Question:
Describe design situations. For each, design a pair of spur gears, specifying (at least) the diametral pitch, the number of teeth in each gear, the pitch diameters of each gear, the center distance, the face width, and the material from which the gears are to be made. Design for recommended life with regard to both strength and pitting resistance. Work toward designs that are compact. Use standard values of diametral pitch, and avoid designs for which interference could occur. Assume that the input to the gear pair is from an electric motor unless otherwise stated.
If the data are given in SI units, complete the design in the metric module system with dimensions in millimeters, forces in newton's, and stresses in megapascals.
A water turbine transmits 75 kW of power to a pair of gears at 4500 rpm. The output of the gear pair must drive an electric power generator at 3600 rpm. The center distance for the gear pair must not exceed 150 mm.
