The temperature rise should be restricted to 400C. 18 marks UNIT IV What do you understand by preferred numbers? 2 marks 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. 18 marks OR What does the ray diagram of the gear box indicates? 2 marks 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. 18 marks UNIT V List the desirable characteristics of brake lining material. - 6 marks 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. 14 marks 6 marks
