The horizontal (tangential) gear force component W can be considered transmitted force F . Therefore, substituting F for W and y for the form ratio. i.e., bP F b = = For ordinary design conditions, the gear width b is limited to a maximum value of 4-times the circular pitch Pc . i.e., P k b = = to be equal to the y c k 4 = = 4 P c c Therefore, 2 = = = = F bP y P ky b c b c 2 2 = = F kym b Torque = = and , F Pitch radius 6
REMARKS (A) If "D" is known, the following form of Lewis equation can be used: k . y . m Where, b(all): the allowable normal stress. K =4 M . 2 F = = The equation gives a numerical allowable value for the term (l/m2y). The value of the module can be determined after knowing the value of the number of teeth Z and the value of y (from the above table) 2 1 2 b ( all ) = = F t D 7
It is important to notice that the number of teeth of the pinion is assumed to be equal or more than 15 tooth. (B) If D" is unknown, then the following form of Lewis equation can be used: 2 3 b = = M . t m k . . . y . Z 2 where, b is the allowable stress. Mt = the transmitted torque. K = 4 Z = Number of teeth on the weaker gear. 8

ALLOWABLE TOOTH STRESSES If o is endurance limit of the gear material, V is the linear velocity of the pitch line velocity, then the allowable stress can be determined from the relations that given in the following Table. Allowable stress Linear Velocity 3 o = = V V < 10 m/s 3 V b ( all ) + + . 5 6 o = = 10 20 m/s 5 . 6 b ( all ) + + 6 o = = > 20 m/s 6 V b ( all ) + + 10
Values of the Endurance Limit The value of the endurance limit is the stress at a number of repeated cycles of 107. However, there are some values of the most common materials in the following table.

Design based on Weaker Gear As design based on the product 0y, therefore, the weaker gear is that with smaller value for this product. If the wheel material, therefore, the pinion is weaker. and pinion of the same 12

SOLVED PROBLEM A pair of mating spur gears has 14.5 full-depth teeth of 10 module. The pitch diameter of the smallest gear is 160 mm. If the transmission ratio is 3 to 2, Calculate: (a) Number of teeth for each gear. (b) Addendum. (c ) Whole depth. (d) Clearance. (e) Outside diameters. (f) Root diameters. (g) Dedendum. (h) Base circle diameters (i) Check for interference, 17
SOLUTION (a) Number of teeth for each gear. (b) Addendum. (c ) Whole depth. (d) Clearance. (e) Outside diameters. (a) Dp=160 mm Dg = 160 x(3/2) = 240 mm, Zp=160/10 = 16 teeth, Zg= 240/10= 24 teeth. (b) addendum = m = 10 mm (C) Whole depth = 2.157m = 2.157x10 = 21.57 mm (d) Clearance = 0.157 m = 0.157 x 10 = 1.57 mm (e) Outside diameter = pitch diameter + (2 x addendum) Outside diameter of pinion = 160 + 2 x 10 = 180 mm Outside diameter of gear = 240 +2x10= 260 mm 18
(f) Root diameters. (g) Dedendum. (h) Base circle diameters (i) Check for interference, (f) Root diameter = outside - 2 whole depth Root diameter of pinion = 180 -2 x 21.57 = 136.86 mm Root diameter of gear = 260 -2 x 21.57 = 216.86 mm (g) Dedendum = 1.157 m = 1.157 x 10 = 11.57 mm (h) Radius of base circle = pitch radius x cos 14.5 For pinion: Rb = (160/2) x cos 14.5 = 77.45 mm i.e. Diameter of base circle = 154.90 mm For gear : Rg = (240/2)x cos 14.5 = 116.18 mm i.e. Diameter of base circle = 232.36 mm (i) Interference is avoided if the addendum radius of the gear is: 1 [ ) 18 . 116 ( R add + + + + = = 2 2 2 = = 160 ( 240 )] 9 sin 14 5 . ) 126 51 . mm 2 19
As the addendum radius of the gear is Rag= (240+2m) = 260/2 = 130 mm Interference will exist and some modification in the design will be necessary. Decreasing the module from 10 to 8 and increasing the pinion pitch circle diameter to 192 will be just sufficient to avoid interference. 20
EXAMPLE 2 A bronze spur pinion ( o= 83 MN/m2) rotating at 600 rpm drives a cast iron spur gear ( o= 103 MN/m2) at a transmission ratio of 4:1. The pinion has 16 standard 20 Full-depth involute teeth of 8 module. The face width of both gears is 90 mm. how much power can be transmitted from the standpoint of strength? 21
Solution It is necessary to determine which is weaker, gear or pinion by determining and comparing the value of the product ( 0y). Enduranc e limit " o" Number of teeth Form factor y" oY Pinion 16 83x 106 0.094 7.8x106 Gear 64 103xl06 0.135 13.9xl06 Since the load carrying capacity of the tooth is function of ( oy) product, 22
The pitch line velocity "V" is next determined in order to select the correct velocity factor allowable stress: D r V p = = = = required for calculating the Z m p 2 N p = = 2 60 2 600 x 2 1 16 x 8 = = = = V ( )( x ) 02 . 4 m / s 60 2 1000 where Zpx m = 16 x 8 Since, V < l0 m/s 3 o = = b ( all ) + + 3 V 3 6 2 = = = = 83 10 35 . Mn 5 / m b ( all ) + + 3 4 . 02 23
The force that can be transmitted: F = o(all) b y Pc = (35.5xl06)(0.09)(0.094)(8 /1000) = 7.542 kN The transmitted power: P = FV = 7542 x 4.02 = 30.3 kW 24
EXAMPLE 3 A spur pinion of cast steel ( o= 140 MN/m2) is to drive a spur gear of cast iron ( o= 55 MN/m2). The transmission ratio (gear or velocity ratio) is to be 7 to 3. The diameter of the pinion is to be 105 mm and 20 kW will be transmitted at 900 rev/min of the pinion. The teeth rat 20 full depth involute form. Design for gear pair the greatest number of teeth and determine the necessary module and face width of the gears. 25
Solution The first step is to assume a number of teeth "Z" for both the pinion and gear according to the transmission ratio to determine the weaker gear of the pair. Assume Zp= 30 teeth & Zg= 70 teeth These numbers should satisfied the speed ratio (i.e. Zp/Zg=3/7) & oY (for pinion) = 140 x 106 x 0.114= 15.96 xl06 oY ( tor gear) = 55 x 106x0.137 = 7.54xl06 i.e., the gear is the weakest element. Dp = 105 mm & Dg= 245 mm 26
Since, the diameters are known, the following formula of Lewis equation will be used: = = 2 k . ) 1 2 b ( all m y . F Torque transmitted by pinion 20000 x 60 = = = = T 212 Nm 900 x 2 Transmitted force F : 212 = = = = F 4040 N 0 . 0525 27
Pitch line velocity = 0.0525(900x2 /60) = 4.95 m/s Allowable stress o(all) = 55xl06[3/(3+4.95)]= 20.8 MN/m2 1 2 6 2 3 = = = = 20 8 . 10 x x ( 4 ) / 4040 203 10 x allowable ( ) m y Try m = 7 Zg = 245/7= 35 teeth & y = 0.119 (from table) and 1/m2y = 171.5 x l03 i.e. the gear is strong. A module of 6, 8 or 9 cannot be used due to the required velocity ratio. A module of 5 would give too weak gear. Hence, reduce k to k = (4) (171.5/202.8) = 3.383. Then, b = 3.383x7 =74.4 mm Use b = 75 mm & m = 7 & Zp = 15 & Zg= 35 28
Final check Final check to determine the weaker of the two gears based on the tooth number selection: i.e., oY (for pinion) = 140xl06x0.092 = 12.88 xl06 oY (for gear) = 55 xl06 x 0.119= 6.545x 106 (weaker). 29
