PROBLEMS 6

1) Calculate the power that can be transmitted safely by a pair of spur gears with
the data given below. Calculate also the bending stresses induced in the two
wheels when the pair transmits this power.
Number of teeth in the pinion = 20
Number of teeth in the gear = 80
Module = 4 mm
Width of teeth = 60 mm
Tooth profile = 20° involute
Allowable bending strength of the material
= 200 MPa, for pinion
= 160 MPa, for gear
Speed of the pinion = 400 r.p.m.
Service factor = 0.8
2) A spur gear made of bronze drives a mid-steel pinion with an angular velocity
ratio of 3.5: 1. The pressure angle is 14.5°. It transmits 5 kW in 1800 r.p.m. of
pinion. Considering only strength, design the smallest diameter gears and find
also necessary face width. The number of teeth should not be less than 15 teeth
on either gear. The elastic strength of bronze may be taken as 84 MPa and of
steel as 105 MPa.
3) A pair of 20° full-depth involute tooth spur gears is to transmit 30 kW at a speed
of 250 r.p.m. of the pinion. The velocity ratio is 1: 4. The pinion is made of cast
steel having an allowable static stress, σo = 100 MPa, while the gear is made of
cast iron having allowable static stress, σo = 55 MPa. The pinion has 20 teeth,
and its face width is 12.5 times the module. Determine the module, face width
and pitch diameters of both the pinion and gear from the standpoint of strength
only taking velocity factor into consideration.
4) A pinion rotating at 1200 r.p.m. is to transmit 1 kW to a cast iron gear at a speed
of 192 r.p.m. Assuming a starting overload of 20% and using 20° full depth
involute teeth, determine the module, number of teeth on the pinion and gear and
face width. Take allowable static strength for pinion as 40 MPa and for cast iron
as 53 MPa. Check the pair in wear.
5) A 15 kW and 1200 r.p.m. motor drives a compressor at 300 r.p.m. through a pair
of spur gears having 20° stub teeth. The center-to-center distance between the
shafts is 400 mm. The motor pinion is made of forged steel having an allowable
static stress as 210 MPa, while the gear is made of cast steel having allowable
static stress as 140 MPa. Assuming that the drive operates 8 to 10 hours per day
under light shock conditions, find from the standpoint of strength, 1. Module; 2.
Face width and 3. Number of teeth and pitch circle diameter of each gear. Check
the gears thus designed from the consideration of wear. The surface endurance
limit may be taken as 700 MPa.
6) A motor shaft rotating at 1440 r.p.m. has to transmit 15 kW to a low-speed shaft
rotating at 500 r.p.m. The teeth are 20° involute with 25 teeth on the pinion. Both
the pinion and gear are made of cast iron with a maximum safe stress of 56 MPa.
A safe stress of 35 MPa may be taken for the shaft on which the gear is mounted.
Design and sketch the spur gear drive to suit the above conditions. The starting
torque may be assumed as 1.25 times the running torque.
7) Design and draw a spur gear drive transmitting 30 kW at 400 r.p.m. to another
shaft running approximately at 100 r.p.m. The load is steady and continuous. The
materials for the pinion and gear are cast steel and cast iron respectively. Take
module as 10 mm. Also check the design for dynamic load and wear.
PROBLEMS 7
1) The ball bearings are to be selected for an application in which the radial load
is 2000 N during 90 per cent of the time and 8000 N during the remaining 10 per
cent. The shaft is to rotate at 150 r.p.m. Determine the minimum value of the
basic dynamic load rating for 5000 hours of operation with not more than 10 per
cent failures.
2) A ball bearing subjected to a radial load of 5 kN is expected to have a life of 8000
hours at 1450 r.p.m. with a reliability of 99%. Calculate the dynamic load
capacity of the bearing so that it can be selected from the manufacturer's
catalogue based on a reliability of 90%.
3) A ball bearing subjected to a radial load of 4000 N is expected to have a
satisfactory life of 12 000 hours at 720 r.p.m. with a reliability of 95%. Calculate
the dynamic load carrying capacity of the bearing, so that it can be selected from
manufacturer's catalogue based on 90% reliability. If there are four such
bearings, each with a reliability of 95% in a system, what is the reliability of the
complete system?
4) A rolling contact bearing is subjected to the following work cycle:
(a) Radial load of 6000 N at 150 r.p.m. for 25% of the time; (b) Radial load of
7500 N at 600 r.p.m. for 20% of the time; and (c) Radial load of 2000 N at 300
r.p.m. for 55% of the time. The inner ring rotates, and loads are steady. Select a
bearing for an expected average life of 2500 hours.
5) A single row deep groove ball bearing operating in 2000 r.p.m. is acted by a 10
kN radial load and 8 kN thrust load. The bearing is subjected to a light shock
load and the outer ring is rotating. Determine the rating life of the bearing.
