UNIT III Design a bevel gear drive to transmit 3.5 kW. Speed ratio = 4. Driving shaft speed is 200 rpm. The drive is non reversible. The pinion is made of Steel whereas wheel is of CI. Assume a life of 25,000 hrs. OR Design a worm gear drive to transmit 20 KW at 1440 rpm. The speed of worm wheel is 60 rpm. The worm and wheel are made up of steel, bronze respectively. Select the number of starts as 3. UNIT IV The spindle of a pillar drill is to run at 12 different speeds in the range of 100 rpm and 355 rpm. Design a three stage gear box with a standard step ratio. Sketch the layout of the gear box, indicating the number of teeth on each gear. The gear box receives 5 kW from an electric motor running at 360 rpm. Sketch also the speed diagram. OR Draw the kinematic diagram and speed diagram of the gear box in a head stock of a lathe having 9 spindle speeds ranging from 31.5 rpm to 1050 rpm. Calculate the number of teeth on all gears if the minimum number of teeth is 25. Also calculate the % of deviation in speeds. UNIT V A leather faced conical clutch has cone angle of 300. The pressure between the contact surface is limited to 0.35 N/mm2 and the breadth of the conical surface is not to exceed 1/3rd of the mean radius. Determine the dimensions of the contact surface to transmit 22 kW at 2000 rpm. Also calculate the force required to engage the clutch. Take the coefficient of friction as 0.15. OR A differential band brake is to be used for a winch lifting a load of 45 kN through a rope wound around a barrel of 500 mm in diameter. The brake drum to be keyed to the same shaft is to be 600 mm in diameter and the angle of lap of the brake band over the drum is 2500 approximately. Determine the width and thickness of the band. Operating arms of the brake are 40 mm and 200 mm and the operating lever is 1.5 m long.
