Name

On the planetary system at

left find the angular
velocity of the output shaft
for an input velocity of
1,000 RPM. Give velocity
sense for output.

In the planetary system at

left determine the speed
and sense of rotation of
shaft A for an input speed
of 1000 RPM at shaft D.

In the planetary gear

system at left, find the
output angular velocity
and sense, for an input of
60 RPM.

Gear Strength Problems

1. A steel spur pinion has a diametral pitch of 12 teeth/in, 16 teeth cut full-depth with a 20
pressure angle, and a face width of 3/4 in. This pinion is expected to transmit 1.5 hp at a speed
of 700 rev/min. Determine the bending stress.
2. Determine the horsepower rating of a 20 full-depth spur pinion having 18 teeth, a diametral
pitch of 16 teeth/in, and a face width of 0.75 in. The speed is 1,000 rev/min, and the allowable
bending stress is 10 kpsi.
3. A gear drive consists of a 16-tooth 20 spur pinion and a 48-tooth cast-iron gear having a pitch
of 12 teeth/in. For a power input of 1.5 hp at a pinion speed of 700 rev/min, select a face width
based on an allowable contact stress of 100 kpsi.
