Code: 9D15106b M. Tech I Semester Regular & Supplementary Examinations, April/May 2013 GEAR ENGINEERING (Machine Design) Time: 3 hours Answer any FIVE questions All questions carry equal marks ***** 1 (a) What is backlash in gear teeth? What factors influence the backlash in gear teeth? (b) What are different standard systems for the shape of gear teeth? Explain them. (c) What are different materials used for the manufacture of gears? It is required to design a pair of spur gears with 20 degrees full depth involute teeth consisting of 20 teeth pinion meshing with a 50 teeth gear. The pinion shaft is connected to a 20 KW, 1500 rpm electrical motor. The starting torque of the motor can be taken as 140% of the rated torque. The material for the pinion is plain carbon steel with ultimate strength of 400 N/mm2 and the gear is made of grey cast iron with ultimate strength of 200 N/mm2. The factor of safety is 1.3. Design the gears based on Lewis equation and using velocity factor to account for the dynamic load. (a) Write down the expressions for the three components of resultant tooth force in helical gears. (b) A pair of parallel helical gears consists of a 18 teeth pinion meshing with a 63 teeth gear. The normal module is 3 mm. The helix angle is 23 degrees while the normal pressure angle is 20 degrees. Calculate: (i) the transverse module (ii) the transverse pressure angle (iii) the axial pitch (iv) the pitch circle diameters of the pinion and gear (v) the addendum and deddendum circle diameters of the pinion.

A pair of straight bevel gears is mounted on shafts, which are intersecting at right angles. The number of teeth on the pinion and gear are 21 and 28 respectively. The pressure angle is 20 degrees. The pinion shaft is connected to an electric motor developing 4 K W rated power at 1200 rpm. The service factor can be taken as 1.5. The pinion and gear are made of steel with an ultimate strength of 750 N/mm2 and heat treated to a surface hardness of 400 BHN. The gears are machined by a manufacturing process that limits the error between the meshing teeth to 8 micrometers. The module and face width are 4 mm and 20 mm respectively. Determine the factor of safety for bending as well as pitting. Contd. in Page 2 Page 1 of 2
