Toothed Gearing
1. Explain the terms: (i) Module, (ii) Pressure angle, and (iii) Addendum.
2. State the advantages and disadvantages of gear drive.
3. What are the different types of gears?
4. Derive an expression for the length of the arc of contact in a pair of meshed spur gears.

5. A pinion having 30 teeth drives a gear having 80 teeth. The profile of the gears is involute
with 20° pressure angle, 12 mm module and 10 mm addendum. Find the length of path of
contact, arc of contact and the contact ratio.

6. The pitch circle diameter of the smaller of the two spur wheels which mesh externally and
have involute teeth is 100 mm. The numbers of teeth are 16 and 32. The pressure angle is
20° and the addendum is 0.32 of the circular pitch. Find the length of the path of contact of
the pair of teeth.

7. Two involute gears of 20° pressure angle are in mesh. The number of teeth on pinion is 20
and the gear ratio is 2. If the pitch expressed in module is 5 mm and the pitch line speed is
1.2 m/s, assuming addendum as standard and equal to one module, find: 1. The angle turned
through by pinion when one pair of teeth is in mesh; and 2. The maximum velocity of
sliding.

8. The two gears of module 4 mm have 24 and 33 teeth. The pressure angle is 20° and each
gear has a standard addendum of one module. Find the length of arc of contact and the
maximum velocity of sliding if the pinion rotates at 120 r.p.m.

9. A pair of gears, having 40 and 20 teeth respectively, rotating in mesh, the speed of the
smaller being 2000 r.p.m. Determine the velocity of sliding between the gear teeth faces at
the point of engagement, at the point of pitch, and at the point of disengagement if the
smaller gear is the driver. Assume that the gear teeth are 20° involute form, addendum
length is 5 mm and the module is 5 mm. Also find the angle through which the pinion turns
while any pairs of teeth are in contact.

10. A pair of gears, having 40 and 30 teeth respectively are of 25° involute form. The
addendum length is 5 mm and the module pitch is 2.5 mm. If the smaller wheel is the driver
and rotates at 1500 r.p.m., find the velocity of sliding at the point of engagement and at the
point of disengagement.
11. The number of teeth in gears 1 and 2 are 60 and 40; module = 3 mm; pressure angle =
20° and addendum = 0.318 of the circular pitch. Determine the velocity of sliding when the
contact is at the tip of the teeth of gear 2 and the gear 2 rotates at 800 r.p.m.

12. Two spur gears of 24 teeth and 36 teeth of 8 mm module and 20° pressure angle, are in
mesh. Addendum of each gear is 7.5 mm. The teeth are of involute form. Determine: 1. the
angle through which the pinion turns while any pair of teeth are in contact, and 2. the
velocity of sliding between the teeth when the contact on the pinion is at a radius of 102
mm. The speed of the pinion is 450 r.p.m.

13. Two parallel shafts, about 600 mm apart, are to be connected by spur gears. One shaft is to
be run at 360 r.p.m. and the other at 120 r.p.m. Design the gears, if the circular pitch is to
be 25 mm.

Standard proportions of gear systems.
