The bevel pinion in Fig. 13–36a rotatès at 600 rev/min in the direction shown and transmits 5 hp to the gear. The mounting distances, the location of all bearings, and the average pitch radii of the pinion and gear are shown in the figure. For simplicity, the teeth have been replaced by pitch cones. Bearings A and C should take the thrust loads. Find the bearing forces on the gearshaft.

The pitch angles are

γ = tan^{−1} \left( \frac {3}{9}\right) = 18.4°    Γ = tan^{−1} \left( \frac{9}{3}\right)= 71.6°

The pitch-line velocity corresponding to the average pitch radius is

V =\frac{2πr_{P}n}{12} =\frac{2π(1.293)(600)}{12} = 406  ft/min

Therefore the transmitted load is

W_{t} =\frac{33 000H}{V} =\frac{(33 000)(5)}{406} = 406  lbf

which acts in the positive z direction, as shown in Fig. 13–36b. We next have

W_{r} = W_{t}  tan  \phi   cos  Γ = 406  tan  20° cos  71.6° = 46.6  lbf

W_{a} = W_{t}  tan  \phi  sin  Γ = 406  tan  20°  sin  71.6° = 140  lbf

where W_{r} is in the −x direction and W_{a} is in the −y direction, as illustrated in the isometric sketch of Fig. 13–36b.

In preparing to take a sum of the moments about bearing D, define the position vector from D to G as

R_{G} = 3.88i − (2.5 + 1.293)j = 3.88i − 3.793j

We shall also require a vector from D to C:

R_{C} = −(2.5 + 3.625)j = −6.125j

Then, summing moments about D gives

R_{G} ×W+ R_{C} × F_{C} + T = 0                       (1)

When we place the details in Eq. (1), we get

(3.88i − 3.793j) × (−46.6i − 140j + 406k)+ (−6.125j) × (F^{x}_{C}i + F^{y}_{C}j + F^{z}_{C}k)+ T j = 0                   (2)

After the two cross products are taken, the equation becomes

(−1540i − 1575j − 720k) +(−6.125F^{z}_{C}i + 6.125F^{x}_{C}k)+ T j = 0

from which

T = 1575j  lbf · in            F^{x}_{C} = 118  lbf              F^{z}_{C} = −251  lbf                      (3)

Now sum the forces to zero. Thus

F_{D} + F_{C} +W = 0                        (4)

When the details are inserted, Eq. (4) becomes

(F^{x}_{D}i + F^{z}_{D}k)+(118i + F^{y}_{C}j − 251k)+ (−46.6i − 140j + 406k) = 0                     (5)

First we see that F^{y}_{C} = 140 lbf, and so

F_{C} = 118i + 140j − 251k  lbf

Then, from Eq. (5),

F_{D} = −71.4i − 155k  lbf

These are all shown in Fig. 13–36b in the proper directions.The analysis for the pinion shaft is quite similar.
