2 (or driven or follower) in
r.p.m.,
T1 = Number of teeth on gear 1, and
T2 = Number of teeth on gear 2

2.Compound gear train


3.Reverted gear train
4.Epicyclic gear train
Epicyclic gear train can be expressed, the axes of the shafts, over which the
gears are mounted, may move relative to a fixed axis.
Where a gear A and the arm C have a common axis
at 01 , about which they can rotate.
The gear B meshes with gear A and has its axis on
the arm at 02 , about which the gear B can rotate.
If the arm is fixed, the gear train is simple and gear
A can drive gear B or vice-versa, but if gear A is
fixed and the arm is rotated about the axis of gear
A (i.e., 01), then the gear B is forced to rotate upon
and around gear A. such a motion is called
Epicyclic and the gear trains arranged in such a
mannner that one or more of their members move
upon and around gear A. such a motion is called
epicyclic and the gear trains arranged in such a manner that one or more of their
members move upon and around another member are known as epicyclic gear
trains ( epi means upon and cyclic means around).

5. What is a reverted gear train? Give applications.

The Reverted gear trains are in automotive transmissions, lathe back gears,
industrial speed reducers, and in clocks.
7. A single reduction gear of 120 kW with a pinion 250 mm pitch circle
diameter and speed 650 r.p.m. is supported in bearings on either side.
Calculate the total load due to the power transmitted, the pressure angle
being 20°.
8.
10. Explain the terms: (i) Module, (ii) Pressure angle, and (iii) Addendum.
Module: It is the ratio of the pitch circle diameter in millimeters to the
number of teeth. It is usually denoted by m.
Mathematically, Module, m= D /T
Pressure angle or angle of obliquity: It is the angle between the common
normal to two gear teeth at the point of contact and the common tangent at the
pitch point. It is usually denoted by φ.
The standard pressure angles are 14.5 ° and 20°.
Addendum:It is the radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle
to the top of the tooth.
Dedendum: It is the radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to the
bottom of the tooth.
Addendum circle: It is the circle drawn through the top of the teeth and is
concentric with the pitch circle.
Dedendum circle: It is the circle drawn through the bottom of the teeth. It is
also called root circle.
Pitch circle diameter: It is the diameter of the pitch circle. The size of the gear
is usually specified by the pitch circle diameter. It is also known as pitch
diameter.
