Question 11.2: Gear Tooth and Gear Mesh Parameters Two parallel shafts A an......

Gear Tooth and Gear Mesh Parameters

Two parallel shafts A and B with center distance c are to be connected by 2 teeth/in. diametral pitch, 20° pressure angle, and spur gears l and 2 providing a velocity ratio of rs (Figure 11.9). Determine, for each gear:

a. The number of teeth N .

b. The radius of the base circle r_b and outside diameter d_o .

c. Clearance f .

d. The pitch-line velocity V , if gear 2 rotates at speed n_2 .

Given: n_2=500  rpm , r_s=1 / 3, c=14 \text { in., } P=2 \text { in. }^{-1}, \phi=20^{\circ} \text {. }

Design Decision: Common stock gear sizes are considered.

a. Using Equation (11.6), we have r_1+r_2=c=14 \text { in., } r_1 / r_2=1 / 3 \text {. } Hence, r_1=3.5 \text { in., } r_2=10.5 \text { in. } ,or d_1=7 \text { in., } d_2=21 in . Equation (11.2) leads to

c=r_1+r_2=\frac{N_1+N_2}{2 P}      (11.6)

p=\frac{N}{d}          (11.2)

N_1=7(2)=14, \quad N_2=21(2)=42

b. Base circle radii, applying Equation (11.9), are

r_b=r \cos \phi        (11.9)

\begin{aligned} & r_{b 1}=3.5 \cos 20^{\circ}=3.289  in . \\ & r_{b 2}=10.5 \cos 20^{\circ}=9.867  in . \end{aligned}

From Table 11.1, the addendum a =1/2=0.5 in. Then

\begin{aligned} & d_{o 1}=7+2(0.5)=8  in .\\ & d_{o 2}=21+2(0.5)=22  in . \end{aligned}

c. We have f=b_d-a . Table 11.1 gives the dedendum b_d=1.25 / 2=0.625  in . , and hence,

f=0.625-0.5=0.125  in .

for the pinion and gear. Note as a check that from Table 11.1, f =0.25/2=0.125 in.

d. Substituting the given data, Equation (11.7) results in

V=r_1 \omega_1=r_2 \omega_2        (11.7)

V=r_2 \omega_2=\frac{10.5}{12}\left(500 \times \frac{2 \pi}{60}\right)=45.81  fps
